Kia Orana, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to write a review.Providing the highest level of hospitality is our number one priority and we sincerely apologize forfalling short of meeting your expectations regarding check in/check out times. Whilst you may not have had any charges on your account our team do have a check in/check out process to do for each guest. The Sanctuary Resort (adults only) is our separate sister resort and I am pleased to see you enjoyed the friendly staff and pool bar located there.

Kia Orana, Thank you for your review. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the absolute beachfront location of the resort. The resort enjoys a prime location directly on Aroa Lagoon Marine Sanctuary with beautiful white sand beaches, the island’s best all tide snorkelling with abundant tropical fish and occasional turtles and eagle rays as well as stunning sunsets. Guests can explore the marine sanctuary with complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, snorkels & masks, etc. Our continental style tropical breakfast buffet includes seasonal fresh island fruits, fresh fruit salad, home-stewed fruits, Bircher muesli, homemade yoghurt, fresh-baked breads, pastries, muffins & croissants, cereals, toast, cheese, ham, spreads, fruit juices, tea & coffee is available for $ NZ 24 per person and children under 11 years old half price and under two years old complimentary when dining with parents. Our meals and drink prices are in line with what you pay at other similar outlets around the island, which are more like Australia and New Zealand than Bali or Thailand, and cheaper than Fiji. Please note that as we are a small tropical island in the middle of the South Pacific, apart from locally grown fruit and vegetables as well as Game Fish, we need to import many items. In order to facilitate our housekeeping staff to fulfil various religious, community, cultural and family obligations, on Sundays and Public Holidays we provide a light housekeeping service which includes the replenishment of amenities, provision of fresh towels and removal of rubbish. Kind Regards, Haimona Browne Resort Manager
