Ninamu Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing staff made this stay a true dream. Completely private island, fantastic food, and perfect place for a home base for scuba or just relaxing. Birds, coconut crabs, and even a resort dog! Absolutely recommend and would come back any time!"

Pension Hotu

8/10 Good
"The "cabins" are very crude. They don't have AC and are very dated. Having said that, it cooled off nicely in the cabin. There are gaps below door and around windows. If you are prepared for crude then it will be a good stay. You are right by the ocean and very quiet. There are bikes, kayaks and standing boards available for use. The meals were very good too. It was a good experience. Just don't expect fancy at all. "
