    Amazing Villa with just a few suggestions

    • Deluxe One-Bedroom Beachfront Villa
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The lack of curtains in the living room took away some of our privacy. At night, we felt that people on the beach could see in. We let the villa owners know on the review card, so hopefully they will add some window coverings. We also would have liked to have housekeeping come in more than once. We stayed 6 nights, and they only came in once to clean. They need another AC unit on the kitchen side of the villa. It gets hot in there, and the unit in the bedroom is not enough to keep the entire villa cool..even with the fans on. We were there in March, so it was hotter. Not the best part of the lagoon, but still pretty.

    We really loved the inside of the villa (beautifully decorated) and the private pool. All the appliances and fixtures were new and modern. We really enjoyed the shower. Having the tropical plants outside to look at was a nice touch. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything needed to cook meals. Loved that they had kayaks and snorkeling gear for us to use.

    If you want a taste of heaven, then Te Manava is a big juicy slice, it’s just fabulous. The location is excellent, and the villa was just beautiful, the quality and attention to detail was much appreciated. The staff were also excellent and very professional in all communications. A first class resort for those who appreciate the extra effort that goes into to making a stay, a treasured memory for ever. Mike and Ali Jackson. March 20225

    We had a fabulous time here. Very friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful location with a direct access to the beach. The villa had modern equippment and lots of room as well as comfortable bed and furniture. We liked the small pool on the terrace. Nice to cool down at day or watch stars in the night.

    Pool didn’t seem to be working properly and a whole heap of chlorine was dumped in during stay so couldn’t really swim that day - otherwise was fine . Didn’t really feel like “guests” at pacific resort when we went there - service as average

    Clean and spacious - enough room for 4 people and the beach access was so awesome . Staff were friendly and helpful

    Would be nice for breakfast at pasific resort to be included at least once or twice, seeing as we stayed so many nights, it would have been a nice bonus to have the breakfast included

    Air conditioning, very comfortable space, amazing pool, beach access, very private, overall staff were friendly and the cleaners were very obliging

    Was rainy season, but still enjoyable with awesome warm Private pool. Villa 1 is best choice.

    Clean modern facilities. Good for wet or dry. Right on a private beach with great snorkeling, kayaks, swimming at high tides due to coral at low, so must have reef shoes or dive boots. Villa 1 is great choice with older kids or couple with separate accommodation across pol courtyard.

    None.

    Te Manava was a private oasis, our beach front villa was literally only a step away from the beach. It was handy to have own pool and access to own snorkelling gear and kayaks. Yet, still have access to amenities such as restaurant and bar at the sister resort. It was great to have a spa treatment facility on site. The staff was extremely friendly and do take care of their guests. Special thanks to our concierge manager Vee.

    A working TVs for rainy days would have been great. We asked at reception to have someone get our TV going. I was told its not possible. My sister had a villa across the drive, she had 3 x non working TVs. I don't see the point putting them into the villas if they can not be used.. No books, No games,No pen or paper. Also frustration having to update internet.

    No breakfast was supplied
