Wonderful relaxing stay in a large room with gorgeous lagoon views. Relaxing by the large pool or wandering down along the lagoon to the heart of Muri Lagoon (about a 15 min walk ) quickly put us into holiday mode. Staff were so friendly and welcoming (special mention to the lovely April in the day spa and Va in the restaurant ). As others have mentioned the included breakfast is extremely basic, but easily supplemented with cooked eggs, etc for purchase, and on the evening we dined i house the meals were very well presented and great value for money. The ground staff and cleaners do a fantastic job of keeping the pool, grounds and rooms looking clean and inviting. Will definitely plan a return visit.

The room was very nice. Large room with a balcony. The staff were friendly. The beach was not the best beach. Was rocky and hard to find a good spot to go in. The pool was okay. There are some restaurants close to the hotel and can walk. The free breakfast is fruit, Rice Krispies , yogurt, and bread. They do have breakfast that you can buy. No wifi. I was there for 24 hours and bought the week WiFi pass of $10 and it last about 3 hours and then had to buy more data. I just used WhatsApp, instagram, email and watched 20 minutes of Netflix then went out (think was the Netflix). I had an international SIM card but did not work on the property. I had to walk down the street to use it. Nice hotel but would pick a different location with a better beach and WiFi.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathrooms were amazing! Great waterpressure, clean, large mirrors, and great lighting. The resort is in walkable distance to several Must-Eats & Attractions: The Night Foodmarkets, La Casita, Nautilus, Love Coffee Cart, Vibe,... The list is endless and so, so, so yummy! The beach is directly accessible from the hotel, and if you go snorkeling there, you are likely to see turtles. Don't recommend going at Lowest Tide, as the water is so shallow, that you have to walk ages before you are more than knee deep in. IMPORTANT: Wear Reef Shoes!!! The Corals can be very sharp, and there have been reportings of Stone Fish, although I did not see any myself. The included continental Breakfast is very basic, but sufficient, if you just want a quick cuppa and a musli before heading out for bigger ventures. However, their freshly baked Muffins in the mornings are a MUST HAVE! Take one to go, or munch on the spot! So Yum! Their Breafkast Menu a la Carte (at extra cost) is amazing though, and well worth the price, if you were planning on going out for paid brekky anyway. Their dinners are good, but dinner service was VERY slow. Which is fine, we're all on vacation - but there are so many other fantastic restaurants in the region, and the Night Food Markets are a definite must, whenever they are open, so we only ate in the Laguna once when the Night Food Market was closed and we were too lazy to walk - so it may have been a once off.

Well organised room with great furniture. Friendly staff who made check in easy. Parking accross the road is great. Wifi at this resort is excellent. The only down side was there really was no atmosphere. We may have seen about 2 people the whole time we were there. We enjoyed the fact it was an adult only resort but it was more just for peaceful laxing. There is no activity or entertainment.

The room was very spacious and modern. It had three large mirrors in all, which is something most accommodation falls short on. The staff were lovely, the barista made coffee was very good, and the location was excellent, being very close to many eating and drinking options. The only negatives I would say is that we rented a car from the airport, but still had to pay the hotel van driver $30 to check us in as our flight was after the office closed (as would most of the flights in I would think), and for $300 odd dollars a night, I would expect more than toast, 2 plain cereals, yogurt, sliced coconut, orange & apple for the included breakfast. I assume it is to push you to order a paid breakfast, which we did several times - my husband had the omelette every time as it was fabulous, I had halloumi and mushrooms on toast, which wasn’t good as the toast wasn’t buttered, halloumi not cooked and mushrooms just fried then some balsamic vinaigrette sprinkled over it. I assumed I was getting mushrooms in a cream sauce considering the time we waited for it, and it wasn’t busy.
