My partner and I just enjoyed a wonderful six-day escape at Manuia Beach Resort. The atmosphere was incredible, perfect for adults looking for a getaway. The friendly and accommodating staff made our stay truly special, and we loved the spacious and clean room - especially the outdoor shower! On the flip side, we wish there were a few more organized tours to explore the area in-depth. Overall, we can't wait to go back!
