Ninamu Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay here was fantastic! The resort is beautiful, in a rustic, natural kind of way. The Teahupoo bungalow is amazing with its outdoor bathroom and the multiple areas to hang out. Snorkeling out front was blissful. All the staff was super friendly and Cheffy brings extra life and love to the resort. "

8/10 Good
"The "cabins" are very crude. They don't have AC and are very dated. Having said that, it cooled off nicely in the cabin. There are gaps below door and around windows. If you are prepared for crude then it will be a good stay. You are right by the ocean and very quiet. There are bikes, kayaks and standing boards available for use. The meals were very good too. It was a good experience. Just don't expect fancy at all. "
