"Nice little place, good cafe in front, great snorkeling from the beach"

"Pros: Great location, lovely beach access, friendly staff. Cons: Very noisy, you can hear footsteps constantly if you are not on the top floor. Made sleeping very difficult. Breakfast buffet is very limited. Pros outweigh the cons however. "

"I booked for Tia Kautai Studio but got told at check-in the unit we booked had a tenant occupyinh for another week. It wasn't available for us and even staff don't understand how that happened. We just needed a place to crash for the day before departure flight. Still happy they managed to find us a subsitute @ Kikii Inn suites which is reasonably clean and fits our family needs. We had a restful time before the night flights. Thanks"
