Best place to stay. Only a few minutes walk down to Muri beach. The owner Terry takes good care of you and help you with everything. I have stayed here two times now and will be back. So lovely to eat breakfast in the beautiful garden. Everything you need for stay in the Paradise.

It's also only a 5 min bus ride to the best snorkeling place on Raro (The fruits of Raro) and a... More

Not fancy so if you are looking for a 5 stars hotel you won't get it. However, if you are looking for a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay instead of "wasting"... More

We loved the privacy, close proximity to the beach and restaurants etc. Terry was so hospitable and knowledgeable with good advice on best spots for eating, snorkeling etc. Accomodation was great value and was clean, well equipped with everything we needed. We definitely are planning to go back as soon as we can!
