Loved its simplicity- not commercial, quiet, stunning location and wonderful, friendly staff. Delicious food as well.

Zealousbrash United States of America

Continental breakfast was nice, staff were lovely, rooms were okay & the grounds exceeded expectations - beautiful gardens, restaurant & pools.

Alice New Zealand

Fantastic resort. The grounds are gorgeous -- meticulously kept -- and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful and the rooms had everything we needed. Definitely go for a beachfront room if you can. It's worth it.

Catlin United States of America

The beach was pretty and the area was good for snorkeling, actually the best of the 4 places we stayed while in the Cooks. The front office staff were very helpful and nice, as were the wait staff at the restaurant. The landscaping was very nice and maintained to perfection!

Norman United States of America

Nice facilities located on a fair size property allowing those that do not want to venture too far off the premises to stay put. We enjoyed sitting at the gazebo near the beach and watch the waives roll over the coral reef. Going in the water at the beach was a bit tricky due to rocky bottom. We rented a scooter and went around the island a couple of times - in about an hour and a half. People of the island are very friendly.

Zlatko Canada

Excellent staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble

Ozzie Australia

Right on the beach Great room 150 ft from the water

Donna United States of America

The location and facilities and food were great. Most of the staff were quite personable. I do believe that there should not be a charge for local calls or for laundry. We enjoyed our stay.

Wayne United States of America

Free tropical breakfast was a welcome bonus, daily dose of local fruits were great! Resort was the right size without too many other guests yet with full facilities. Beach was quiet and did not have to fight for hammocks or beach chairs.

Andrew New Zealand
