Manuia Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful place to stay, the resort is in the best side of the island where there is shelter from the wind and an amazing restaurant on site. Had multiple gluten free options in the complementary breakfast and the staff were very lovely. Also loved the guest room with shower for a late checkout and the free airport shuttle. "
