Recent reviews present a mixed but generally positive picture:
Pros: Many guests praise the excellent hospitality, the amazing house reef with abundant marine life (sharks, mantas, turtles), and the rustic, authentic island atmosphere. The location rating is high (approx. 8.6/10), and the resort is only 36.5 km from Maamigili Island Airport.
Cons: Some recent reviews (early 2025) report negative experiences regarding service quality, with specific complaints about a resort manager and room conditions being below expectations. A few guests noted issues with booking processes through third-party agents.
Prices typically start from around $200 USD per night, though rates vary by season and booking platform. The resort is smoke-free and does not allow pets
