As usual the rooms were very clean and the staff so very friendly and welcomed us back as longtime friends, which we are. The continental breakfasts were fresh and very well presented and the meals were up to standard so much so that we didn't venture away from Little Poly for meals.

We had a delightful stay at Little Polynesian Resort. First up - the resort itself is very clean and comfortable and sits in the landscape nicely. Secondly the resort sits in Paradise...the view over the lagoon and the breaking waves on the reef beyond are gorgeous...not to mention the sunsets whilst you enjoy your evening meal and/or a cocktail. The staff are also very welcoming, polite, cheerful and helpful. We would stay again should we be lucky enough to return.

Unbelievable service — Florence and the staff made us feel like family, always greeting us by name (and even with hugs!). Our beachfront bungalow was spotless and comfortable with stunning views. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the location right on the beach is perfect. Highly recommend renting a car to explore, but it’s hard to leave this special place. Truly unforgettable!

It’s a great hotel, it is on the opposite part of the island to the main town so it is generally quieter. It is quite a small hotel, but very nice. It also has its own beach/lagoon area for swimming etc
