The location was amazing in the heart of Muri and had pool access with the beach right at your doorstep. The staff were amazing and accomodated relocating us to a ground floor room as I didn’t realise there’s no lifts on the property and my mother struggled with the stairs. Parking is conveniently located directly across the road. There’s also a washing machine and dryer available, reef shoes and snorkelling gear you can use at your leisure. The views were also amazing from both top and bottom floors as we got to experience both. Rooms were also super clean and spacious enough for 2 people with plenty of storage. Loved the space in the bathroom and the water was safe to drink from the tap. As someone who prefer easy access from the entry to your room to go and go as you please, I cannot fault this place and would highly recommend.
