They do not cater for young children who have an accident where they have wet the bed while sleeping they dont accomodate and charged us $140.00WST which they say was included in the t’s & c’s but there was NOTHING that stated anything at all and i made that clear i didnt sign or agree to anything such as this ridiculous condition or rule and they refunded us back! They are over rated the costs do not match the run down resort. They cost an arm and a leg which we regret booking with them and moved to Taumeasina which you get what you pay for!!!

We really enjoy our stay. Watching the sunset on the beach was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. Our only issue was with the restaurant on site the food was honestly terrible and I’m not a picky eater but I’m paying a lot of money as the restaurant was expensive I would expect the food to be decent. I would recommend eating elsewhere. But otherwise everything was amazing.
