Aloha, friends!
I recently had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Susan Barnes and the team at The Ritz-Carlton Oʻahu, Turtle Bay, and I couldn’t wait to share my experience with you all. From our initial conversations to the exciting plans we set in motion, working with Susan has been nothing short of a dream.
A Warm Welcome to Paradise
First, let me express my gratitude for the chance to partner with such an outstanding resort. Nestled in the heart of O’ahu’s North Shore, Turtle Bay spans 1,300 acres of breathtaking beauty. It truly feels like stepping into a paradise, and I can’t think of a better place to welcome guests!
Susan sent over a proposal that highlighted not only the specially reduced room rates but also a range of exciting concessions. The attention to detail was impressive, and it really showcased how dedicated the team is to providing an unforgettable experience.
Dining and Activities Galore
One of the standout features of Turtle Bay is its dining options. With seven restaurants ranging from casual to elegant, guests can indulge in a culinary adventure at their leisure. I love the idea of room credits, allowing everyone to explore their options without the constraints of an all-inclusive package.
And let’s not forget about the activities! With over 70 onsite options—from surfing to kayaking—there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The resort truly caters to all tastes and interests, ensuring that every guest has a memorable stay.
A Fresh and Sustainable Approach
What truly impressed me about Turtle Bay is its commitment to sustainability. Following a $350+ million renovation, the resort has not only enhanced its luxurious offerings but has also embraced green initiatives that align with Hawaii’s natural beauty. Their dedication to sustainable practices, including the onsite working farm for fresh farm-to-table dining, highlights the importance of connecting guests to the land.
Meeting Spaces with a View
For those planning events, the newly transformed indoor and outdoor meeting spaces provide the perfect backdrop for any occasion. With every guest room boasting ocean views and an impressive 25,500 square feet of meeting space, the resort combines productivity with breathtaking scenery.
A Future Full of Potential
As I reflect on my collaboration with Susan, I am filled with excitement about the future. Our discussions about additional inclusions for guests highlight the resort’s commitment to creating unique experiences. Whether it’s arranging a traditional luau or offering guided tours of the stunning North Shore, there’s no shortage of ways to immerse guests in the beauty of Hawaii.
Let’s Plan Your Next Event Together!
If you’re considering a getaway or planning your company’s next meeting or incentive trip, I would love to help you make it unforgettable! Turtle Bay offers a unique blend of luxury, adventure, and stunning natural beauty that will leave a lasting impression on your team. Together, we can craft an experience that motivates, inspires, and rejuvenates your colleagues, all while enjoying the paradise that is O’ahu.
Mahalo to Susan and the Turtle Bay Team
Working with Susan and the Turtle Bay Resort has been an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism, warmth, and passion for hospitality shine through in every interaction. I am truly looking forward to our partnership and to welcoming guests to this stunning oasis.
Until next time, stay tuned for more updates from our adventures in paradise!
Mahalo nui loa,
Amy
