Lonely Planet review

This excellent place offers a choice of modern motel-style units, detached one and two-bedroom villas, and several deluxe split-level thatched bungalows nearer the road, all set around a peaceful private garden awash with flowering shrubs and fruit trees.If you're after comfort and all the mod-cons, the 'at-ground' bungalows are one of the best options on the island, especially for families, with roomy kitchens and living rooms, spacious verandahs and your own virtually private garden - a real home away from home. The deluxe villas nearer the road are decorated in a more imaginative and individual style, with wooden floors and traditionally-themed interiors, and the cosy upstairs bedrooms (complete with private balconies) are super-romantic. Best of all is the glorious three-bedroom villa over on the other side of the island at Muri Beach, which comes complete with its own private pool, designer kitchen and kikau gazebo. Offering both the facilities of a large resort (tennis-court, pool, BBQs) and the personal attention of a small boutique hotel (complimentary fresh fruit, tropical breakfasts and on-site tour desk), Lagoon Lodges combines the best of both worlds - and unlike many other upmarket places on the island, a week's stay isn't going to break the bank.
