    Low shower pressure; villas are a bit dated and furniture is old and not as new as the suites but otherwise it provides a home away home which suited us. Few Restaurant chairs broke around us as others sat down or moved them. Pool is a bit small for such a large and busy resort and could do with a clean. Would suggest eating elsewhere as food is average.

    Location is great! Close to airport, town and south side; friendliest Cleaning staff who kept our villa clean and refreshed frequently - Meitaki Maata for your care and friendly chats. Very beautiful beach and marina. Booked Garden Villa for 8 days which has everything you need - full kitchen, filter water, washing machine, great sized bedrooms. Great beach towel and reef shoe service. Loved the Spa Store and resort pets (dogs and chickens roam freely and are very tame which the kids enjoyed).

    Accommodation and facilities and staff were fantastic. If anything is the courtesy of other guest, you can't control what they do and how they behave.

    There were 10 of us travelling and we only stayed for one night as we transitioned to a holiday home. And overall experience was fantastic. Beds were super comfy and loads of space for all three rooms we had booked. clean, cool and comfy. We also booked for the island night and had breakfast and all was just right for us, we really enjoyed our stay. But the real stars was staff, everyone was super friendly and made you feel welcome.

    Extra costs for services, such as $15.00 for room service delivery, when the food was dropped off 50mths away. 2

    Garden view room was clean, spacious and cool, with free flowing air, air conditioning and ceiling fans. Added bonus was the breakfast being included.

    - lack of parking - some restaurant staff were too grumpy - lack of info regarding things to do in the local area - would’ve been great to know info such as when the markets are open and where, what activities are available both in and out of the resort, and would have been a bonus to have a list of other car rental places in the area - so one has more than just the in-house car rental company (which never seemed to have vehicles available) to choose from - lack of some room amenities - would have been nice if rooms had a microwave - would be good if rooms also had a ‘clothes horse’ - to dry clothes in your room as paying for a drier is expensive if you’ve only got a little bit of clothing to dry

    - close to the water - the ambience - awesome friendly reception and property staff ie:- grounds people/room attendants - most of the restaurant waitress/waiter staff were lovely - very yummy food - excellent onsite day spa

    Kids club but they address the issue of letting my child go and no one was in our room therefore found her distressed out side the room the manager dealt with this and the staff responsible. The fact that when I made the booking for the AB table it was not done or the staff were not fazed by this it annoyed me! The snorkeling gear was faulty or there was not enough of it there was a slim chance of getting workable gear, next time we will bring our own. Some of the activities at the activities hut did not go ahead orientation, market day - the staff member seemed really uninterested Keano?

    Kids club stuffed up but addressed our problem straight away. Breakfast was fab although I made a booking of the AB table two mornings in a row as the first morning I booked it someone was sitting there and the same the second morning the other mornings I just got up earlier to secure the spot - that annoyed me a little. Dinner menu unfortunately I have a really fussy child and there was nothing suitable on the dinner menu for her - plain is what some 8 year old kids like. Room was adequate for what we needed.

    Found breakfast a bit bland and if you were later to breakfast there was often limited left. Food at the restaurant was Okay but preferred to eating elsewhere unfortunately

    Loved our location as this was the seller for us. Would definitely book the beach villa again. Great layout and catered for all members of our family from infants to adults. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Beach was lovely to swim in in front of our villa
