The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Restaurant Experience

The food was fantastic if you eat at the in-house restaurant (Laguna) and the dinner menu was very good and reasonably priced. I enjoyed their company overall, and the restaurant staff were generally friendly and helpful. While there was a limited coffee selection, I found the barista-made coffees to be excellent, enhancing the dining experience.

Gorgeous Room with Sea View

Our room (lagoon view, ground floor) was very comfortable and spacious, with a lovely modern bathroom and excellent air conditioning. I loved the view towards the water; it added to our overall enjoyment of the stay. The nice clean atmosphere was also a big plus!

Comfy and Clean Bedroom

The beds in the room were extremely comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights during our stay. The overall cleanliness of the room made it a perfect retreat after our daily adventures. I felt at ease knowing we had such a cozy place to return to.

Lovely Pool Area

Despite the beach not being great, I loved the pool area. It was lovely and well maintained, providing a peaceful oasis to relax and unwind. The combination of the pool and the beautiful lagoon view created a perfect leisure setting.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort. The rooms were spacious and spotless, offering a stunning view of the sea, which made mornings quite special. The service was engaging and very helpful, although there were moments where a friendlier interaction would have been nice. The location was perfect for exploring local cafes and activities, just a short walk from the beachfront. The dining experience did leave something to be desired, but overall, the value for money was acceptable.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, enjoying the stunning views of the lagoon from my room while being just a short walk from the beach. The rooms were beautifully maintained and offered great value for money. However, the dining could definitely use some improvement, as the breakfast options were quite basic. Overall, I had a nice time, but there’s room for some enhancements in that area.

I had quite a pleasant stay at the resort. The rooms were spacious, modern, and offered fantastic views of both the pool and lagoon. The service provided was welcoming, although a bit warmer engagement would have made it even better. The location is truly perfect, just a short walk to Muri Beach, but I did feel it lacked that complete 'resort' vibe. All in all, I found it to be good value for money, though some facilities were still under construction during my visit.
