First the good stuff: The condos are clean and nice, with good views overlooking the lake and all necessary amenities. The food at the local restaurants is good, both on the property and in town. (Pattis is especially good - you can walk right in if you sit on the "Bills" side.) The golf carts are reasonably priced and a great way to get around, as well as a thrill for young ones. But there is bad as well: The condos need some maintenance work done - our unit needs its doors rehung, and we were borderline to being unable to latch one of its outer doors with the deadbolt. The service at the on property restaurants is pretty bad, from servers that are inattentive to one that was just downright unfriendly. (Again, Pattis is different, and the service there was good.) Further, the one swimming pool we went to (outdoor) was in disrepair, with a waterslide that had two posts rusted away. Where one of those posts had been was a metal bolt sticking out of the ground where some kid could have stepped on it and gotten hurt. And worst of all, the beach they advertise is a disaster. We found beer bottles in the water (fortunately unbroken), glass and bottle caps on the beach, and several fish carcasses, including one that was picked completely clean and was just a skeleton. They clearly dont police their beach, either to enforce the no glass rules or to clean up refuse. It is dangerous. The list of bad things is sad, because the area is beautiful and they could do a lot more with this resort if they put in the proper upkeep. We wont be returning until that happens though.

CROOKS! I am not normally one to blast a person or business just because my expectations werent met but this was an experience that must be shared. I called for a quote to winterize my boat and received a price well below others Id received. When I called to ask if it was ready for pick up, I was presented with a bill over twice the amount originally quoted. The man said "well we have to charge for labor". NO KIDDING? The original quote was not said to be "materials only" nor had I in any way given the man a reason to think that my request for a materials only quote. I respectfully haggled with him a bit as I was shocked at the cost. He cut the labor portion in half to "make me happy" and I went and picked up the boat. The boat was then stored on my property securely yet when I filled it up with fuel the first time out this spring, the gas tank was completely empty. No one siphoned the gas out of my boat while store at my property. Two vehicles without locking gas caps were never bothered and misc. tools and expensive equipment that were exposed went untouched. I believe STRONGLY that they took my gas because they had to adjust my bill. I have friends who warned my not to use them claiming theyre dishonest. I went anyway because of their quote. Ill never use them again and will tell everyone I know about this experience.

Condo was descent.. Temp membership to cyc was cool but dinner was not ip to par they gave us horrible service like we were lower class. Took literally an hour and a half after we were done eating to het our check ..and even then it was messed up..uuugh dont get me started. Otherwise turtle bay was a good experience.. Just dont waste youre time or money at the Commonwealth Yacht Club...Dockers was great. And Arbys is only like 6.1 miles away. Lol but seriously.

GTB is good at a lot of things, but restaurants and food is NOT one of them. Whether its busy or not, the service is still the same: slow. Going to a regular restaurant and waiting over an hour for food wouldnt be acceptable in a normal situation. The insult is we get to pay a membership for this awesome service. If youre looking to go hang out with friends and do some serious catching up because you have some time to kill, then this is your place.

The food and many of the staff were very attentive. However, be careful in getting your boat serviced there. Extra labor hours were added to the bill after we agreed to the amount - I was present and assisting with the work performed. When trying to reach the harbor master to discuss the overcharge via email - twice over the course of a month - there was no reply. I would not return for boat repairs unless absolutely necessary.

We stopped in to see the replica ships the Nina and Pinta while they were docked at Green Turtle Bay Resort. The ships were fine, much smaller than most people would think, and while it was easy to find, I cant comment much on the conditions at Green Turtle Bay. The shop was open but as a sign on the door directed me to a porta potty across the road, I chose not to look in the shop.

We have a few friends that rent boat slips at the Marina. We have always enjoyed our time at Geen Turtle Bay hanging. They have nice boats docks. They are clean and maintained. The restaurant is very good and the gift shop has a large variety of items from shoes, clothing, Childrens clothing, decor, boating items, serving plates, glaswear, etc. I would recommend Green Turtle Bay.

We held a wedding there, my wife and I loved it. Wonderful people to work with very good for a medium to large wedding. We also rented a condo for the night after for a small party and they were very nice recommended them to many people and LOVED the bed.

Amazing accurate, life sized! and fully functioning replicas of the Nina and the Pinta. Both ships are manned with full crews, and sail approximately 8-10 thousand miles per year. Great for family fun, school trips, etc.

Visited the Resort on the Niña and Pinta replica ships. The staff at GTB was very friendly and accommodating with whatever we needed. Everyone is more than ready to come back, hopefully next year.

Stopped by to see the Nina and Pinta a few days ago and loved the ships and the crews, very informative. The parking area was horrible, no place to turn around to get out and very small.

Resort seems to be a nice destination with rooms, eating from formal to picnic type and access to water via a lake and pool. Dock area has plenty to see and options as to watercraft.

We rented a condo for two nights and loved it! We were able to bring our dog. We really enjoyed hanging out on the balcony, enjoying the views while our dog relaxed with us.

Went here to see the replicas of two Christopher Columbus ships. Looks like a decent sized marina but cant say much about the experience with any boating or sailing.

Great place to visit, my in-laws stay there most of the year and we were just visiting, but there is so much offered there I almost would like to move there myself.

Main floor was musty and a/c didnt reach upstairs well, but the condo was nice and the area is fun to put around in the rental golf carts.
