The salt water pool is unique as the water is exchanged almost daily during high tide. Beautiful shells on the beach, beautiful people all around. Tapas bar dinner is very good and reasonably priced.

Owners are prompt to correct problems, if any.

We would definitely stay there again.

We had the best stay and loved the room and property so much that we rarely ventured out. Store is nearby, it’s peaceful, the staff show aloha. Thank you so much for making a couple of Hawaiians feel at home.

Oh what a wonderful resort this is. I would go as far as to say that it is probably the best resort on the island. Every thing is just perfect and Barry and Elaine are the best hosts that you could wish for. Highly recommended.

Just a beautiful location and adults only! They have 12 villas, so it’s never going to be crowded. It’s quiet with only the rumble of the surf in the distance and the gurgling from the pool fountain. Talk about a restful retreat! They have a small tapas bar and restaurant that opens at 4pm. The only downside to this resort is you can’t swim or wade in the ocean out front. It’s surrounded by coral and rocks with lots of urchins to ruin your trip. It’s worth it to just sit on the beach or hang out in/by the pool. Relax and live on island time! Totally worth coming for the relaxation alone!

What a special place! We absolutely love our stay here. The owner and his wife did everything possible to make it special and to help us out with all our questions. Elaine is just outstanding at her job and she is the main point of contact - so thoroughly knowledgeable and friendly - all her recommendations were spot on! We could not have asked for a better experience. The design of the villas is really outstanding with enough space between the villas and a smart angled design to ensure quiet and privacy. I wish we could have stayed longer. This place is an excellent value and the massages are excellent, very affordable and 75 minutes long! The restaurant and tapas bar at the end of the pool is outstanding. When we were there they were working on a deck that soon will further enhance the space available to view the ocean while you enjoy a drink and a meal. And then there is the salt water pool. How great is that? Water pumped daily straight from the ocean so no chemicals like chlorine in this pool!!! The coffee place up the street is wonderful. What a great little place to relax. I just hope they have room for the next time we want to come. We have NEVER been happier with any place we have stayed!!!

Great little place and staff very helpful. New clean facilities and only a stones throw from from Muri beach. Petrol station, store and great burger joint across the road too. No hesitations in recommending this place, other than the fact that I want it to be available next time I want to go!!!
