loved the location and snorkling right out the front of our room. Got upgraded for free to a beach front view. was delighted.

Tennille New Zealand

Exceptional staff, always very friendly and warm. It was a great experience for me and family, especially our two little daughters who made lots of friends there.

Marcus Chile

View, apartment, breakfast, "happy hour", dinner and snacks - all exceeded our reputations! Beautiful place - lovely and we will return. Shame we went into Lockdown in NZ the evening we arrived. We will be back when the world starts turning again!

Gwendoline New Zealand

The whole holiday was great. The staff were helpful and friendly. The children especially were really well looked after and doted on by the staff (especially in the restaurant).

Daniel New Zealand

breakfast was awesome cereal toast lots of fresh fruit donuts amazing 😻 lots to choose from.

Stacey New Zealand

Hireage of beach towels and snorkeling gear was great. Would be nice to have them longer than 2 hours though. The staff were amazing and very helpful attending to all our requests with a smile on their faces!

Sally New Zealand

Great location. The town busses go through the resort.... very convenient.

Tania Canada

The room we had was the 3 bedroom villa, it was more than enough space for the whole family, the cooking facility was good as well. The complimentary breakfast was very basic (not the cooked ones), but the fresh fruits were plenty to choose. The islanders night show & dinner and culture performance is an absolute must to go.

Pengqi New Zealand

Outdoor eating and pool area very people friendly Great music Loved the gardens Cleaning staff and restaurant staff exceptional Snorkeling sensational Resort has pleasant ambiance

Vivienne Australia

Close to Airport, and the buses to town stop in the resort premises which is very convenient. There are some rocks on the beach, very slippery, so be careful when you step on them. Diving site is at the beach, lots of fishes swim by, it’s a lagoon.
