Studio unit was fully equipped with all cooking utilities needed, towels and toiletries also provided, bed was comfortable and room was a great size. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with any questions. Wifi was only avaliable in the pool area. They have life jackets, snorkles, flippers and kayaks you are able to use, and every unit has an outdoor shower to rinse off under. Lovely place to stay.

The scenery is stunning, and the accommodation is excellent. The staff are especially warm and attentive, making the stay very enjoyable. The only downside is that the air conditioning doesn’t cool properly, making the room quite hot. If this could be improved, the experience would be perfect.

I personally loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy spots. I am not so sure that my hubby felt the same!!You need a car or scooter - which are cheap as chips. The staff could not have been more lovely - they are superb. I will be back with the grand children.

Lovely pool, clean and tidy. Desiree is very helpful.A great understanding lady. Any problems, see her. The studios are very clean, tidy and have electric ceiling fans, heat pumps and gauzed sliding widows.. Apartments are literally 10 to 15 meters away from the beautiful lagoon. Would definitely stay there again. One word of advice. Anyone taking a DSLR Camera to Rarotonga take a CPL Lens filter. Just to take the ripple effect off the water when windy.

The friendliness of the staff from the first day to the last was very welcoming. You felt they knew you. The accommodation was more than expected, a loaf of bread, a bunch of bananas, as well as jam, marmalade, butter was all in the unit on arrival. The wifi was fickle. We were lucky on our day of departure the staff let us carry on using our unit until the afternoon, thank you

I liked the view of muri lagoon from our studio and that it was situated off the main road. However, it is not a quiet place to stay as it faces the lagoon and on a windy day (which we had many during our stay) it howled through the studio. Roosters and barking dogs also made it a challenge to sleep. Ear plugs were essential.

Was a great place to stay. Nice to be away from the crowds of tourists. Plenty to do with the pool, canoes etc - there is a lot more sea life in the water than further up the lagoon. Desiree was so helpful and accomodating- nothing was too much trouble. The cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
