This was perfection! The manager Kaydee is doing a great job. The staff always greeted us daily by name. They were always so engaging and pleasant to talk with and incredibly welcoming. They take such great care and pride not just in the resort but in their home, the island itself. It's beautiful place that is not spoiled by big corporate greed. They have gone to great lengths to ensure the environment is protected and appreciated. The resort gives back to the community of the villages as well. We were fortunate in getting to know some of the hotel staff during our stay. We had our favorite people, Naomi, Pau, Manasa, Wati, Smiga, Pedro, John, Dan, Samia, Mere. All of are beautiful people and we will remember you for the rest of our lives for the kindness and joy you gave us. The food was amazing! My husband and I hope to return some day. This beautiful place was exactly as advertised and more.

EPIC. So much better than Nanuku. Nothing, not even Bora Bora can touch the epic white powder sand beach with healthy reef just off shore. Seclusion. We stayed in honeymoon bure which is 1/2 mile down the beach. Massive bure and associated land.
