    Breakfast was limited, which we do understand as logistics can be tricky To start with service was quite slow, and not as friendly as to what we have experienced previously here and at other resorts, it did improve as the week progressed....

    One of the childrens beds was very comfy The beach was great Room service cleaning was great Front office staff great

    Low water pressure for the shower Bikes not maintained. (Still used just aware from brakes don’t work or chains need oil)

    Able to snorkel in front of resort. Breakfast was good. Room nice and shower a size. Small front deck to lie out in the fresh air. Lovely ladies and the GM Errin was happy to spend time speaking to guests

    Exceptional service, food and entertainment at their restaurant, clean, wonderful amenities, and very private and relaxing. There is an adult side and a family side which is great to know when you’re booking for a romantic getaway. Staff and the people on the island are very warm and helpful. Take the Teking snorkeling tour if you like to snorkel. It’s exceptional.

    Beautiful accommodations on the beach with snorkeling at the beach in front of the bungalows.

    We received what was offered, breakfast, paddle boards, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, sea view, swimming pool. Great location, not crazy busy although all accommodations were full, walking distance to other acc restaurants(make sure you book). Scooters for hire if you’d like to go exploring. Airport pickup & drop off. Very happy with our nice quiet stay before we head to Rarotonga.

    Bicycles needed a little servicing, but that just added to their charm. No ‘last orders’ in the restaurant, or else might have had another round of you fantastic drinks!

    Fantastic place, charming lovely, kind warm hearted staff and absolute joy. Free bananas. Water stations. Free bikes. Great scooter hire a manager who spoke to the guests at breakfast, cared and gave great recommendations. Great breakfast, buffet. Greeted at the airport with a lei by the lovely Aunty Nana.

    Staff (especially nanager Erin) very helpful. Breakfast and restaurant definatly improved since our last stay two years ago. Very nice breakfast options - including barista coffee - great buffet on island night, limited but very tasty menu for lunch/dinner. Good snorkel possibilities. Fine and spotless clean beach.

    We loved this small family owned resort with friendly staff and a great location on the beach. We loved the complimentary use of snorkel and goggles (no flippers), the kayaks, the SUPs, and the bikes, which were great because there are no public buses on the island. Complimentary breakfast is amazing with full buffet options as well as an option from the a la carte menu. Rooms are spacious with a large bathroom and walk in shower as well as an outdoor shower, which we loved! The horizon pool was fabulous especially at night watching the stars! We’d definitely stay again.

    Travel works by taxi only if you do not rent a car in advance. Instant car rental is not so likely.

    Very convenient and spacious bungslows close to the beachfront. Breakfast and services are also fine.
