Turtle Cove is a lodge, not a programmed retreat. Nothing on the page describes a fixed weekly schedule of classes, so what you do each day is up to you: walk to the beaches, surf at Tofinho Point, or stay in the gardens. The property has 12 chalets, plus dormitory beds and camping facilities, and has been set up as self-catering, so guests cook for themselves rather than eating from a set menu.

The grounds are described as lush palm-tree gardens, deliberately set away from the buzz of Tofo Beach. The village of Tofo and the surfer's haven of Tofinho Point are both within walking distance.

Groups are the other side of the business. The lodge is open for retreats, festivals and workshops, and catering can be arranged on request during those events. Activities the lodge lists for group bookings include daily yoga, a Temascal (sweat lodge), women's circles, storytelling and cultural experiences. These are arranged with the lodge for a group, not offered as a drop-in timetable for individual guests.

The lodge also welcomes long-term stays, naming digital nomads and similar travellers looking for a base rather than a holiday week. It describes itself as family-friendly.

The page does not name instructors, give a sample schedule, or list prices, room rates or dates. Those details would need to come from the lodge directly.
