We stayed March 2025. The resort is lovely and staff helpful & friendly. Our room was upstairs with lovely view over pool & ocean. The room was very comfortable and bathroom great size. Air conditioning worked well & was great to have available. Included breakfast was fantastic and all meals we had were delicious. Resort staff very good with info about tours & island life. 2 pools & outdoor areas very nice. Would definitely come back again- in fact already booked again & hope to see whales in July. Loved our time in Niue!

Overall is the best place to stay in Niue, just a little bit disappointed about the fishing charter booking, even though everything seems confirmed before we are heading to the wharf. Unfortunately, we couldn't get on the trip due to the miscommunication between the resort and the skipper who mentioned the resort hasn't come back to him on time which was unreal. It's a little pity of our holiday. Other than that, we highly recommend this resort to the others.

We stayed in apartment 3, the view's and the sound of the waves were amazing. Our only issues we had were...
1. The shower head was very dirty as was the toilet, we had not used any of these at this stage.
2. The attachment to the showerhead needed tightening as it spent most of our stay cleaning my feet, if you turned the pressure on to high it would lift the showerhead and spray water on to the walls out of the shower catching you off guard.
3. The pool was murky, pool deck broke under my husbands feet. The boards are rotting.
4. Get a good car. The potholes are challenging to say the least, you hear it takes an hour and a half, it took us 3 hours.
All that aside, we would do it all over again, the people are friendly. The local kids performances were beautiful.
Thank you for a great experience.

A week that went too quickly.

The only resort of any size on Niue island, it is a very relaxing and enjoyable environment; comfortable with out being over the top......it really adopts the island experience. Great team that seem only too willing to assist and give advice. wonderful decks for daytime relaxing or nighttime dining. Something entertaining happening each night which is excellent as if you dont have a rental car on Niue you cant really go anywhere as there is no public transport. Nice tropical breakfast, good evening menu. Great pool bar with excellent cocktails.

Pleasant place to stay

We stayed at the resort primarily out of convenience. We found everything to be more than adequate for our needs, but not fancy. Restaurant food was good, especially on umu night. (Many thanks for the bottle of sparkling wine, to help me celebrate my 70th).
Pool was a great alternative on days when conditions made ocean snorkeling difficult. Full marks to the staff, who were always helpful and friendly. Recommend getting an upstairs Ocean room as the views are good. I suspect the ground level rooms could feel a bit less private. Also recommend the orientation tour as an introduction to the island. Rent a car, both for convenience and the experience of \"pothole slalom\" .

Hotel is build on huge coral cliffs.Because of that the beach is not accessible.There are however swimming pools.
The hotel is about 5 km from the capital.
If you do not rent a car the very friendly staff Will shuttle you to “down town Alofi.(= capital).There are NO ATM MACHINES.
The only bank does not change foreign currency,so you must have NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS on you.
At some places credit cards are accepted.
The islands of Samoa and Tonga are about 500 km away,but There are NO flights from Niue to these islands.The ONLY FLIGHTS are the biweekly Airbus flights to AUCKLAND.
If you want Some quiet time and do things like sending a POSTCARD,using Niue stamps,or renting a car in a country that has no traffic lights,and where the speedlimit is 25 Miles an hour GO TO NUIE.You CAN even get a Niue driving license ( showing your foreign one,and costs you NZ$ 22,50).A

Great resort in a beautiful location

As soon as we arrived we felt welcome, the resort looked stunning and the staff we very friendly. During our stay we ate at the restaurant everyday either for breakfast or dinner. The menu was fine but could have a bit more choice, after seven days it got a bit boring. The staff were lovely and always polite, some lacked training as they did not understand some basic requests. The lsland is wonderful and we had a great time exploring and meeting the beautiful people of Nuie

Hotel was comfortable but feeling a bit tired and staff had to be asked to do simple things like removing dirty dishes and changing towels. Happy hour was a bit of a myth when it takes 45 minutes to get your cocktail. Mostly small cereal boxes, tinned fruit and white bread for breakfast :(

Great Hotel, views fantastic but food is terrible

We had a great time, pools were great but lacked any sunbeds, some of the staff are friendly, food was terrible - but we didn't expect great food anyway. There is plenty of cafes and restaurants around the island to go to and the resort dropped you off and pick up up which was fantastic. We would definitely go back (Just don't have any expectations). The island is not yet commercialized but is going to be soon with the Chinese coming into complete the roads which are full of pot holes!

This resort is great but be careful.

The resort was great however we were not informed of the construction and maintenance work on at the time of our visit. Incentives were also not given say for a day out given the construction noise which was a nuisance for poolside or even inroom relaxation.
The managers are also not flexible and discretion not afforded for any unforeseen events so be sure to check the booking conditions and/or have appropriate insurance. We paid for two rooms and used one with a credit note also not on offer. Communication between staff is low and unclear and incorrect advise provided, be very cautious.

A lovely resort in a stunning setting

I stayed in the self-catering apartments - spacious, clean, modern bathroom and the wood-paneling gave it a seaside vibe. The view from the balcony was beautiful and the sound of the waves made for a relaxing time. Whales could be spotted just a few metres offshore - amazing!

The main resort itself is a km away - I recommend hiring a car which you will want anyway wherever you're staying on Niue. The resort has a lovely layout and delightful staff.

Very slow wi-fi so just abandon your phones and tablets and enjoy the stunning surroundings.

I would highly recommend this resort and Niue itself - the coastal scenery is just wow!

Nice quiet spot

We had a quiet relaxing week here. The apartments are large and have great views. It's easily accessible to the rest of the resort if you have a car. Our only frustration was we asked staff to set up several excursions and they all fell through. We ended up having to arrange them all ourselves.
