Iririki Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay at Iririki Resort, beautiful setting, accommodations were comfortable and property was well kept. Staff were wonderful and worked hard to ensure we had all we needed and always smiled and extremely helpful. Highly recommend and would love to return for a visit someday... Thank you for a memorable week - food was excellent with multiple choices and a varied menu. Would only ask if at all possible to have more chaise lounges around the infinity pool - it was impossible to snag one during our stay as they were always occupied and not enough."

"The staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly, helpful, and exceptionally personable. I honestly couldn't speak more highly of them.The resort itself was stunning. The location was fantastic, with an easy walk across to the other side of the island where you'll find the most beautiful beach. We stayed in a hilltop villa, and the views from our room were breathtaking. It was the perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and escape from everyday life.The only reason for my slightly lower rating was the food. While it was delicious and well prepared, it wasn't quite what I had hoped for. I was looking forward to enjoying more traditional local cuisine, with an abundance of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, and seafood. Instead, the menu felt quite Westernised. I'm sure there are reasons for this, but for me, one of the highlights I was anticipating was experiencing more of the local, fresh produce and flavours."

"Arranging airport transfers via Expedia’s messaging portal was a failure. Hotel quoted a price via the portal that I confirmed, but no one showed up at the airport. Had to pay much more for a taxi. Hotel staff didn’t have an explanation as to why the transfer wasn’t scheduled. At check in I requested a return transfer be scheduled on my departure day. They took my flight info and said to just confirm it the day before. When I went the day before to confirm they had no record of my request. The rooms are comfortable. Soap and shampoo supplied. Had a full kitchen but didn’t use it. The pools look well kept with plenty of seats but some of the walkways going to the rooms are in need of repair. Overall location is good. A short 10-15 minute walk to downtown waterfront restaurants and public market. They have an on-site Italian restaurant, Casa Mia. Waitress said I could sit anywhere but after doing so and getting comfortable, napkin on my lap, was then asked if I could move to a different table. They shouldn’t tell someone they can sit anywhere if they don’t mean it. That said, the food was delicious."
