    The room had a fan and heat pump, with daily services. There was a fridge and a box with water. the resort provided access to snorkeling equipment and had chairs next to the beach. the dinners were beautiful and the staff was amazingly friendly and helpful.

    Felt lucky, no reason to complain.

    The staff at the resort were exceptional, particularly Trina and Apo, who made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, and we dined at the resort every night because of the attentive and friendly staff. The pool, although modest, was enjoyable, and the room was cleaned frequently during our stay. Finally, the location of the resort was perfect, with a beautiful beachfront view and stunning sunsets.

    The restaurant flooring was potentially dangerous due to uneven planks and low lighting levels in the evening. Additionally, we were disappointed to see a 3.5% surcharge for credit card payments, which seems common in Rarotonga.

    The hotel is on the beach amongst sandy tropical gardens, with rooms that have a big terrace or balcony and good A/C. The staff and service are amazing, and the breakfast included different food. Details: The hotel has a 3-hour-long happy hour with a variety of drinks on offer, and the rooms are cleaned every day except Sunday.

    No negative aspects to report, everything was great!

    We stayed at a resort located in a tranquil village and enjoyed its homely and clean rooms. the rooms had kitchenette facilities, AC, fan, TV, and insect screens. We loved that the resort was in a tropical setting leading through to the beautiful sea views. the restaurant offered good food, while the beach bar served excellent cocktails. It was just 20 minutes’ walk away from other restaurants, making it an amazing place to stay.

    We unfortunately experienced some loud banging during breakfast hours coming from some construction that was taking place, which was quite annoying.

    Nice décor and comfortable rooms. The restaurant provided tasty meals, with a good variety of dishes to choose from. It was also conveniently located near the beach.

    The staff was mostly unhelpful, with one even being downright rude to me when I asked for assistance. The pool was small and not well-maintained, with some dirty areas.

The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our stay. The restaurant served delicious food, and the sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this resort for a truly memorable vacation.
