Breakfast
The breakfast at Turtle Cove Beach Resort - Adults Only LGBTQIA & Allies has received mixed reviews from guests. While some express disappointment at the lack of variety or quality, others appreciate the convenience and friendliness of the staff. Unfortunately, some guests missed out on breakfast altogether due to a miscommunication about the starting time.

However, others found the continental breakfast to be all they needed to start their day and appreciated being able to make it themselves. While there is room for improvement, the breakfast at Turtle Cove Beach Resort is still a decent option for those looking for a quick and easy meal before starting their day of sun and relaxation.
Dinner
Turtle Cove Beach Resort offers a unique dining experience for their guests. The set up with large tables enables single travelers to meet people much easier, which is a great way to socialize during your stay. The restaurant's food is fantastic and cooked very well, the evening meals were very good and the service is friendly and helpful. While some guests thought that the dinner menu was a bit limiting in the number of dishes available or that the quality was average at best, the last dinner was good. Inconsistency in cooking is a common issue in this hotel. The food and drinks offering is of a 3-star standard and the menu and wine list are quite limited and overpriced, which seemed to be a common discussion point. However, considering the closest place to eat is about 20 min drive away, the on-site dining at Turtle Cove Beach Resort is definitely still a convenient and enjoyable option.
