    Beautiful resort - we definitely will be back!

    Nothing!

    The resort is beautiful. It has stunning plants and flowers all around and is right on the beach. The pool area is right in the middle of the resort and set beautifully among palm trees. The staff is very nice and will do anything for you. The location is great as it's close to small shops and the night market. You can hire snorkel gear and reef shoes for free as well as kayaks and stand up paddle boards. We loved it!

    The bathroom could have had a fan or more ventilation to make it fresher.

    The pool was great, refreshing and choice of shade or no shade. Room was nice and spacious. Nice outdoor sheltered.

    The wifi ended up being expensive and not always reliable. On one occasion water was turned off without us being aware. Not so good in the middle of a shower!!!

    Proximity to the beach and numerous restaurants. The nearby lagoon was safe and calm for water sports. Villa was large and comfortable.

    It was a little frustrating when we couldn't simply charge our room sometimes (which is what we were told we could do upon checkin). It seemed to work sometimes and other times it wasn't possible. Not a big deal though! The hotel wifi was quite average, it was almost 'per session' so if you logged on and then stopped using it for a bit it would switch off again. When you're not at the hotel there was no roaming on the island. I would suggest purchasing a vodaphone esim online if you plan to do some work online or want to be able to contact people while you're there.

    Muri Beach is a great location on the island! We were there for a wedding with a few other guests staying in hotels nearby which made catch ups easy. The resort itself is lovely, it's the sister resort of Nautilus so we used the same restaurant facilities as Nautilus guests. The staff were lovely at both locations.

    Some of the linen didn't look that clean, but then again, I've never understood why hotels use white! Furniture could be more comfortable. It was a bit of a pain having to ask for replenishment of teabags so often. Shower was very small, but bathroom itself was a good size.

    The staff were very helpful. The pool. Liked that there was a washing machine we could use. Liked outdoor patio and the landscaping. Very pretty. Good to have access to the Nautilus facilities.

    A little further from the Muri Beach Resort. Will definitely need to hire a car if you have small children and grandparents.

    Plantation house is great for a large family. Kids loved the private pool, and the bunk bed. Lots of space in the living room for the adults in the evening.

    Loved our 2 bedroom unit which accommodated ourselves and my sister. It was well equipped so we were able to self cater when we wanted to. Loved the proximity and access to restaurant and spa facilities at The Nautilus. Excellent location in Muri Beach. Loved the setting of the units amongst the tropical gardens.

    Some aspects of the units are looking a little run down and in need of some upgrading. Decor is perhaps a little dated.

    • Two-Bedroom Villa
    • Stayed 7 nights

    We had booked 2 two-bedroom villas and 1 one-bedroom villa and when we arrived we discovered we were in 3 apartments. Two had two bedrooms but the other had a bed in the lounge, not a bedroom as we originally thought. The apartments were showing signs of wear and tear and would benefit from a complete upgrade. However all of the family enjoyed their holiday.

    The location was really great. There were many cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The family enjoyed using the kayaks and other water gear. The staff at Muri Beach Resort were very professional and helpful. The grounds around the resort were kept very tidy. We were always greeted with a friendly kiaorana.

    The wasps. We spent a lot of time killing them and destroying nests. The house is a little tired and could do with a thorough clean. Dishwashwer is faulty. Rang it in but no one came.

    It was very spacious and lots of seating areas for two families with teens. Two great bathrooms and good kitchen. Nice pool. The welcome breakfast food in the fridge was a nice and unexpected touch. Scooter hire close by. A lot of bug spray - thank you. And mosquito coils. So good.

    There is not much difference between a lagoon view room and garden room except that one is a bit closer to the beach. Couldnt see the lagoon from the room so next time I would get a garden room.

    The location was great. Staff were friendly. Pool was awesome. We were given some fruit and a welcome breakfast basket which was great. Easy walking to good food places.

    The room was supposed to be a lagoon view room and it clearly wasn't however it was clean and comfortble.

    Location was fantastic. Great to have the use of the paddle boards but they were under inflated and poor quality with no good paddles without going to borrow from the sister resort.
