Turtle bay Resort looks very nice.
We spent lots of time snorkelling as the kids enjoyed it but we stayed in a private house instead.

My brother stayed there 6 months ago with 6 others and 3 kids on a touch footy trip ..he loved it ...plenty to do for the kids and entertainment at night ....good bar ,he said .
Wave out front is not consistent, and when breaking not the best. You'll be jumping in the car to go surf.
Now this house is on one of the nicest north shore beaches. Waves all the time steps from the house, some of the more secluded breaks.
Stayed last year with the wife (no kids), loved it.
The wave on the pool side was very consistent - broke every day we were there and my wife could sit by the pool with a cocktail and watch!
'Disco's' on the East side of the resort was also really good too, although its a bit more of a deeper water, sketchier feeling break out there by yourself!
Certainly depends on the swell direction & strength at the time you are there, but if it wasnt for wanting to tick places like Pipe & Rocky Point off the bucket list I would have been really happy with just surfing those two right at the resort.
Stayed there in Oct 2013 and had a blast. Surf out the front was consistent with a number of take off zones. Was too big on a couple of days. 1st day hired a Lopez sup from board shop located there but plastic and aluminium hire paddle snapped after 5 waves!!As such rode a hired a different longboard each day. So take your own paddle.
Lots of activities tennis golf and we hired pushbikes and rode down to Waimea park. You can snorkel at a few spots along that strip. I found food good and a few choices within resort fine but remember to add gratuity. Resort pool great and you cant beat the sunset poolside drink watching over the point break.
Room was excellent looked over surf.
So a big tick from me and I hope to go back in the next year or 3.
Go onto vrbo and find a house on the waterfront, cheaper and a lot nicer for families.
Thousands of houses up on the nth shore.
thanks all for the info…much appreciated. Either Hawaii or japan is the decision to be made.
