Loved our stay in Niue! Staff were helpful, and great that the resort restaurant was open 7 days. Would have been great to have access to a vacuum or broom. During our stay as with visits to the beach and walks, the floor got a bit dirty.

Beautiful apartments and scenery out by the ocean. One thing, the wifi coverage was very slack. Out of our 4 days there, we probably only got to use it for 15 mins at the most on one day.

We stayed in apartment 3, the view's and the sound of the waves were amazing. Our only issues we had were... 1. The shower head was very dirty as was the toilet, we had not used any of these at this stage. 2. The attachment to the showerhead needed tightening as it spent most of our stay cleaning my feet, if you turned the pressure on to high it would lift the showerhead and spray water on to the walls out of the shower catching you off guard. 3. The pool was murky, pool deck broke under my husbands feet. The boards are rotting. 4. Get a good car. The potholes are challenging to say the least, you hear it takes an hour and a half, it took us 3 hours. All that aside, we would do it all over again, the people are friendly. The local kids performances were beautiful. Thank you for a great experience.

A week that went too quickly.
The only resort of any size on Niue island, it is a very relaxing and enjoyable environment; comfortable with out being over the top......it really adopts the island experience. Great team that seem only too willing to assist and give advice. wonderful decks for daytime relaxing or nighttime dining. Something entertaining happening each night which is excellent as if you dont have a rental car on Niue you cant really go anywhere as there is no public transport. Nice tropical breakfast, good evening menu. Great pool bar with excellent cocktails.

Pleasant place to stay
We stayed at the resort primarily out of convenience. We found everything to be more than adequate for our needs, but not fancy. Restaurant food was good, especially on umu night. (Many thanks for the bottle of sparkling wine, to help me celebrate my 70th). Pool was a great alternative on days when conditions made ocean snorkeling difficult. Full marks to the staff, who were always helpful and friendly. Recommend getting an upstairs Ocean room as the views are good. I suspect the ground level rooms could feel a bit less private. Also recommend the orientation tour as an introduction to the island. Rent a car, both for convenience and the experience of "pothole slalom" .

Hotel is build on huge coral cliffs.Because of that the beach is not accessible.There are however swimming pools. The hotel is about 5 km from the capital. If you do not rent a car the very friendly staff Will shuttle you to “down town Alofi.(= capital).There are NO ATM MACHINES. The only bank does not change foreign currency,so you must have NEW ZEALAND DOLLARS on you. At some places credit cards are accepted. The islands of Samoa and Tonga are about 500 km away,but There are NO flights from Niue to these islands.The ONLY FLIGHTS are the biweekly Airbus flights to AUCKLAND. If you want Some quiet time and do things like sending a POSTCARD,using Niue stamps,or renting a car in a country that has no traffic lights,and where the speedlimit is 25 Miles an hour GO TO NUIE.You CAN even get a Niue driving license ( showing your foreign one,and costs you NZ$ 22,50).A
