Beautiful place!

Lovely resort beach, friendly and nice staff. Good tours organised by the resort. There is a healthy coral reef just on the beach with great snorkeling. The room was nice and clean, the only downside was that the room we had wasn’t very soundproof. If you are sensitive to sound the beach villas is probabaly a better option but we weren’t bothered. The facilities are beautifully designed and gives you a real polynesian feeling. We had a great and sooo relaxing stay at Return to Paradise, highly recommended! Thank you!

3 days in paradise !

AmazIng location, stunning views, this hotel sits on a private beach. I liked the beautiful rooms interior and private decks, 3 pools and different places as to choose for breakfast, lunch or dinner with shows and dances on occasions. Staff is friendly, trying to make you feel well all the time with a big smile on their faces, girls a nice flowers on their hair. . I just was a bit disappointed not finding a fresh coffee included for breakfast, missing a more consistent items like bread other than white, cheese, tropical fruits usually found on 4 stars hotels.

Allan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My family had a wonderful stay at this hotel in 3 bedrooms villa for 7 days where the relaxed ambience and tropical vibe made for the perfect getaway. The lush garden surrounding the property added to the serene atmosphere, and the ocean view was absolutely stunning, providing a peaceful backdrop throughout my stay. The service was exceptional—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make my experience memorable. The food, while delicious, is a bit on the pricier side, but given the quality and the beautiful setting, it’s worth it for a special treat. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature, with a level of service that really makes you feel at home. Highly recommend!

Serenity

The beauty of the white sand, the waves crashing against the shore, the clearness of the blue water, made this trip so relaxing and serene. It was off season, but the hotel and staff served us well, friendly smiles all around, Mele at the spa worked her magic with my massage and facial, food and drinks offered were tasty and we had a great stay, would definitely come back on a future trip.

Siitu, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort exceeded my already high expectations. The check in process was easy and I was escorted to my room. I had a beach front suite, doors that opened out to the sea and white sand. The food was always excellent, cocktails nice and strong and the restaurant staff always very attentive. In general, all resort staff were so friendly, welcoming and would go above and beyond to make sure my stay was exceptional. You can book tours through the resort and I’d definitely recommend doing this. Very much enjoyed my stay, will recommend to all friends and I’ll hope to come back some day.
