Customer Review Summary
Table service draws the most praise, with diners repeatedly singling out a server who explained the menu, made drink recommendations and checked in without rushing the table. One family said a nut allergy was handled well, and those on the bottomless brunch and bottomless dinner felt they got their money's worth. Close behind is the food: the jerk chicken with rice and peas and sweet plantains, plus salmon, beef and vegan curry, all described as delicious. Cocktails also earn notice, including the refreshing Raspberry Reggae, the light Cherry Sling, a Reggae Rum Punch with a strong kick behind mango notes, and a fresh Bohemia Mojito. One reviewer who liked the staff still disliked the changes to the menu. Another was unhappy that a Monday poetry night was not advertised for a friend's birthday outing, and left upset after an unwelcome exchange with a manager at the bar. Several say they will return, and one notes that each cocktail sold supports baby sea turtle protection.

“I had a lovely experience! Ashleigh was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, providing excellent service throughout. The food was delicious, and everything was presented beautifully. Thank you, Ashleigh, for making the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend!”

“Absolute AWFUL experience from the so called “pedro” who is the apparent so called manager. We have planned 2 weeks ago to come to Crawley for our best friends birthday. There was a poetry night on that night in which it WAS NOT ADVERTISED at all! With pictures proven. We spent 5 minutes at the bar, before we could even get a drink. Talking normally, giggling as normal girls do. All of a sudden we get this “pedro” come one to us saying that one of our girls is drunk (two drinks in for a Monday night at 20:30), coming over very very aggressive. We are very respectful girls with respectful jobs and understand however if this was public knowledge we would completely avoid for our friends birthday! The way he came over was very scary for 3 girls and saw absolute anger in his eyes. Please avoid at all times to avoid this horrible man. Please state I feel like getting police involved as I do have pictures of this am and false advertisement”

“What a great dining experience this was! The food was amazing.. we had salmon, beef and vegan curry & sides, all dishes were delicious. Maryanne was brilliant, made us feel so welcome…best service we’ve had in years! Highly recommended.”

“I’ll tell you what, service from start to finish was absolutely amazing. All the staff that we spoke too were brilliant, welcoming and a good laugh but a special mention for Maryanne, who was our main server and we absolutely LOVED her! We had the bottomless dinner thing and the way she was completely honest whilst recommending spot on dishes with a good analysis of the beverages alike, we were genuinely amazed. Safe to say I left a tip and we’re literally planning on coming here again! Thank you so much for your kind service and warm smile and attitude, we really appreciated it and we’ll definitely be back and also recommend to any newcomers who aren’t already aware of this venue! Thank you again Maryanne!!!”

“Maryanne at Turtle Bay Crawley gave us the best experience when dining. She is so lovely, lively and kind ensuring our food was not only delicious ( it was) but also accommodated to our needs perfectly, including a nut allergy which she dealt with fabulously. Thankyou Maryanne we will definitely be returning Xx”
