Jul 09, 2025Relaxing Stay
Stayed 3 nights in an ocean view king with sofabed which was plenty big for our family of 3. The balconies on beach side are smaller than the pool side (also ocean front) but just big enough to sit two and quieter. Ice and filtered water on every floor and they give you two refillable water bottles and a mini fridge. Very relaxing resort coming off a few days staying in Waikiki. Never had to worry about finding chairs at the beach or pool. And the grounds are lovely for walks or finding a hammock by the ocean. Really appreciated the complimentary bikes. Can take out and explore for an hour and there’s 12 miles of trails including along coast and the stables nearby. Food is expensive. Breakfast buffet at $52 and most dishes in the $30 zone. But views are nice and didn’t have to worry about waiting for a table. The Beach House by Roy’s was tasty with good portions and service but expectedly expensive. Gym was really nice. Overlooks ocean. Would consider coming back on an extended trip to Oahu as a complement to Waikiki.

Great Resort
The north shore of O'ahu is beautiful and the Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay is in a fabulous location as well as being one of the very best resorts in the state. We were in a beach bungalow and it was terrific. The room, the grounds, and the bungalow pool, where Jon made sure that everyone was well taken care of, were impeccable. All the restaurants and room service were excellent. Kulima cove was a great place to hang out and swim but the snorkeling was marginal. We highly recommend the Shaka Safari bird watching tour - our guide Annika's presentation was done with real aloha and she spotted everything including 4 monk seals relaxing on the beach. This is the perfect place to enjoy doing nothing but there are also so many activities available that one could stay many times and not run out of things to do. Can't wait to come back.

Great family break at the Ritz
Loving our time here at turtle bay resort. The hotel is amazing and perfect for a restful break. The accommodation is beautiful , rooms clean and modern with great views. It’s a lovely place to stay without the hustle and bustle of Waikiki . Stayed with our 5 children ranging in age from 22 to 13 and there was something for all of them .

Great Location with lots to do!
Fantastic summer getaway! This hotel has so much to offer. We booked the kayak turtle adventure, sunset horseback ride, spa, resort photographer and golf. We also did the sunset sail through the Ritz in nearby Haliewa. Took advantage of the lei-making class and use of the speaker that was included in the resort fee. Did the 2+mile walk to/from the banyan tree/pillbox one morning - which was incredible. Splurged on club access- which was a great place to see the sun set. Roy’s was delicious (but pricey). Enjoyed the Banana Bread Latte from the coffee shop. Good vibes, views and drinks at the lobby bar. Check out the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” drink at Alaia. It was a fantastic family vacation with some AWESOME service from staff on site. Can’t wait to return!

Modern Luxury Meets the Best of the North Shore
If you’re looking to experience the full charm and luxury of Oahu’s North Shore, The Ritz-Carlton at Turtle Bay is a top choice I would highly recommend. My 10-year-old son had an absolute blast taking part in the on-site surfing class — he loved it so much that he said he wants to come back again. It was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation for the whole family. The interiors are pristine, beautifully designed, and reflect a sense of modern luxury that’s both refreshing and calming. That said, there are a couple of areas that could use some attention. The women’s restroom near the first-floor lobby could be better maintained, and the valet staff at the initial drop-off plays a key role in shaping the guest’s first impression — a bit more attentiveness here would elevate the experience even further. In that regard, I’d say The Kahala Resort still sets the gold standard for hospitality. But overall, The Ritz-Carlton Turtle Bay remains a stunning destination I would absolutely return to.
