Positive: The breakfast was bang on, perfect to start the day off with! Fresh scones, fruit 🍋‍🟩 👍The restaurant on site had fantastic meals and was popular with people from other resorts. Rooms are amazing and so big. The bar was great with a wide range of drinks both non and alcoholic. Staff very friendly, helping out with car rentals (200m down the road) at last minute (NZ 230 - 3 days) Great supermarket, cafe and restaurant down the road. Moana sea scooters turtle tour - recommend highly, 3 minutes away. Awesome beach to snorkel and see fish. And sooo quiet - perfect holiday spot!!!😎🌴
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Best snorkelling holiday ever!!

Positive: The location was great. The bed was comfortable.
Negative: Our beachfront cabin was a bit "tired". Breakfast was quite basic, but ok. There was only 1 washing machine for the whole place and no dryer as it was broken. I was unable to wash as the machine was either washing or had someone's wet clothes sitting in it.

Positive: Lovely laid back place to stay. The beach bungalow was in an amazing position right on the lovely beach and picture perfect location! The happy hour (and a half was) with local singer was fun too each Friday. The restaurant on-site was good with big portions ( although they did need 2 goes to cook my chicken thoroughly, but rectified it very politely!) The snorkelling directly off the beach is as good as I have seen and so easy to do even for beginners
Negative: Not much really. The breakfast is basic but adequate and only reason I have not given 10/10
Summary: Ideal quiet tropical place to stay to relax and enjoy Island life
