Daily afternoon cocktails on the lagoon

I walked straight from my beach front room onto the lagoon to use the complimentary kayaks and paddle boards. Every afternoon at three, I enjoyed a cocktail and a canapé at the bar. My breakfast included a fresh cooked option each morning before I spent time by the pool. I stayed for four nights in a space set directly on the beach at Muri.

Complimentary kayaks on the lagoon

I used the complimentary kayaks on the lagoon right outside my bungalow during my stay. Milk, juice, coffee, and sugar came supplied in my kitchen for easy breakfasts each morning. I spent time on my verandah watching the sunrise before I walked to the nearby night markets. This adults-only hotel features a pool and direct beach access for all five villas.

Snorkeling gear in every bungalow

I stayed in a beachfront bungalow just steps from the lagoon, where I used the complimentary snorkel gear and kayaks provided. My bungalow had an outdoor shower and a private deck facing the water. The resort restaurant served fresh meals daily, and I found the adults-only policy made the entire hotel quiet throughout my stay.

Second toilet in the main villa

I stayed in a two-bedroom villa that held two bathrooms, including a second toilet tucked off the main bedroom. During the mornings, I read the local newspaper in the dining area while I ate cereal and toast at breakfast. A communal television sat nearby for me to watch. I spent my afternoons swimming in the large pool.
