Reviews for Turtle Inn
Memorable wonderful holiday
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Loved, loved, loved our experience. We didn't have great weather - a few rainy days - but our little cottage with its own pool was great. The food in the restaurants were excellent and the service was exceptional. It was great having the scuba options literally across the street. Highly recommend and cannot wait to return.

Family Dive vacation
A beautiful resort with flora and plants and vegetation. The grounds and staff are exceptional. It's a gorgeous resort on a very small peninsula. It's perfect for relaxing by the pool, taking in spa treatments or even adventures into the jungle. It's not a location for laying on a sandy beach and playing in the ocean. Sargassum has taken away this type of activity in Placencia. The resort has done a very nice job of protecting against sargassum, but it's impossible to remove it altogether.

Fantastic stay at Turtle Inn
We always knew we'd come back to Turtle Inn (almost extended our trip on the final day last time)! It's a magical place that feels like a movie set, everything so well thought out and beautifully designed. This time we stayed in the Sofia beach house and Starfish cottage with our entire family. Gorgeous all around. We wanted for nothing. The butler assigned to the beach house, Ronnie, was a true gem. He made our experience invaluable and had excellent ideas for our stay we didn't even think of! He took such good care of us, truly made everything stress free. We can't wait to go back.

WOW!
This was the absolute perfect family vacation! We had 3 generations ranging in ages 2-70 with lots of incredible group experiences. The staff are all so incredibly warm, welcoming and the accommodations are superb. Each experience---cave tubing, snorkeling, fishing, zipline, cooking class, horseback riding was truly memorable and the staff so competent. Food was truly delicious! We would highly, highly recommend you to experience this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Best staff in the business
I have never had a better stay at a hotel. The staff are the best in the business. I wanted to give a special shout out to Jonathan, Jimmy, and Johnny “Cash”. They made us feel like family and made sure our drinks and plates were never empty. I cannot recommend Turtle Inn enough.
