10/10 Excellent
"This was a clean, comfortable, and spacious stop over. As a solo female traveler it was perfect to be able to walk to the hotel after arriving on a late flight. The room had everything I needed and the very delicious breakfast set me up well for returning to the airport for an onward flight. I won't hesitate to stay again. Everyone was friendly and helpful."

Lagoon Breeze Villas

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed as a couple and I could see that it would suit a family very well also. Plenty of room in our villa, generous supplies such as milk, tea, coffee, soaps, shampoo, toilet paper etc. Lovely breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal & toast in the open air cafe which is situated right next to play area for kids, handy for families. Staff so friendly and helpful. There is a small bakery and takeaway/cafe within walking distance but closest bar or restaurant would be 2km away. I would advise first timers to Cooke Islands to pre book your own transport. (you really need it!) The villas are well equipped for self catering if you choose to do that. Safe snorkelling just across the road with shallow waters and plenty of colorful fish. Lagoon Breeze also had reef shoes, snorkels, masks and fins to borrow which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lagoon Breeze Villas!"
