8/10 Good
"Had a fantastic stay at Turtle Beach. The room was clean, but very hard beds. The food was varied with multiple options for every meal. The staff was friendly and helpful, but it was frustrating the number that asked about jobs in Canada and offering private tours. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others"
