    10/10 Excellent
    "Spotless and lovely rooms. The friendliest staff ever - from the front desk to the cleaners to the grounds keepers and ladies in the food/drinks area. They also arrange transfers for you. Lots of free snorkelling equipment. Best snorkelling so far in the South Pacific. Kayaks available. Laundry facilities too. Bus stop just outside the gates to go to the marhet in Avarua or anywhere else on the island. I definitely would book here again if i come back!"
