Top Mele Hotel Reviews

Iririki Island Resort & Spa

Iririki Island Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"The property takes about 30 minutes to walk around. The Azure Restaurant has a very good buffet breakfast with lots of variety, however it is not close to all rooms. Some are a bit of a walk away. There is also food at the Sunset bar. The roads need some maintenance as there are pot holes. This property is not suitable to people using walking sticks or walkers. I would suggest that the property management look at putting some electric buggies for hire, or some speed limited electric bikes for hire with strict compliance rules. Getting around was the one thing I felt needed upgrading. There is work going on to add additional rooms to the property."

"The staff at the now re-named Beach resort are certainly some of the friendliest in a country where friendly staff are generally the norm. The road to get here is a potholed disaster but it’s worth it.Lovely true Island style huts set In wonderful gardens with a very good restaurant and since new aust owners the free hot breakfast is back. With a nice beach frontage as the new name suggests this is our 4th stay and definitely looking at next year again"
