Artatore accommodation from NZ$197

Beautiful location and a gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff. Was made to feel very welcome in so many ways. The hotel is thoughtfully designed in a quiet and beautiful location. The breakfast was superb.

Overall the experience was decent. Highlights about the hotel would definitely be the breakfast and the beach being so close. Restaurants around the area served good food and coffee and overall they're budget friendly. Some issues that I would like to point out would be dinner service. Other than the price being 23€ per person, that doesnt include drink service, other than the limited amount of juice on display. You can of course buy drinks but the price was quite high with a 5% service charge being tacked on with it. Spent 8.40€ for 2 apple juices for example. Compared to breakfast I must say this was a total dissapointment in my eyes. Another issue I would like to note, hopefully this was only my experience, but my girlfriend and I both contracted food poisoning from what we believe were the sandwiches in the to-go lunch boxes that we received upon departure from the hotel. Lukcily no big issue as we both recovered within 3 days, and of course, no hospital visit. Beds were okay overall. They kept sliding around when we moved a little in our sleep. Had to use my suitcase to wedge one side to prevent movement. The walk to the beach is quite close, but coming back is definitely a small workout if youre unprepared, as there is lots of stair climbing. Most shops are away from the area of the island and would require either a car or long walk to town to get to. To close this out, the overall experience was decent with some highs, lows, and some in between.
