There is an additional charge of $25 for Internet access, and the room has no view of the sea.

Nice hotel, very nice rooms, beautiful beach, good breakfast although it could be better, weak coffee for breakfast. The staff was very helpful, although they could have informed them if someone had signed up for a trip through them that someone had canceled
And immediately enter it into another operator. However, he tries to solve everything quickly if there is a problem. Mega hotel

The hotel has a first-class sea view, with the longest and most beautiful coastline among many hotels. Snorkeling is available in the hotel. But the hardware facilities are very old. But you can overlook the hardware shortcomings when you go out and see the sea.

I had already paied for my stay when I booked however they changed.
I didn't remember whether I had paied or not because booking a few month ago.
I realized thet when I checked my bank account.
It takes time to communicate and they haven't apologized :(
The room is dark and looks old.
I enjoyed snorkeling at lagoon.
Good for young people and family with kids

Amazing resort, staff were always friendly and helpful. The lagoon was fantastic and swimming with turtles everyday was awesome! A very clean resort with lots of activities and sun chairs to enjoy the beach or pool. Buffett breakfast was good, we only had dinner twice at resort, while it was ok, it was a bit pricey compared to other restaurants in the area. A special mention to “Bob” who was very funny with the activities he looked after and also Leona at the front desk who was very professional in helping us with a personal situation. Thankyou

Absolutely stunning lagoon! Wonderful snorkeling right off the beach. Great spot for Kayaks and SUP. We saw 2 turtles. Not too crowded. No sea lice! Yay. Great cocktails, good food, Our family 8 to 78 all loved it. Easy to access the whole island on the bus. It’s not 5 star luxury and rooms are a little worn but for us that didn’t matter at all the location is fabulous, fun activities, lovely staff, quiet at night, family friendly.

The rooms and staff are good, the position on the beach is great. The only down side is the menu. Also the breakfast buffet leaves something to be desired. They have the fruit in a drinks fridge, which makes it difficult to get too, plus the choice of fruit is limited.

Stayed 9 days with my 2 adult daughters for my birthday and loved it. Staff are amazing always smiling and remember your name. Room was great loved my king size bed . Maraea and the team in activities hut are just the best ! 3rd time at the rarotongan and back in December with friends. Akuila the resort manager took time to chat when passing and laisa in reservations nice to know you too. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff when needing help. Food and cocktails yummo. Wouldn't stay anywhere else. See you again soon Judi from nz
