This was one of the most incredible, lovely and relaxing places that I have ever stayed, especially in Papua New Guinea. The staff were so attentive and helpful and gracious no matter what we needed. The spa services and atmosphere were indescribably relaxing and pampering. I cannot say enough good things about the resort, its staff and services. I highly recommend anyone to stay here and I will return myself.

A beautiful, safe haven only a short boat ride from the coast, and airport transfers included. From the moment we stepped off the ferry, we were impressed by the beauty of the resort and the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. Plenty to do to keep us happy for 5 days - walking, swimming, dining, relaxing by the pool, snorkelling, kayaking, day spa, and capturing photos of the amazing sunrises and sunsets. We absolutely plan to return!

Area around the property had a lot of debris. Bottles, plastic and paper washed in from the tides. It did not give a good impression of the resort. They have to ensure that the debris are cleaned regularly around the property

Nice to visit, but don't expect great service

Great Location and opportunty to get away from Port Moresby for a break. Unfortunately service has never been great at Loloata and contnues to be that way. The menu has been the same for years, they ran out of the wine we were drinking (on a long weekend) on Saturday night and the breakfast was very average with most stuff not available after 9.00am. On the plus side, the staff were friendly.

Overall, we enjoyed the weekend away from the town, but the resort is in need of a refresh. Our room wasnt cleaned properly, the sheets were dirty, the curtains didnt completely close for full block out and we had to request additional glasware and to top it off the sink had a large cip and several cracks int it. The day spa was the highlight as it is always. Fantastic service, very tranquil and relaxing and amazing tea! There is a little sheltered area on the back of the island that would make an amazing private beach "no kids" which would be fantastic for romantic picnics and sunset dinners, just needs to be cleaner.

Best birthday ever for my son (in his words)

We were there for my son’s 5th birthday. He has the most amazing time. Thank you to all the stuff involved in making his stay memorable. From Charity who arranged out transport from town and arranging the cake and for the room to be decorated. To the chef who make the cake, the housekeeper who decorated the room. The restaurant stuff who decorated his table on the day and entertained him by listening to all his stories. The chef who adjusted the menu to cater to my allergies. You guys were all great. A few things i didn’t personally enjoy. The wifi absolutely sucks. Travelling with a small bot whose life is run by the internet i was annoyed that we had zero connectivity the entire time. Thank God for my own personal data otherwise it would have been a disaster. The stuff even pretending to go look into the matter but not actually doing to resolve it was more annoying. The restaurant stuff get overwhelmed on busy nights, take forever and are not fully attentive to the guests. Housekeeping just walks into your room without knocking. Super invasive. The reception stuff didn’t give any information at checkin. But i think it was also because we checked in with a large group so they were a bit overwhelmed as well. I had to constantly call to find out basic information they could have told me at checkin. I note the things i wasn’t so thrilled about just for their improvement. Overall we had the perfect stay. It’s just super amazing at Loloata and the stuff super friendly.

Had a wonderful time. Room was upgraded complimentary (thank you)! Pool was really nice and clean. The footpath around the island needs upgrading too. It’s a lovely walk around the island if you get a chance but the rocks are a little hard to navigate. My room was exceptionally clean and the view was spectacular. The ferry transfer was really prompt and the check in and check out process was efficient. The entertainment on Independence Day was second to none, a real PNG cultural experience! We really loved the show. All staff were very friendly especially the hotel manager, he really engages with the customers. My only criticism is that the wait staff could have brought out drinks a little quicker. Had to ask for table water a few times, and I would have expected a higher standard for an upmarket establishment such as this. Or alternatively have the water bottles on the bar so we can just grab ourselves when it’s busy. Other than that I really enjoyed visiting Loloata and can’t wait to come back.

The facilities are amazing. However, the hotel can be used by day guest (not disclosed when making a reservation) which makes the pool area crowded. Staff is not enough to enforce the pool rules like loud music, smoking towel service runs out, jumping turning the peaceful atmosphere or the rest of the hotel into an uncomfortable place to relax.
