Nice decorated spacious room indoor and outdoor settings with plants around for privacy. Good Drying clothes lines right outside the room. Comfortable beds with air conditioner and quiet area. Good swimming pool, nice garden. Handy for meals next door at Nautilus hotel. Walking distance to Night Market, attractions and activities. Stay for 7 nights, although it’s self service it will be nice for one complimentary house keeping just vacuum the floor and charge dry towels as the room is not cheap. Good stay!

A lovely quiet resort on the lagoon. Pool is away from the beach which makes it perfect when the wind is up in the lagoon. Small pool, quiet resort. Good for small families with older, quiet kids and/or couples. No restaurant but options nearby. Bar is open weather permitting. Staff friendly and very helpful. Our flight was cancelled and they gave us a late check out and helped us to find alternate accomodation as the Island was almost full.

Directions for guests arriving on late flights using a rental car were a bit problematic but are now resolved after constructive recommendations and discussion with their delightful and cooperative management. Fantastic location right on the edge of the spectacular Muri lagoon and plenty of kayaks, SUPs, goggles, snorkels available for guest use. The restaurant does excellent breakfasts and dinners.

A Hidden Gem

This is where our Cook Island Adventure began. We were welcomed by Waka at the airport. Our bungalow was IMMACULATE. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We loved the laid back vibe of Muri Beach Resort and the accessibility to coffe shops and convenient stores. Our favorite outing throughout our stay in the Cook Islands was our island tour with Waka. He not only is super informative about the island, culture and history, but he truly takes pride in his work. Even upon returning from Aitutaki we saw him at the airport. It was like seeing an old friend. Muri Beach Resort may not be as highly rated as the other places we stayed in the Cooks, but it was definitely our favorite!

Great Muri Location

We stayed here pre COVID and I think the property has been neglected a bit since then. Still an awesome location and good sized villas but the bed was uncomfortable and the queen seemed small. Very quiet and family friendly and great being able to go next door to the Nautilus for dinner and Spa

Muri Beach is one of the most beautiful parts of the island, and this resort is walking distance from a lot of places (Captain Tamas, convenient store, market etc as well as other resorts). Staff was really friendly and helpful. Only 2 comments/suggestions: 1) Swimming pool needs to be lit up at night, it's very dark and dangerous. 2) Our beds were really soft, old and uncomfortable (springs hurt)
