Beautiful resort - villas are right on the beach, with amazing views. Great snorkelling right off the beach in front of the resort. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Food was consistently delicious. Highly recommended

Amazing beach at the doorstep

The beach out the front was the highlight, amazing coral, fish and turtles. Was great as there was a stand up a paddle board, kayak and various rock shoes. Rooms are quite new, spacious and clean. Trent our host was lovely and the tuna sashimi and cocktails were the highlight. I wouldn’t say it’s is a 5 star resort as at times the food was a bit overcooked, our bedroom blind was missing and no aircon (which wasn’t an issue) so windows may be open for bugs to enter. These are minor things and it’s an amazing experience for a night or two as the incredible beach speaks for itself!

Beautiful spot with great snorkeling metres from your cabin, amazing food prepared by the local team, walks, kayaks, local village life, options to explore other islands by boat and driving distance to local beauty spots. New resort that's off to a strong start and more developments and amenities planned through sustainable collaboration with the local community. Super relaxing 😌

Superb location, right on the beach with beautiful view of Lelepa Island and very good snorkelling. Protected from prevailing winds. Easy access to dive and tour operators. Terrific large brand new units. So nice and quiet! Fantastic staff and owners, very good food.

Beautiful beach views day and evening with incredible sunsets and easy access to snorkelling on a UNESCO protected reef. Wonderful self contained accommodation with the option to enjoy meals and drinks in an open air shared dining space. Menu specials changed daily in relation to locally sourced produce. Attentive staff and excellent hosts Steve and Dave who made our stay incredibly special with their bubbly personalities and willingness to assist with any and all aspects of our holiday stay.

We loved our stay at M Resort & Spa. We stayed for a week and had the best time. Amazing snorkelling and beach area. The restaurant was fantastic. A mix of local food with a modern Asian feel. We tried a few different dishes. And all were excellent. The villa we stayed in was next level. Luxury accommodation. Comfortable. Everything you could want. The staff were all so lovely. It’s so quiet and peaceful there. There is also the resort dog ‘Coco’ who is so much fun. It is handy to have your own transport as it is a little bit off the main road. But you can walk into the local village and there is a small store there. We will definitely stay there again.

Our experience at M Resort was truly unforgettable. This little gem provided the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. We spent most days snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, unwinding by the pool, and exploring exciting day trips that made our stay even more special. The resort staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. One of the highlights was their help in organizing a stunning sunset dinner on the beach, which was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. That being said, there were a few areas that could use some improvement. Housekeeping could be more thorough, as we noticed a persistent odor in the bathrooms, kitchen sink, and toilets. Additionally, given the high humidity, fresh towels every couple of days would have been much appreciated, as our towels never fully dried. Despite these minor setbacks, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend M Resort for a relaxing and adventure-filled getaway. With a little extra attention to housekeeping details, this place would be absolutely perfect!

Stayed for 5 nights. We liked the ocean views with the island across the water. Great snorkeling and swimming but would require close supervision for children. Reef shoes a must. Very scenic outlook from villa deck. The open undercover dining area was great with a scenic outlook over the water. Surrounding rain forest is great too. Quiet areas with the small amount of guests in a secluded area. Staff are local who were very friendly Stand up paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling gear and limited reef walking shoes available which is good. Some of the standup paddle boards were deflated and need attention. Window louvre missing in hall What we didn’t like. The resort is labeled as an eco resort which is commendable in today’s environment. Our visit was early November with 29 temps during the day with high humidity day and night. There is no air conditioned rooms in any villas. There is no insect screens on any windows so windows could not be opened at risk of insects and bugs coming in through windows while sleeping to get breeze. Most nights were humid with no breeze. There are ceiling fans which gave a little respite from the humidity so didn’t make for a comfortable sleep. Beds are comfortable. Menu is basic. Limited options for vegetarians but we were accommodated. We were disappointed with quality of food overall. For example we ordered fresh lime juice and got a glass of lime mixer cordial. No condiments in kitchen apart from tea coffee pod machine, and sugar.

A Peaceful Escape with Heartfelt Hospitality

M Resort & Spa is a fantastic getaway if you’re looking to avoid the crowds at the larger resorts. It’s quieter, more intimate, and the food quality really stands out, fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. One of the most touching things was how much the owners care about their resort dog, Coco. They had the vet visit multiple times, and it’s clear the entire team is compassionate and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of everyone, including the animals. If you don’t bring snorkeling gear, don’t worry they have plenty available for guest use. While you can snorkel right from the resort and even spot turtles passing by in the distance, I highly recommend a trip to Top Rock for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. Just a note: skip the turtle sanctuary it feels more like a holding pen than a sanctuary. Overall, M Resort & Spa is a hidden gem. Peaceful, personal, and full of heart. I’d love to return for a work trip!
