AI Summary
The property features a beautiful beachfront location, great facilities including pools and snorkeling equipment. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, comfortable rooms, and friendly, helpful staff. However, some may find it noisy.

The resort is on the seaside of the atoll, very close to the airport with a six-minute drive, and the hotel arranges pick-up and drop-off for guests, which is very convenient and worry-free. There is also a French restaurant by the sea and by the pool in the resort, which tastes good and is not expensive. As a result, I settled all three meals in the morning, lunch and evening.
The front desk of the resort only works for half a day, and the rest needs to be handled by self-help or pick-up drivers. They have a lounge near the front desk reserved for check-out guests with tea and coffee and showers.

Another visit to this beautiful resort,albeit 15 years later.Still as peaceful and a pleasure to stay.There is no tv or radio, so a good time to relax under the palm trees with a book.The food was great and we worked our way through the menu,ceviche was one of my favourite dishes.We were woken most mornings by the warbly tones of local roosters.Hermit crabs seen scurrying along the paths in the morning.Beautiful tidy garden.The staff couldn’t do enough to make stay a pleasure.

This place is fabulous, the staff are super friendly and the location is wow and the food in the restaurant is second to none here. The cocktails by the pool are relaxed and sooo good. It is close to town and close to other attractions. Great snorkellling out the front and some friendly dogs passing through.

A genuinely warm welcome from a relaxed staff who do everything possible to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. So many lovely surprises that would be spoiled if you come with that knowledge. If you value the environment , are seeking relaxation with the potential for exploring and learning, in luxury and kindness , then this is the place for you .

Great place to stay if you don’t want somewhere too “resorty” . Lovely staff, v helpful, everything clean and tidy. Snorkelling right outside isn’t great but easy to get to all locations if you hire a scooter (or car) nice having several good eating options within walking distance. OTB restaurant adjacent was superb. Small enough to feel special.

The stand out for this resort is the excellent customer service and very enjoyable entertainment in the restaurant on Friday & Saturday night. I had a private garden room at the back of the resort which was very clean and comfortable, however a little dated. I wasn’t quite prepared for the 4am wake up call from the roosters, the slightly funky smell from the drains of the outdoor shower ( there was no indoor shower) nor the giant cockroaches that invaded after dark ( very grateful for the supply of bug spray to sort them out!). The restaurant and small pool were beachside with a lovely outlook. Water was filtered so fine to use. Top tip- turn on the outside light or take a small torch or your phone when you go to dinner, the resort isn’t very well lit at night. The airport transport shuttle was easy & efficient and I caught the bus to go around the island from outside the gate with no problems.

Our travel agent book this resort for use. We had a garden room, very spacious and clean with an outside shower. The gardens and the pool/ beach area are stunning, and the staff do a great job keeping it clean a tidy. The resort is close to other resorts, restaurants, and across the road is a dairy and a rental car/ bike business. Overall, we enjoyed the stay, take some mozzie spray and ear plugs for the roosters.

This is a genuine piece of paradise, exactly what it says on their website. The view from our beach room and the swimming pool is amazing. A lovely relaxing time after our tour of New Zealand. Ross and his team are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
