wi-fi issues

spa experience

the spa treatment was a clear joke, not at all setup for what I paid for, also, if I had known the Wi-Fi was going to be out, I wouldn’t have bothered coming here, you'd think a so-called 'resort' could manage that. was hoping for an upgrade or complimentary service, but alas, just regular treatment. disappointing!

Amazing views from the Deluxe 2 Bedroom Chalet, but the room was a bit dated and the breakfast eggs were not great. Would have loved better attention to detail! 😕

Amazing views and helpful staff!

We had a fantastic night! The villa was super comfy and had the most breathtaking view. The staff were so friendly, especially when they offered to shuttle our kids around in a golf buggy! The only thing that bothered me was the noise from the beach bikes. The restaurant was great too, loved the fresh menu options.

Our family with five teens had a blast exploring Waiuku township. We enjoyed the stunning ocean views during our stay, and the activities like claybird shooting kept everyone entertained. The restaurant staff were super welcoming, making dining an enjoyable experience.

My kids wished for more convenient transport around the resort.
