Muri Beach Resort

This resort is relaxed and basic but welcoming and peaceful. There is a small reception with a friendly welcome and on-site free parking. The rooms are around 20 villas spread out over quite a large area with a decent size central pool at which there are BBQ facilities. There is a guest laundry you can pay to use or they will do a load for you. We were in a 2 bedroom villa which was spacious and comfortable with a living room, dining area, small deck with loungers and a kitchen which has most basic utensils, a microwave and a gas 2 burner. The bathroom had a shower and a full bath with jets. The area of the beach isn’t as nice as other parts of Muri with rocks and **** straight off the beach, but there is a nice view of the nearby island which you can wade to. The snorkelling nearby isn’t the best, but there is a spot to the right of the island which is OK, but only OK. They have kayaks and SUPs available as well as snorkelling gear and reef shoes. At the beach there is a bar which is sometimes open in the afternoon and serves very basic drinks - low quality Australian wines, basic beers and spirits. There’s no restaurant on site but you can charge back from the sister resort Nautilus (although that restaurant was not great and certainly not for the prices it charged). The resort wifi is fine for emails and websites and you can upgrade to premium for a price if you need to. All in all this was a good place to stay and we would return as it’s a good option for families with kids. The staff were very friendly and learned our son’s name.

Muri Beach Resort was the perfect place to relax. It felt as though we had the whole place to ourselves because there is no bar/restaurant to attract tourists from other resorts. This was no problem... as we were in close walking distance to lots of cafes, bars etc anyway. Our favourite eating place however was having our own BBQ by the pool. Magic! You will need to make a trip to a supermarket early on to do this... the staff were happy to help with this and we felt that they went out of their way to make us comfortable, providing transport to the market, a church service and generally going above and beyond. The location is wonderful with the beautiful lagoon right there for activities such as snorkling, kyaking and paddle boarding (all equip avail for free) or just gazing out at the stunning view or walking along the beach. We felt at home and relaxed from the moment we were picked up from the airport. We would come back again in a heartbeat. "Meitaki" Muri Beach Resort!!!!

We had a great time staying at Muri Beach Resort. It has a great homey feel. Made at the front desk is so helpful and attentive. He made our trip amazing. He booked all of our excursions and our spa experiences. I would definitely go back and stay there again. It’s so great having a nicely equipped kitchenette. Thank you Made.

Muri Beach Resort was a comfortable, modern and family friendly property. The room was clean and well maintained. Pool area was beautiful and relaxing. The beach that is right at the back of the property is beautiful and leisure equipment such as stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, snorkels and reef-shoes were all available and well maintained. Guests have access to facilities such as the restaurant at the adjacent sister property, Nautilus. The view from the restaurant is stunning and the breakfast buffet and quality of dinner food were amazing. We also used the Nautilus spa and the massages were fantastic. Staff throughout the property, starting with our first impression of Waqa greeting us at the airport, to Janet in the restaurant, to the cleaning staff and office staff, were all very friendly and helpful. Of note is that we came in on the JQ flight from Sydney that arrives quite early in the morning (well in advance of 14:00 check-in). We were warmly welcomed, shown to the restaurant for breakfast and offered towels and a place to change to enjoy the pool while our room was prepared. And the staff turned our room around by 12:00, 2 hours before check-in time. Between a great airport transfer and this check-in experience, what a way to make a great first impression! Other great part of this location is its proximity to great businesses within walking distance or a short bus ride. Lots of quality bars, restaurants, bakeries, cafes, cultural museum and other cultural experiences, Muri night markets, snorkelling, gardens, lagoon tours, to name a few.

Staff absolutely superb, friendly and helpful Van drivers were very informative. Bungi needs a little more knowledge on the 7 canoes travel to.New Zealand. Waka's entertaining ability is brilliant. Also very helpful with pock ups and tours.

Very nice villa right on the beachfront, but this did mean people walking through to get to the beach all the time. A little bit windy, but this can be a good thing when it's hot and humid. Well-serviced, the staff were great and always on the job making the resort look stunning. The rooms were just a little in need of upgrade, but on the whole, very comfortable. It seemed like a great place for families and kids clearly enjoyed themselves. The happy hour (3-5pm) was brilliant, the cocktails yummy, the view hard to beat and the restaurant was really good, breakfasts especially! Great staff too! We hired a nippy little 2-seater to explore the island with. Great!
