Perfect!

We stayed at Nautilus for 7 nights. It was amazing! The friendly staff were all fantastic, room and view was awesome and food was delicious. They supply kayaks and snorkel gear so we spent plenty of time exploring the beautiful lagoon. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks so much for an amazing week in paradise!

Fantastic

Had a wonderful 3 night stay. Beautiful resort. Great pool and facilities. Very friendly staff. A very good breakfast. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend this place. The plunge pool outside each room is a real treat!

large luxurious room with private plunge pool

Location: close to muri shops, car hire, restaurants and away from beach foot traffic overlooking a lovely island. great kayaks and sup boards in good condition
Lovely and quiet exempt of roosters and dogs, suite was comfortable and we loved the private plunge pool. The complex is exceptionally clean and tidy. The main pool is located directly in front of the dining area and attracted noisy children every night so we did not dine at the restaurant. The breakfast staff and bar staff were slow and forgetful and the reception very unhelpful which let down the facility. I left my iphone charger by the bed but apparently no cleaning staff or anyone ever saw it and it is gone for good. Unfortunately we struck 2 power cuts during our stay and experienced torrential rain but no umbrella in the suite. Premium prices were warranted for the room and location and privacy but service personnel gave poor first impressions.

Great location!

We had a beautiful garden room with huge courtyards both front and back to catch the morning and afternoon sun (#13). Complete with plunge pool, garden shower (which I also enjoyed in the evenings) and surrounded with magnificent tropical plants including coconut, banana and paw-paw trees. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The cleaning is not perhaps the standard we are use to but the who cares when the staff are doing their best. The restaurant staff were fabulous; always cheerful and helpful, and know just how we liked our coffee. The beachfront units certainly have great views but I also loved the privacy and quietness of our Garden Are. Great location for swimming, kayaking and SUP. Easy work to other restaurants and coffee shops and while we had a car to enjoy exploring you could manage without.
