Brilliant hotel, clean, friendly staff. Bar service was good, just be mindful of ‘island time’. Round the island bus is convenient but a driver we encountered was quite rude - we wanted to travel the circle then get off at our hotel. We got one the wrong way bus (our hotel was only a couple of stops away) he was angry about us staying on for the whole journey! That’s our only minus. Friendly people, amazing location.

The rooms were large and spacious, however the overall resort is tired. Maintenance around the property is not great. The outdoor furniture was untidy, our outside patio furniture wasn't very clean and no-one sweep o the patio in 6 days we were there. Unfortunately we would not recommend this resort. Not great value for money, and I wouldn't think it was a 4 star Resort

We stayed in 2br garden villa. Good, clean accommodation but let down by no hot water for shower. Got slightly better after mentioning to staff but would expect better at these prices. Resort was relaxing and had everything you need. Clean and comfortable. However if you are expecting modern 5 star it is not up to that level. Aging infrastructure that takes time to improve. You can see this is gradually being done. Staff were very helpful and courteous. Happy hour every day 4-6. Great value. Breakfast buffet was fine and had something for everyone.

We had the beach front villa No. 8, which was huge & well appointed and private. Comfy bed & pillows, decent kitchen area. The sofa could have been more comfortable and a bit larger. Buffet breakfast was nice, happy hour was relaxing, front desk staff were helpful, & other staff were so gentle and kind. Wifi a bit hit & miss, but that’s ok. I liked that the resort is on a large block of land away from the street, so very quiet. Many other resorts are close to the road, especially around the Muri area.

Liked the location right on the beach to relax but not for swimming as it’s very rocky. Rooms were tidy n serviced well but bathroom was not well maintained with very old fittings.. water flow in the shower was trickling inspite of them fixing it. Breakfast was exact same every day no change at all. Coconut water was never available. Staff was a mix of being courteous and not too polite. Overall was ok.

Staff was great and super friendly. Daily breakfast was also great. We used the free self laundry during our stay and they had a drying rack in the room to dry your clothes 😀 We stayed in a villa with a private pool. The room was very big. AC was cold! There are quite a few reefs which we enjoyed snorkeling around. We walked to Edgewater and had a bite to eat and walked to the Rarotonga Brewery for a drink.
