    We loved our stay at Manuia Beach Resort. Excellent location, close to the airport and restaurants. Beautiful sunsets. Enjoyed a lovely dinner at the restaurant. Infinity Swimming pool with a view of the beach/sunset. Heaps of lounges and places to enjoy. We had scooters and this allowed a quick 5 minute ride into town. Shop across the road and scooter hire shop across the road also. Handy.

    A good family resort, beachfront. Good facilities, particularly the lovely Spa where we both had an awesome massage. Staff very friendly & helpful, breakfast was continental but could pay for cooked items. Some theme nights for dinner. Good value & great for children.

    Nice quiet bungalow, walking distance to restaurants and supermarket but away from the crowds. Muri is a great snorkelling spot. We arrived a few hours before check in and appreciated being able to leave our bags at Muri Beach resort. Staff were helpful.

    The location was really great. There were many cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The family enjoyed using the kayaks and other water gear. The staff at Muri Beach Resort were very professional and helpful. The grounds around the resort were kept very tidy. We were always greeted with a friendly kiaorana.
