I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were super clean and comfortable, and waking up to the stunning sunrise views from both the deck and the bed was simply breathtaking. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the market at Muri Beach and away from the crowds, offering a peaceful retreat right on the beachfront. However, the dining experience, although meeting my needs to start the day, could use some improvements, especially in the variety of options available.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious, modern, and comfortable with insanely beautiful views from both the deck and the bed. The only downside was that they weren't serviced during the weekend. The location was perfect, just a 5-minute walk to all the cafes and activities in Muri and right on Muri lagoon. The dining was simple but adequate, meeting our needs to start the day, although it would have been nice to have more local fruit available.

The dining was okay, meeting our needs to start the day, although I only tried the additional cooked breakfast once, and it was quite poor. Adding more local fruit would make it even better.
