Turtle Cove Beach Resort - Adults Only Lgbtqia & Allies

Just back from another magical stay at Turtle Cove, and I can honestly say it remains one of the most special places on earth. The moment you arrive, the stress of the outside world simply melts away. There are so few places left where you can truly relax, be yourself, and connect with like-minded people in such a welcoming, private and safe environment. Turtle Cove is all of this. The team here always go above and beyond. They’re not only warm and hospitable but also have a wonderful way of bringing everyone together, creating such a friendly and communal atmosphere. I had wondered if the recent changes might affect the shared dining experience, but it’s actually better than ever. Meals feel like family gatherings, with guests from all around the world coming together, sharing stories, and forging friendships. Turtle Cove really is our little slice of paradise, and it’s so important that we continue to support it so it stays that way for years to come. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I’m already counting down the days until my next visit.

Felt white lotus - ish, in the best possible way. Loved the whole resort, going to sleep to the sound of crashing waves and with the moon reflecting on the coral sea. I stayed in cheapest room and even this was fabulous. Food brilliant and bar staff amazing and friendly. A perfect place to stay (except no wifi/phone service).

If you are after an inclusive LGBT+ resort to stay in that offers beautiful food, stunning beach views and wonderful friendly staff then Turtle Cove is for you. We opted for a beachfront apartment and the extra cost is so worth it, waking up to the Pacific Ocean with palm trees and lush gardens was to die for. Jules and Nathan were amazing hosts as well as Tuile and Georgia who were exceptional ! We also had the pleasure of sampling Chef Jack's food which was divine. Considering we were among the first guests to check in to Turtle Cove after Cyclone Jasper we were blown away (pardon the pun) by everything. Beautiful resort, delicious food and stunning nature...what isn't to love. The staff were simply amazing, could not have done enough for us. Side note- Turtle Cove is situated in the Rainforest so nature will be there in abundance so be sure to be at ease with all things critters because, after all, you are holidaying in their natural habitat.

Amazing time, with all that happened with the Cyclone, Julian, Nathan and the team went above and beyond to make it work, and give us the best experience ever. The resort is stunning, food and drinks delish. New years was so much fun, and we had a blast. Honestly this Queer space is so inclusive and 1 of a kind in Australia. Honestly if you want to have the best time ever, with people that treat you like family, book! This resort has it all 🌈

The resort was fantastic. Clean amenities, friendly and welcoming staff who made sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable. Food was excellent and expertly served. Stunning views from the room and the room we stayed in was comfortable and clean. The management team of Nathan and Jules were very friendly, funny and personable. It was one of the best stays we had and will be returning to relax and enjoy the best resort experience in Australia. Having a safe place that is both peaceful and respectful to cultural safety and broad diversity, where LGBTQI+B/S can be themselves is of such great value and we commend Nathan and Jules for providing this space. 10/10 from us, without hesitation. Thanks for everything! - Dan and Mikey

Moth-riddled curtains. No shower walls that left the bathroom flooded each time you showered. Slow service in the restaurant and prices are very high for mains. Staff friendly but require a great deal more training. Local wildlife are borderline pests….getting precariously close whenever food is around. Rooms were not hygenically clean…filthy under beds and above eye level. Found a couple Huntsman near and around the bathroom.
