Room was perfect for a couple. Clean and spacious. Great view of the lagoon. Facilities were good including own kitchen and shared resort pool. Only a 25 min walk to Muri which we did most days. Nearest cafe restaurant was just a 10min walk away.

Was a great place to stay. Nice to be away from the crowds of tourists. Plenty to do with the pool, canoes etc - there is a lot more sea life in the water than further up the lagoon. Desiree was so helpful and accomodating- nothing was too much trouble. The cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Studio unit was fully equipped with all cooking utilities needed, towels and toiletries also provided, bed was comfortable and room was a great size. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with any questions. Wifi was only avaliable in the pool area. They have life jackets, snorkles, flippers and kayaks you are able to use, and every unit has an outdoor shower to rinse off under. Lovely place to stay.

The scenery is stunning, and the accommodation is excellent. The staff are especially warm and attentive, making the stay very enjoyable. The only downside is that the air conditioning doesn’t cool properly, making the room quite hot. If this could be improved, the experience would be perfect.
