Wonderful Beach Bungalow

I stayed in a beachfront bungalow that offered amazing views of the turquoise lagoon. It was spacious and included a jacuzzi, hammock, and comfortable sleeping chairs on the deck. The ambiance was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings.

Delicious Meals

The dining experience at the hotel was quite enjoyable. I found the food to be tasty, especially the seafood dishes. The restaurant also had a great ambiance, especially when we enjoyed dinner while watching the sunset. They even offered to accommodate children with off-menu requests, which was a nice touch.

Exciting Snorkeling Adventures

I absolutely loved the snorkeling trips organized by the hotel. The underwater wildlife was abundant, and I was able to snorkel right from our bungalow. The drift snorkel excursion was particularly thrilling and is a must for anyone visiting!

The hotel is a charming spot with some lovely features, like private villas and a nice beach atmosphere. While the service was friendly and the dining had its highlights, improvements are definitely needed, especially regarding comfort in the rooms and the breakfast offerings. The facilities were enjoyable, but the Wi-Fi was a letdown.

I had a great time at this resort, especially with the stunning snorkeling and the beautiful grounds. The pool and bar area were highlights for relaxation. However, I found the dining options underwhelming and some parts of the room not as well-maintained as I expected. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, but a few improvements could make it even better.

Our stay at Kia Ora was truly magical! The resort is beautifully located with an amazing beach just steps away. Our room, a pool villa, was stunning and offered complete privacy, although there were a few signs of wear and tear. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. However, we did have some issues with the internet and a couple of service hiccups. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
