Turtle Bay Lobby Lounge

Love, love, love their lattes at the Lobby Lounge at Turtle Bay Resort. The Baristas are fantastic too! Always making sure that each guests get the right cup o’ joe in the morning and afternoon. The pastries are also delicious and they even serve vegan muffins too. Make sure when you go for your drink of choice to smile and be patient if there’s a line. They only want to make each drink to that particular customer’s liking.

They have the best latte’s!!! Did I mention that they have the sweetest barista’s that just cheer up your day. I know all of them by name. A few of my favs Jessica, Marie, Tina, Virginia, Kyra and Martin. They are so accommodating for my special requests I have sometimes and I always leave with something delicious.
Today for example I come to get a custom latte and Jessica adds in a few things (of course asking me first if it’s ok). A little bit of this and that and WAH-​LAH! Oh oh it’s MAGIC you know I know I’m going to have a good day after leaving drink in hand. I don’t care what anyone else says this is my fav coffee stop!!!

Staying at this hotel and ordered a large (choice was small or large) cappuccino. The cup was about size of Starbucks grande. It was $ 5.75 and I’m LUCKY a if it was half full! Extreme rip off!
I think the guy was offended I didn’t leave a tip but I could tell when he handed it to me it was basically empty!

Self serve food selection for breakfast, it tasted ok, seemed fresh, but the line was sooooo looooong because people ordered coffee and espresso, etc. Ridiculous at times.
We also had a beer here one evening, nothing special, ok place to grab a drink while you wait for your table or something.

Love this place. Will write more later.

Hung out at Turtle Bay’s lobby lounge on two separate occasions during our staycation at the hotel. This is a superb spot to hang out during the day because of the gorgeous floor to ceiling windows and view that over look the beach. There are many seating areas so you can hang out solo, as a couple or a big family. I actually saw a lot of families with small children hanging out and I thought that was great.
The first time we visited the lobby lounge was right before a big dinner and we just wanted a cocktail. We both got a glass of their house cabernet and my recommendation would be to skip it. It was beyond awful and tasted like grape juice. The very friendly woman who waited on us told us it was Kendall Jackson and I don’t think that’s what it was. Even Kendall Jackson is better than that wine. Get a cocktail or a beer or spend the money on a better wine.
The second time I had dinner at the lobby lounge with friends because we didn’t feel like eating a buffet and it was storming so walking to Lei Lei’s felt like it was more effort than it was worth. This time around our waitress, who was the same lady that had waited on us the night before, wasn’t nearly as friendly. I almost wanted to ask her what was up because it was such a difference in attitude. I honestly think she must have just been having a bad night or something, and we all have our bad days. This time we ordered a burger and fries for $ 18 and it was delicious! The burger was so moist and the portion size was great. Yes, $ 18 seems pricey for a burger and fries, but it is a resort and you are paying vacation prices. I thought it was worth it seeing that we didn’t need to leave the hotel to drive into Haleiwa.
Although I didn’t hang out in the morning you can get coffee, pastries and take out salad as well during the day. I perused the salads and they didn’t seem like a better option than my wonderful burger. Be sure to enjoy the view and have a relaxing vacation!

Two stars, pretty much just for the view.
The caffeine is functional — don’t expect artistry. Stick with the brewed coffee; it tastes like they only put one shot of espresso in a 12-​oz latte, for four dollars. I came here to get coffee after the in-​room Keurig coffee and UHT half-​and-​half tasted terrible; this was only a minor improvement. You’re a captive audience on the resort, though. There is a real opportunity here to showcase some local coffees or otherwise provide a more gourmet coffee experience, and they’re not taking advantage of it.
Muffins and other breakfast pastries overpriced, but the grab-​and-​go is convenient. We prefer to spend a little more on the continental breakfast buffet, get more variety, and then have a late lunch or early dinner. Some chilled juices and waters, too. Service was fast for a Sunday late-​morning.

Most breath taking resort lobby. Love the northshore of Hawaii.

Food & beverages are great. A little pricey, but hey, what can you expect from resort hotels. Enjoy!
