Rooms were clean and tidy. Staff went out of their way to resolve a couple of minor issues (out of their control). Bar is only open from 4pm daily. We were in rooms 1,2 and 3 and the rooms above were quite noisy

Laid back perfection
A truly superb resort with wonderful staff, a great location and a laid-back vibe! We couldn’t have picked better snd it was much better value than some of the big resorts. The rooms were great and had everything we wanted - you could cook a three course meal if you really needed - there was a great breakfast included and an excellent restaurant. The bar and the beach were great for lazing! Advice from the front desk was spot on - big thumbs up to Anita! And because we had some damage left from a previous guest owner Paul was on it in a flash! We would happily go back any time!

At this time of the year totally perfect for rest and relaxation. The best room with balcony overlooking the trees and watch the waves roll in. Afternoons in the water and then out in time for Happy Hour! Food and cocktails outstanding and the gem of this place is the staff they are the 'icing on the cake' so to speak. We will definitely return and next time for longer.

I travelled with the whole fam (4x adults) We had a late flight so we arrived in the property almost midnight. We checked-in in our room (2bedroom suites) with no issues at all as prior instructions was given clearly ahead of time. Everyone’s first impression was “Wow!” Our room was so spacious and most of all clean and comfortable. We would have given it 5 stars, however, 1 room had no A/C that everyone has to sleep in one room (luckily the bed is big enough for 4 of us). Otherwise, it felt like a home away from home. Kudos to the staff for excellent service.

Very decent sized rooms, excellent sized full fridge to fit in all your food and beverages in our poolside studio room. We had good privacy on our balcony area from the pool with the plant foliage between us. Complimentary breakfast was awesome with fresh fruits, toast with toppings fresh juice water tea coffee etc. And the hot breakfast options off the menu was very nice and generous sizing. The beach had a small lovely sandy area to bathe which we really enjoyed if you want to vege out in the water. (Would be cramped if 5 or more people in the area). Great central location to town and the lovely southern beaches around the Rarotongan resort and Titikavika beaches. Staff at the resort super friendly. Would happily stay there again.

We loved the privacy. We loved that there was a restaurant and bar right on the beachfront - the food was delicious. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. We loved the easy access to the beach and being able to walk from our room down to the beach to swim. The foot bowl and extra floor towels for cleaning sandy feet were great too. We would definitely choose to stay here again!
