Sub par service and amenities!
The resort is located in a very pretty island but sadly they can’t provide with the amenities and service that is required of a resort charging the rate for a luxury resort. I stayed here for my honeymoon and their WiFi never worked. The coffee maker and other equipment in the room are just for decoration so don’t expect them to work. The hair dryer didn’t work. The TV had parental lock password. The staff had no clue about how to help us with these matters and acted surprised when we were asking for help as if it is not their job and we were asking for too much. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are expecting standard services.

The property and room were clean but both headboards in our room were broken and not attached to the beds so when we moved at night they would bang against the wall. I told the front desk the next morning and the girl said someone would fix them that day. The cleaning staff came later and said no one was there to fix them and they were aware of the broken headboards but couldn’t fix them. Huh? There was also a substance in the tub that didn’t look healthy so I tried to clean it myself. The cleaning staff said it was glue and they couldn’t clean it either. Again, huh? What about a putty knife? We wanted to try the resort restaurant on our last evening there since we heard the lobster ravioli was so good. We live in Naples, Florida where dining out isn’t cheap but this was ridiculous. No bread was served, no salad with your $32 meal. We received 4 ravioli and a bill for $140 for three meals (one was tacos). Their mandatory 15% gratuity which consisted of the waitress brining us one plate of food, and a VAT tax by the government really pushed up the bill. We always tip 18% at least but this whole meal was ridiculously expensive. My son commented on how he was still hungry. I had to agree. We left the resort and went to town to find something else to eat. I’ve never had such a crazy experience in any restaurant.

Response from Green Turtle Club Management on 29 May 2019
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We have been able to address the glue mark on the bath tub as well as the movement of the headboard and we appreciate you bringing both to our attention so that our club rooms remain in pristine condition. The Lobster Ravioli dish has been our number one selling dinner entree for three years running now and is consistently reviewed as one of the best dishes in Abaco. The pasta is made from scratch in our kitchen daily and hand stuffed with fresh lobster that is speared by local fishermen. We pay great attention to detail of the quality and freshness when it comes to our menu items and for that reason we must charge $32 for this menu item in order to ensure the highest standards are met even in such a remote location. Thank you for visiting our out island location and we hope despite your concerns you enjoyed a wonderful vacation together on Green Turtle Cay!

The hotel is very comfortable and clean and maintained pretty well with lots of character. The staff is friendly and there are options for those that love the beach or boating and a great option to relax as well. The small town nearby is very quaint. A good option for us was staying at the property for a short period of time. There are food options at the hotel and in the nearby town.

Beautiful Area, Friendly Staff
The grounds are beautiful. The staff was always helpful and friendly. The food and drink were delicious. The only negative was roosters crowing BEFORE dawn daily. There is a place to feed the turtles around the corner at Coco Bay. I would have preferred to have a two bedroom. One room was tough with two teenagers. I did not realize you could book a different room. I would certainly return.

Awesome Trip to GTC!!!
Stayed in GTC the last 6 days and had an amazing time! Rented golf cart and boat with ease. Visited New Plymouth several times over the trip and a must is Miss Emily's for the Goombay Smash and Pineapples Restaurant for the food and the view and of course Caroline (the dog..so cute!!!) Overall would definitely recommend for relaxing and fun!

You'LL need a goal cart for sure
First night bed felt comfortable, second night it killed my back. Appears there is a 5 inch foam on top of regular mattress. Found human hair in the Styrofoam coffee cups in room, probably NOT a good idea to have blower dryer within 2 feet of coffeemaker. Lobby Staff not overly friendly. Housekeeping staff were very nice, and helpful, as were the outside ground keeping staff, and transport people. Ate dinner in club first night, seated in terrible table in the wind outside, and needed to be moved. Altho' the fish and chips dinner was delicious! Linen in room very pretty, and room appears newly renovated, painted.

We arrived early and we were still met from the water taxi. We had our golf cart within 5 minutes of our arrival and everything was made very easy for us. There is lots of sealife just off the dock and we walked along it everyday. Its a relax area and the children were made very welcome.

Green Turtle Luxury not so much for fishing
We stayed for four nights. The room needed better lighting. We kept our boat at the marina. It was a bit inconvenient because the room was not that close to the docks. Going from the boat to the room you either had to walk thru the dinning area or walk down some steps to the beach to get to the room. Carrying fishing and boating supplies thru the sand to and from the room was difficult and many times we ended up walking thru the dinning area. You can tell the staff was not too happy about that. The atmosphere is beautiful and the grounds were well kept. We felt it was a bit too fancy for a fishing & diving excursion.

Peaceful and Beautiful
This resort is so tranquil and beautiful! It's kind of spread out, so a golf cart rental is a necessity if you're planning on exploring this gorgeous little island. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is top shelf, but at a mix of prices sure to make anyone happy. The marina appears to be very well appointed, and there are a ton of activities available. The only big complaint I had was that there was so little hot water that you couldn't take a warm shower. Probably not much of an issue in the summer, but kind of chilly still in early May.

Green Turtle Stay
We chose this resort based upon Trip Advisor ratings and our need for a totally relaxing vacation. We flew into Marsh Harbour from Orlando which took just over an hour. The cab to the ferry terminal at Treasure Cay took 30 minutes and cost $85. Because our plane was late, we missed the last ferry at 5pm but there were enough people to pay for an extra run at a reasonable $15. The resort is beautiful as are the rooms. We were on the point - only a few minutes walk from reception and the restaurant, bar and shop. Unless you want to stay in your room or on the small beach/marina, rent a golf cart. These are a reasonable $50/day and you can get anywhere on this 1mile by 3 mile island. The beaches are gorgeous and when we went in May, deserted, Cocoa Bay is only a few minutes from the resort and cant be beaten. Meals at the resort and in nearby New Plymouth are excellent. In most cases fresh and always very well presented. Sea food in the shape of Conch, Lobster, shrimp and grouper is abundant and I should mention MacIntosh, Harveys and Pineapples as being particular standouts, Prices are relatively high on the Cay as they are in most of the Bahamas but as they have to pay a 52% import tax on everything coming in, it is not surprising. Budget $30 each for a main meal and get over it. The locals pay high prices as well - even at the three or four grocery stores on the Cay. A week was just long enough here for total relaxation just don't go if you are looking for nightlife..

Great location, pity about the hotel...
We were taken by Jeep to a room that was a 20 minute walk, in pouring rain via a rutted, unlit path through the forest, from the main hotel. There was no telephone, the TV didn't work and there was no information about how to get back to the main hotel! The management seemed surprised that we were unhappy with the original room, and suggested that we rent a golf cart (at $50/day) to get back and forth to the dining room and pool! After complaining, we were moved to a room nearer to the main hotel which was OK.The food was over-priced and quite indifferent. The staff were generally friendly but unreliable -- the porter we requested take our bags didn't turn up, and we almost missed the ferry.

We went to Green Turtle Cay for a combination beach and bone fishing vacation. The hotel is very nice, the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant (the 'fine dining' options each night) was outstanding and MUCH better than we anticipated. The hotel has WIFI which is helpful as some mobile phones carriers (Verizon for sure) have NO coverage on Abaco. The hotel has a Vonage phone you can use in a pinch. Overall, we would definitely recommend Green TurtleClub for a relaxing vacation.

Great hotel if you are looking for a comfortable yet authentic out island experience. everyone looking for comfortable beautiful place to relax and enjoy the multiple activities offered there in a pristine natural environment and with friendly locals will have a great time but beware anyone looking for the thrill of casino and/or lively nightlife should definitely avoid this place and probably most of the out islands Great for fishing, diving and yachting enthusiasts but also for couples or family looking for gorgeous outdoors and comfortable accommodation.

Huricane Irene hit 8 weeks before our stay but our rooms were perfectly clean and well appointed. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. On the grounds, the only sign of the storm were the trees and bushes were trimmed back. The food in the restaurant was excelent and appeared to be lacking nothing. The staff was knowlegeable regarding the hotel as well as the island. Bearing in mind that this is a cay next to an island, our stay was wonderful.

The Green Turtle Hotel on Abaco is fairly isolated
The hotel is a comfortable and friendly hotel, but it is too isolated if you need to stay in touch with the outside. The drive from Marsh Harbour airport is about 45 minutes and quite expensive. The surprise was that the hotel is on a small island, which is reached by a ferry boat that runs at certain times. If your schedule does not accommodate the ferry times, the cost is quite high to charter the ferry for yourself. There are no phones in the rooms and the internet is only by WiFi, which was very unreliable. It's a very pretty marina and a nice get away, but not for anyone that needs to be in touch.

Stället visade sig vara lika idylliskt som vi läst om i förväg. Personalen var alltid vänlig, maten enormt god och läget exemplariskt. Tänk att kunna kliva av och på den lilla färjebåten vid bryggan, 10 meter från receptionen! Vi såg kolibrier på hotellområdet och beskådade flygande papegojor från solstolen. Det var promenadavstånd till fantastiska stränder och även det fåtal villor som fanns var trevliga att promenera förbi. Det tog mindre än en kvart att köra in till New Plymouth med golfbil och den lilla staden var en upplevelse! Det enda vi beklagade var att det inte fanns någon underhållning på vårt hotell som utlovats och att en av restaurangerna på hotellet var stängd, det berodde på att det var januari och lågsäsong, men hade inte framgått i texterna vi läst i förväg.

Wundervolle kleine Bahamas-Insel
Wir (3 Freunde) sind bereits das 4. Mal mit einer Cessna aus Florida auf die Bahamas geflogen. Diesmal haben wir das Angebot vom Green Turtle Club kurzfristig gebucht. Obwohl für die Bahamas-Verhältnisse erstaunlich günstig, war es absolut klasse: Nicht überlaufen, keine Snobs, super nette Zimmer direkt am Meer, die Insel leicht zu erkunden mit Golfkart oder zu Fuß. Auch das Tauchen mit der eigenen Basis war fantastisch. Alles in Allem sehr zu empfehlen!
