Location was perfect. Staff were on point. Food was delicious. Attention to detail, in the room to be reviewed. The Islander property lacked an authentic Cook Islands identity. It was not a memorable location that screamed "Cook Islander, and proud". Would love to see them take more inspiration from the island/s, not international.
