Wonderful stay. We stayed here for 6 nights total. Arrived at 3am on the first night and were checked into our room asap. Rooms were clean and spacious. The pool area was fantastic and there were lots of places to sit down and sunbathe or have a few drinks. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive.

The property is conveniently situated within a walkable distance of Avarua. We couldn’t get a continuous booking in one room for the week as we booked at short notice. Initially we were supposed to win an ocean view room but were lead to a garden room facing the main road. Queried why and told the other rooms had been double booked! Heard of a few others that this happened to. We did get a credit etc. so the week was pretty good. Staff are generally very friendly and restaurant food at a good standard.

Nice quiet place to relax. A pleasant enough place to stay. Staff were helpful and thoughtful. Unfortunately their booking system is unreliable. The room we had booked, an ocean view room, was not available for us! We were not told this when we checked in, but were lead to another room out the back facing the main road. It was not until we got there and re-checked our booking that we noticed. I immediately went to reception to ask for an explanation as the price difference was around $100/night. We were told that there were no booked rooms were available. I did get some compensation, however we also spoke to and heard that at least 5 other couples had the same experience of being taken to another room and not the reserved ‘ocean view’ room.
