Turtle Bay Alea. Price drop October-November open dates.

Great location for North Shore area as long as you have a car. Units are older (probably built in mid 1970s) but sufficiently updated where it counts on the inside. They are coming into their vintage charm years so we didn't mind. Landscaping around the units was beautiful and well maintained. Some of the folding and sliding doors are showing their age and rickety to open but the place accommodated our party of 6 perfectly. AC and fans were helpful. Kitchen was well set up, but the drying rack was designed by someone who has never washed dishes before and was an awkward arrangement. Still, it got the job done and we were grateful for the space to save money on eating out every meal of the day. TV entertainment was crucial for our younger crew in the middle of the day with a UV index of 10 outside (yikes) and the streaming services were confusing with 3 different TV remotes, 2 of which did nothing. Two calls to their help line didn't prove helpful. A million dollar business idea for someone who can streamline the streaming service modalities or normalize a simplified 6 button TV remote to replace the current 50-button remote insanity. Excellent proximity to the Ritz-Carlton beach which we went to often. Property pools weren't blingy nor spectacular but our kids felt differently- they loved them. All they needed was clean water to swim in without sand, and that's exactly what we got. Cabana space was great shade for the non-swimmers. All in all it was several steps up from staying in a hotel this far from home.

Alea condo was great for my family of 5. The place layout of the condo was nice with two full bathrooms with showers. Location was wonderful since our activities were on the North Shore. I would recommend this property to friends and relatives.

Very enjoyable for the entire family.
