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

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.
