Turtle Cove Beach Resort

Turtle Cove Beach Resort is, without question, a beautiful venue. The location is stunning, the beach is incredible, and the facilities themselves are well maintained. The staff, mostly backpackers, were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and respectful throughout our stay. However, the overall experience was not what we expected, and that comes down largely to the culture and clientele. Within 10 minutes of arriving, we were propositioned in the spa, which we politely declined. While we fully respect that others may be seeking that kind of experience, it quickly became apparent that this is a very open, sexually charged environment. As a monogamous couple simply looking to relax, enjoy the beach, and unwind in a nude-friendly setting, we felt out of place almost immediately. There was a noticeable undertone that participation in the “extra-curricular” side of the venue was expected. After booking, we also received multiple messages about “how we like to party,” which reinforced that this isn’t just a passive aspect of the environment, it’s a defining feature. The host was personable on the surface, but the interactions often felt performative and, at times, uncomfortable. There was a strong focus on highlighting and encouraging certain dynamics within the guest mix, including openly discussing who might be willing to participate given enough alcohol or incentive. That crossed a line for us. To be clear, the venue itself didn’t create our discomfort, the behaviour of the clientele and the culture that seems to be encouraged did. In summary: if you are specifically looking for a sexually open, swinger-friendly environment, this may be exactly what you want. But if you’re a couple seeking a relaxing, respectful, clothing-optional escape without that pressure, this is probably not the right fit. For us, the setting was beautiful, but the experience was not one we would repeat.
