Little Polynesian Resort
Unbelievable service — Florence and the staff made us feel like family, always greeting us by name (and even with hugs!). Our beachfront bungalow was spotless and comfortable with stunning views. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the location right on the beach is perfect. Highly recommend ...

Raina Holiday Accommodation
It totally served the purpose. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, and an excellent location. Not only just over the road from the beach, but a very popular restaurant was only a short walk away. We would go back again to Raina Holiday accommodation.

There was cockroach poo in the cutlery drawers, and the toaster didn’t work, but other than that everything was fine.

The room was clean but it’s time for a tune up - especially the bathroom.
