The rooms are soundproofed and in 6 nights I never heard my neighbors. The units are only about 2 years old so everything is in good shape. I did a lot of food prep rather than eat in the restaurant. The kitchen is well set up. There are stores down the road. The beach is lovely and had various lounges, tables with umbrellas and beach towels are supplied. Each unit has its own drying rack so you can get things dried pretty quickly. Laundry service is available. A/C was good although I mainly used the fan. I'm from a hot climate so the temperature was fine. My only complaint was some really noisy people with the poorly brought up children who were oblivious of others. My room was poolside and I enjoy seeing kids and families having fun. Most parents hush their kids if they're getting out of hand. This family didn't do that. It was culturally normal for them to be loud. I did go out and put an end to the three sons chasing a mother hen and her chicks. Resort Tava'e might consider an adults only area.
Good morning!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Nothing beats enjoying a glass of wine or breakfast with stunning views of the lagoon. Having complimentary swimming gear right on the beach was such a bonus, and with access to not just one but two pools, it made our time even better. The room was spotless, tidy, and very comfortable with both air conditioning and fans. Even the reception staff went above and beyond, arranging a vehicle for us—such awesome service that really exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely be back!

They didn’t notify guests of Tsunami. I assumed it wasn’t going to affect the Cook Islands. Later read there were warnings. Also a bit lax on identifying people’s luggage. Fortunately people are honest.

We got greeted at airport with lovely fresh flower Leis and transported back to hotel both ways, included in price. We stayed in lagoon view room 3. The food onsite restaurant was nice and prices were reasonable. People came from other resorts to eat at Tava’e restaurant. We didn’t use the pool’s as a little chilly in June. The sea was much much warmer. There was water equipment to use, paddle boards, kayaks etc with dedicated person to look after you all day. Island night was nice too. $80 for the smorgasbord with a small dance show afterwards. This place has everything you need here.
