Guest Reviews
- john (10/5): -
- Jason (9/5): I would recommend it, quite pricey but it’s one of the nicest resorts on the island - It was clean and the staff were lovely, the rooms were very nice and huge, and having your own little pool was handy The only thing I didn’t like was there wasn’t enough lighting in the bathroom, it made putting on make up a little hard as it’s all very dim lighting in the rooms but apart from that it was good
- Cody (9/5): Couple stay - The room size, layout and the private garden and pool. Amazing privacy
The bed was so comfortable
The staff at the restaurant were so exceptional
Food at restaurant was delicious No bottled water for guests
Airport transfer. We waited over an hour for our transfer and the people who were on board were staying at another resort despite it not being a shared transfer company
- Allen (10/5): We had an absolute ball - Fantastic Cost
- Eduardo (10/5): - LA UBICACION LA AMABILIDAD DEL PERSONAL EL HOTEL ES PERFECTO.
- Kay Potts (10/5): - If your looking at places to stay, Nautilus resort is amazing. It's clean, the staff are amazing and the restaurant is fantastic! Nothing 😃
- Ryan (8/5): -
- Debra (6/5): Generally, speaking it was a nice stay but the rooms are tired and need to be refurbished. - The staff were friendly and the location was fine. However I paid $1000 per night for a room that would only be considered 3star in Australia and there was no late check out. Didn't like that I had to pay for 5 star accommodation and only got 3 star accommodation.
- Yvonne (8/5): Heerlijk verblijf aan mooi strand - Prachtige ruime villas aan het strand en in de tuin, zeer goede service, lekker eten, mooi zwembad aan zee, zee grote badkamer met alle faciliteiten. Fruit bij aankomst en koekje in de middag zijn fijne details! Een paar kleine dingen zoals wat gaten in de klamboe. Maar geen noemenswaardige zaken. Heerlijke plek!
- Chatzigeorgiou (9/5): -
- Alana (10/5): Beautiful relaxing luxury - Amazing will definitely stay again Nothing
- john (8/5): nice stay b ut I think somewhat overpriced for what it is. - Nice boutique resort, great location, room was good size . Breakfast was good, better than dinner/lunch and staff were very pleasant. However for what it is it still pretty exe! Restaurant for lunch and dinner was hit and miss, meals were inconsistent in quality. Serving frozen fish that isn't cooked properly when there is plenty of fresh pelagic around doesn't make sense. Things also often forgotten, doesn't seem anyone is in charge of ensuring what is ordered actually gets delivered.
- Mary (10/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): -
- Richbert (10/5): -
- Lynn (8/5): - Staff were very helpful and always smiling.
We really appreciated having access to kayaks Snorkelling gear was not cleaned properly and mouldy. We couldn't use it.
- Giuliano (9/5): Consigliato - 1) Lo staff è stato eccezionale e super accogliente. Apprezzato che hanno cantato auguri di buon compleanno per la festa di mia moglie.
2)La posizione è ottima per fare il bagno.
3)La camera con la piscina privata era bella. Da migliorare però il pavimento che era molto consumato. 1) La colazione deve presentare alcune migliorie aumentando la scelta e variare ogni giorno.
2)Wi-Fi incluso era lento e non sempre prendeva
- graeme (10/5): -
- Gary (9/5): Luxury, beauty and great staff - Great location and luxury accommodation right in the beach. Quality restaurant and friendly staff
- Liz (10/5): will be back - Excellent and ample food. Staff were excellent. efficient, friendly, always happy to help. always smiling and willing.
- Jennie (9/5): Loved our stay - we will be back. - Beautiful location. Complimentary breakfast was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms slightly worn (floors). Last couple of days the room developed a very loud creak in ceiling or wall. Neighbours directly through wall were quite noisy on one night. A better, newer selection of snorkel gear and beach feet would be great. Also there was no real instruction of where to clean or return gear.
- Mark (10/5): Cook Islands are a special place in the world. - Fantastic, Spacious accomodation, Excellent food, Best Island Vibes. We both relaxed in the resort, and also explored the whole island with this as a base.
- Rob (9/5): - Breakfast was fine The weather !
- Brash (10/5): Awesome staff and rat resort, highly recommend Nautilus - Location was great, Muri Lagoon offers plenty to see and do! A bit Windy.
- Martin (9/5): Superb -
- Narelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Derek (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zda (8/5): Very good - nice location and friendly staff in need of some renovations, breakfast could use some changes so that is not same every day and be more local
- Stephen (7/5): Good -
- Simone (9/5): Superb -
- Allison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (9/5): Superb - Great location with a spacious room overlooking the lagoon. Restaurant was great. Room needs a little maintenance
- June (9/5): Superb - Loved the staff. They really make your guests feel so special. The cookie girls are the best. They are so happy and joyful. Ismah our house keeper is a gem. We'll done
- Anna (9/5): Superb -
- Michel (8/5): Very good -
- Wendy (10/5): Excellent, comfortable stay - The breakfast was scrumptious - excellent fresh muffin, cook to order omelette. Nothing to complain about.
- Shahnee (8/5): Beautiful location and beautiful resort. I don’t think we will stay here again. - The location is absolutely stunning. This was our second time staying here. Beautiful rooms and delicious food. Not all staff were attentive and friendly. There were three staff members who worked in the restaurant who were so lovely!! We remembered them from our visit last year. At times we did feel like we were a bit of an inconvenience to other staff members.
- Heather (9/5): Superb - dining room site 2nd to none as was the service and staff
breakfasts were great
BUT all the seafood dishes amzing n/a
- Paul (7/5): Beautiful spot on the beach, lovely outlook and pool area nice to relax in. - Relaxing by the big pool was awesome, lovely outlook. Breakfast only average. Rooms a bit dark for me.
- Stephanie (10/5): We loved staying at the Nautilus so much, that we revised down our plans, to have more time spent in and around Nautlius - It was so special to have our own Are (suite), with plunge pool & private outdoor area. The room was very spacious. The proximity to the beach & glorious lagoon water was incredible.
- Gansel (5/5): Good location, overpaid facility, pet friendly staff which is trying to keep up with shortages. - The staff was friendly and cared for stray dogs.
It has a good location and well-maintained landscaping.
Professional spa treatment.
Good snorkelling tour. The room—announced on Booking.com as a suite with 120 sqm—was 52 sqm, including build-ins. A staff member informed me that outdoor garden parts were included in this calculation. The information on Booking.com will be amended. A manager was supposed to come back to us to discuss this issue, but it has not happened.
The open bathroom ceiling and walls join the only room, which is challenging for an occupancy of three.
Breakfast was not restocked one hour before the finish.
Long wait time for dinner in an only half-full restaurant. After more than 90 minutes of waiting for the, meanwhile, cold fish to arrive, we then usually dined out.
Construction noise all over the place from a new deck built at the restaurant - without notice from management.
- Megan (9/5): Superb - Lovely staff. Beautiful pool and restaurant
- Atele (10/5): Incredible family stay we will be back - stunning location, incredibly convenient to night markets
- Stapleton (10/5): The staff made our stay as wonderful as the location - Layout of the rooms, spacious and comfortable. The plunge pool and out door shower. Access to the lagoon with wai sports equipment on hand. The staff were AMAZING and the location was perfect. Everything was excellent
- Amber-jade (10/5): Stunning location, amazing staff and comfortable rooms! - The resort is beautiful, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! The beach front villa with the pool was amazing, great views and was so comfortable for our family. There is nothing I could complain about at this property! Maybe only the kids menu just needed to be a little bigger for how long we stayed but that is really picking.
- Teresa (9/5): A blissful stay - We loved our stay! The rooms was super comfortable and clean and the staff were all lovely.
