Well organised room with great furniture. Friendly staff who made check in easy. Parking accross the road is great. Wifi at this resort is excellent. The only down side was there really was no atmosphere. We may have seen about 2 people the whole time we were there. We enjoyed the fact it was an adult only resort but it was more just for peaceful laxing. There is no activity or entertainment.

Loved Moana Sands Lagoon, amazing views from our upstairs unit. Place felt clean & fresh throughout, staff were friendly & helpful and always busy cleaning and making things look nice. Loved how peaceful it was to relax by the pool and easy to stroll along the beach to the centre of Muri. A+++ we'll definitely be back.
