9.6/10 Exceptional! (98 reviews)

We had a brilliant 16 night stay at Nautilus. Everyday was like a dream. The staff at Nautilus are brilliant. Waka collected us from the airport, gave us some island tips and also took us to a local rugby game! Mahea, Tia and Doniel at the reception were always warm, welcoming and helpful. Make sure you go and see Anna at the spa - she is excellent at massage, facial and pedicure! Justine, Rho and Calessi were great in the restaurant. The stand out staff member for us was Janet. Each and every time Janet saw us she made us feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she looked after us spectacularly. Nautilus are lucky to have her! Brilliant spot on Muri Beach with access to kayaks, snorkels and paddle boards. Our Beachfront Are was fabulous with our very own plunge pool and just a few steps from the beach! Great comfy bed, air conditioned with a huge bathroom. Thoroughly enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary here and will definitely be back in the future!
