Would go back
Very good. Many positives. Not cheap but worth the extra $ to have a beach view room imo. Nice people running and operating it. all very friendly and relaxed. The biggest and easiest improvement would be to upgrade breakfast. It's a very basic continental and could be so much better with some small improvements. The office closes early as well and whilst you have the owner's number if you need anything you tend not to want to disturb him (or at least I didnt) for general info etc.

We stayed at Manuia Beach 30 years ago, and returned for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The new OTB restaurant was popular, and dinner bookings were necessary. Continental breakfast included, cooked breakfast available also. Poolside dining for lunch available. Several other dining options available within walking distance. In House tours and transport to market. Grounds maintained every day. Always seating around the pool area. Adults only hotel (over 16 age cut off) so very relaxed and quiet while we were there. Thank you Ross and all your lovely folks who took care of us so well.

Manuia Beach Resort is the best resort! We will not stay anywhere else when visiting Raro. The staff are the best and provide friendly excellent service. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking with white sand all around the resort and an infinity pool overlooking the crystal clear lagoon/ocean. Cannot rate Manuia any higher!!

The Manuia Resort is a fantastic place to stay. The staff are really friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. It's quiet and has no children, a plus for me. Beautiful infinity pool, snorkels and kayaks to borrow, comfy loungers to enjoy the sun or shade on the beach or around the pool. Great restaurant with a delicious range of dishes though it is expensive. Continental and cooked breakfast in the beachside restaurant was included in our clean, gorgeous room's price. The huge plus though is the location. Amazing beachfront units with palms and lush gardens from which we enjoyed the ocean and pool view as well as the passing whales. A few more and cheaper bar snack-style food offerings would make it pretty much perfect. Not the cheapest place I've stayed but I would go back in a heartbeat.

The hotel had everything you wanted for a great holiday. It was just a shame that our complimentary pick up from the airport never arrived as expected,also nobody showed us to our room and there was no goodwill gesture offered even though there was a weak apology for their mistake. Otherwise everything else was fine and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Pool was beautiful. Felt like this place was a bit oversold. There was no spa/massage as advertised. Menu at restaurant was very limited. Cocktails were less than average. Outdoor shower was interesting. Would have been nice to have an indoor shower as well.

We loved our stay at Manuia, it really is a special place. Smaller than most resorts and lovely and quiet…no kids under 16. The rooms are great, we booked beachfront which was amazing. Lovely grounds, team, and beach. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back!!
