5 of us went to my son's wedding at the resort. We chose a condo because we wanted the extra room. All of us were very pleased. The condo was very nice and we had PLENTY of room. We loved our trip and will definitely stay there again!
We arrived to helpful staff, and even more friendly neighbours....we LOVED our stay and Lei Lei's was awesome. We want to go back tomorrow!!
We did not expect the condo to be so nice. It was very clean and well stocked. There was everything we needed to prepare any meal. The property manager was not only helpful but nice and accessible. When we had a minor plumbing problem, the management responded immediately and the fix was made while we were sightseeing for the day. The location is perfect, a very close walk to the beach, and close to so many other attractions. I highly recommend this condo. We had a fabulous time!
loved having kitchen well-stocked(pots,utensils,flatware, dishware! liked the tile throughout condo. loved screened in porch except for large bush outside screen blocking mountain view. loved short walk to beach. never figured out how to turn off overhead fan in upstairs bedroom.
Three stars for the hard pillows and beds. Four stars for cleanliness because the upstairs bedroom floor was dusty and dirty, and the a/c dusty. We cleaned it up, no prob. Killed a bunch of ants in that room. This unit has everything you need! Very well equipped! Very nice furnishings, superb location. We would definately return to this property!!
The dinner at Ola was great. Lunch is also wonderful. You can go to the beach and park free in the lot with a beach visitor pass. The unit itself was very nice and we enjoyed the clean nice space. The unit could not be made really cold but the 2 bedrooms both had air con.
this was a nice place to stay. lots of room, walking distance to the beach at the resort. we easily could have stayed for much longer, and been comfortable. would be happy staying here again
I had a wonderful time... beach and golf just out the door
we will definitely come back
We had a great time. Condo was well appointed and spotless. Had everything to make the stay comfortable. The staff was so helpful and efficient. Cudos to them! Turtle Bay is so well groomed with fantastic foliage and the pool was spotless and heated! Adult only pool was a great option too. Quick walk to the most beautiful beach on earth! Great jogging/walking paths in the pines along the ocean and big surf too. What more could you want? Gotta try the Mai Tai at the nearby hotel pool bar, they are world famous. Will come again soon as I have for the last 20 years. You won't be disappointed.
Over all, excellent. Two items: 1.The king bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was perhaps the worst bed I have ever had at any hotel or condo and it caused me a great deal of back pain which soured my trip somewhat. 2. The security guards were rude and annoyed at any questions. After talking with them twice with simple questions (Is there beach access from here? Is there WiFi access? - both answered with a curt "NO" without even looking at us), we did not approach them again.
We used to live in Malaikahana and saw Del Webb develop that area...poorly. We were very impressed with what you have done and we will look forward to booking with you folks again Thanks, R Harrison
The overall stay at the estates will be a very memorable one and if i should need another place to stay at while here it will be through the estates that i find one!!!!
This was the perfect location for our intergenerational family. Very comfortable and well-equipped. We'd like to do it again next year!
Very Honest
If you're going to Oahu this is the only way to go. Close to good golf, best beaches, best side of the island, best access to the things you want to do, best place to stay with a family.
We were all extremely happy with our experience at Turtle Bay Estates. Loved our unit. It was almost spotless. The mirror in the master bathroom had some splashes of water and maybe soap right above the sink, and that was the only thing I noticed that wasn't spotless. There were some paint cans stacked in downstairs bedroom closet, & the ladies in that room were concerned about their clothing touching those. Other than that, it couldn't have been much better.
We've been been visiting the North Shore of Oahu for many years and always stay at the Estates at Turtle Bay. It's the perfect spot on North Shore with access to big wave surf, golf, excellent restaurants and shopping in nearby Haleiwa.
Great accommodations, friendly people, everything was perfect!!
THESE CONDO'S ARE WONDERFUL. ON THE GOLF COURSE, BEAUTIFUL. CLOSE TO MANY OTHER ACTIVITIES I.E. SWIMMING, HORSEBACK RIDING, RESTAURANTS (LEILEI'S AT THE GOLF COURSE....TRY THE GRILLED PRIME RIB AND SEAFOOD PASTA.) YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
Everything was profect except we had noooooooooo hot water to shower the two days we stayed. Maintenence came to fix the problem. But it did not help, stayed hot for two minutes then cold again, not very pleasant.
The water heater in this condo has been replaced.
We were generally very happy with the condo and had a great time. The bathrooms were clean. Lots of "extras" like boogie boards, coolers, BBQs, beach towels, and an array of kitchenwares. The lanai space was great--it overlooked the golf course and was a stone's throw away from Lei Lei's Restaurant. We never used the AC because there was a great breeze and the fans also helped keep things cool. Very relaxing. Some of the problem areas for us were the stickiness of the dresser drawers and kitchen cabinets. They really were stuck and hard to use. Plus, I don't think anyone checked the drawers as there were a couple of clothes items left behind and a drawer that held some empty juice bottles. The refrigerator also had some leftover bread and desserts. I'm sure some folks may appreciate leftover items and don't mind it, but I think that's gross. There were also partially used shampoos and soaps. I guess it's really your own personal preferences about using something left behind by someone else. Overall, we would stay again. The location and lay out of the condo make up for it. Close to the pools, restaurants, etc. and although they only guaranteed one parking stall, we were able to use a guest stall for our second car as well. Great deal!
The garbage truck early every morning was extremely loud. And we had no idea how to check in when we arrived late. The office number says not to call unless emergency. Otherwise the condo was great and pool was nice and warm.
Every guest is sent a confirmation letter with detailed check-in instructions.
The only downside issue regarding this property is the condition of the pots/pans, they have had it and need replacing. Otherwise, loved the place.
Our stay in The Estates at Turtle Bay was very satisfying. We have friends who live in the same condo complex where we usually stay but we came with our three children and needed extra space. It was the first time for our kids aged 22, 20 and 14 to be in Hawaii and they were absolutly thrilled. Our favorite places are in the North Shore of Oahu as we do not like the big city crush of Honolulu. The kids loved Matsumoto shaved ice in Haliewa and the pineapple ice cream at Dole Plantation. As there were five of us staying in the condo, it was very economical as compared with trying to cram five into a hotel room or having to rent two units to accomodate everybody. Our Hawaiian friend made great use of the habachi, cooking us some very tasty meals and we walked the beaches at Turtle Bay searching for puka shells. We have recommended many people to search out the estates at Turtle Bay if they are thinking of going to Hawaii and we would not hesitate to use the condos if we are travelling with more people.
The internet did not work, that was very disappointing smoke alarm battery went off all night, light bulbs need changing
If the air conditioning system worked well, it would have been perfect. But because it did not, I wouldn't stay there again. The a/c units are in each bedroom blowing directly at the pillow of a bed, unable to move or adjust the direction. Therefore, the person in that bed either freezes their head or the rest of the room stays hot. Sorry, I wish I could have given a good review.
These are window auir conditioners and they are placed in the only possible area of the room where they can be properly installed.
