Turtle Bay Resort 
$$$$, North Shore
Fodor's Review:
Some 880 acres of raw natural Hawaii landscape is your playground at this resort on Oahu's North Shore. Set out on the edge of Kuilima Point, Turtle Bay has spacious guest rooms averaging nearly 500 square feet, with lanai that showcase stunning peninsula views. In winter, when the big waves roll ashore, you get a front-row seat for watching the powerful surf. The sumptuous oceanfront beach cottages come complete with Brazilian walnut floors and teak rockers on the lanai. If you prefer a vacation home, Turtle Bay's gated community, the Ocean Villas, offers three- and four-bedroom units with plenty of cushy accoutrements and a host of amenities, from private butlers to chefs to in-home spa treatments. Turtle Bay has a Hans Heidemann Surf School, horse stables, a spa, and the only 36-hole golf facility on Oahu to keep you busy. There are two swimming pools, one with an 80-foot water slide. While out exploring Turtle Bay's 12 mi of nature trails, don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself "Lost." The hit television series has been known to frequent the resort's beaches, coves, and natural forests for location filming.

True R&R on Oahu
Posted by Maritza from Milwaukee, WI on 3/8/06
Stayed here for two nights before business trip to Waikiki. Very glad that we did as this was the Hawaii that we had dreamed about visiting. Hotel was wonderful, comfortable room with ocean view, great food with ocean view and lovely walking paths. The room was very comfortable with good lights for reading, comfortable chairs on the porch for watching the waves come in and a refrig that we could put our own things in. Dinner at Ola was wonderful - be sure to make a reservation so that you can get in. You sit right on the beach but with white linen tablecloth service and wonderful food. Pricey but one of those worth it experiences.Beautiful waves on North Shore

The setting for this hotel is very impressive--huge waves right outside. In fact, sometimes they have to close some of the sidewalks due to the big waves coming up. The rooms are fine with nice lanais and very comfortable beds. Lobby could be a little cleaner (carpet was nasty looking). Buffet breakfast was pricey but good, same for dinner. Be warned you will have to drive a ways if you want to eat anywhere else. The pool is pretty small for a resort this size so very crowded. However, there are lots of walking paths and outside is otherwise excellent. Next time I think I would splurge for one of the beach front suites.
