Place which makes you feel rich The best place on Raratonga. It’s located in Muri, just in front of most famous and the most beautiful lagoon of whole island. In Muri there’s night market 4 times a week so if you want to try local food not for “tourist price” that’s the easiest place to go. Market is located 5 minutes on foot from hotel so you don’t have to wait for bus or rent a car just to eat dinner. Two houses away are lagoon cruises departing points so we got every morning a bit of live music for free. Also, around 10 min on foot there’s Te Vara Nui - “island night” entertainment, the only one with stage on water. Beaches on Raro are public but the land in front of them is not so access to beach is a bit tricky if you don’t have accommodation with direct access. This hotel has desk overlooking lagoon and stairs to beach so from your bed you have like 1 minute to beach :) Hotel itself is tiny but that’s its great advantage. It is very private - 5 bungalows for max 2 people, with “only adults” rule and pool just next to beach it makes you feel like you are in place for billionaires, when you actually didn’t have spend that much. Bungalows have huge verandas with chairs and table, where you can have breakfast enjoying ocean or mountain view. Rooms are very spacious, high ceiling with underside of roof open, fan (you really need it to sleep), big comfy bed, love seats just amazing - so comfy I could sleep in them. There’s bathroom on one side and kitchenette on the other, behind bed. There’s everything you need in kitchen if you decide to cook - even mixer to make smoothies from fresh local fruits. I have read in description of the place there would a welcome local fruit if available and I thought it just for show, when actually we got a bowl of local bananas (banana tree was just next to our veranda) and limes. Room is equipped with everything you might need - there’s chair pillows for chairs on veranda and on desk in front of beach.

The resort is a perfect stay because it is located on the lagoon, which means it is safe to swim, snorkel and Kayak in calmer waters. All of the equipment is free to use and located on the beach, along with sun beds and towels. The resort is located to a food night market which is great to try the local food, the bus stop is at the top of the road and is frequent and easy to catch around the island. The staff were very friendly and on hand to help when needed. We also booked spa treatments, facial and massage, both were amazing and definitely recommend.

This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

Friendly, relaxed vibe in a fabulous location. The rooms were very comfortable and had everything you could need. The night markets and a small 24/7 store are close by. Great coffee and tapas place across the road. We loved hearing the music from koka lagoon tours right next door as they were welcoming guests to their tour. We also loved the free use of paddle boards and kayaks provided by the resort. There were turtles in the lagoon right out front. We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely loved having beach access right there and the view is absolutely stunning. A nice, small hotel that makes you feel you have the place to yourself at times. Located close enough to Muri Lagoon but without the noise of families and tourist activities. Except for the occasional beach walker, the beach area was used exclusively by hotel guests. Room was clean and well appointed, friendly hotel staff and a bonus having a restaurant on site.

Tashi was a great host, you didn't know she was around unless you needed anything. The location was perfect. 24 hour fuel, food, liquor right across the street. The bungalow right on the beach, the deck was perfect for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. I'll be back.

excellent villa option for families or a group wanting to stay together. tranquil setting and well designed property to enjoy time outside in the covered areas despite the persistent rain! well appointed, comfortable and good value!

The rooms were huge, the pool was clean, the pool area was beautiful. Especially the restaurant staff was incredible. The room was always clean. Overall, the stay was spot on. Thank you so much for having me!

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Couldn’t have picked better accomodation. Groundsman Jek was super helpful and welcoming. Would recommend to a big family/ group. Thank you Kevin & Tina

Beautiful views over the ocean, very private villas so felt like it was just us there! Svein and Michele were so hospitable, made loads of recommendations and help out where they could

Loved the cabins, kids adored the pool. great place to keep cool, very much appreciated the air con being on when we arrived. nice bed set up and good access to water sport equipment

The resort is beautiful, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! The beach front villa with the pool was amazing, great views and was so comfortable for our family.

Beachfront Bungalows are awesome. Arguably the best snorkeling on the island right out front . AC is very nice after a hot day.

Very relaxing and beatiful. We had an amazing time. Everyone was very lovely and helpful.

Fantastic resort, but not a lot to do outside the resort, lack of restaurants and bars

Everything, the staff, the location, the restaurant - nothing to dislike

The views are amazing! And the staff is really friendly! :)

Amazing property and stunning location!
