Our stay at this wonderful resort was an absolute delight! The manager greeted us with milk and cookies upon our late arrival, which was a lovely touch. The room was spacious and had stunning views over the harbour, and the beach access was super convenient. We truly enjoyed our time relaxing there, although it would have been nice to have more dining options on-site. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxing getaway, especially with family or friends.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Paku Lodge. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-stocked, making our family very comfortable. The stunning views and easy beach access were major highlights. The only downside was dealing with mosquitoes at night, and the lack of air conditioning could be a concern during warmer nights. Overall, it was great value for money and a lovely experience!

I had a wonderful stay at the lodge! The location is stunning with beautiful views of the harbor, and the facilities are great. The room was spacious and well-equipped, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The only downside was the need for better mosquito protection, as I had to keep the windows shut at night. Overall, it’s a fantastic value for money and I felt incredibly welcomed by the staff.

I had a fantastic experience at Paku Lodge! The room was spacious and well-equipped, offering stunning views. The staff were very accommodating, allowing for an early check-in which I really appreciated. However, it was a bit unfortunate that the weather didn’t cooperate, making it hard to enjoy the balcony. Overall, great value for money with beautiful surroundings.
