Gorgeous location right on the lagoon which has many fish species that are rarely seen. Loved the snorkeling! Our 2 bedroom apartment did not have ac in the rooms, just the corridor- my friend slept in the living room. Also Wi-Fi has to be purchased but I think that’s true of all hotels in the Cooks. Nice food and great views!! I’d recommend this hotel
