I stayed for a week in January at the Turtle Bay Hilton. It's currently undergoing renovations, so I can certainly understand the comments about its past shabbiness. It's biggest asset is the peace and quiet and beauty of North Shore. Plus it's easy to get a good rate (we even used UA 50%-off hotel certs) and the rooms were adequate and quite large. It's a spectacular location and the grounds are very pretty. Perfect spot for watching the sun sink into the sea whilst sipping innumerable pina coladas. ;D
