Overview

The Nautilus Resort is a stunning resort perfect for families seeking a luxurious escape. Families love the spacious and beautiful two-bedroom villas, ideal for comfortable family stays. While the lagoon is a beautiful feature, families should note that it may not be ideal for swimming due to a lack of fish. The resort's location is also a plus, with easy access to the local market and restaurants. However, some guests have noted inconsistencies in service and room quality.

We had the 2 bedroom villa which was perfect for us with kids. Spacious and beautiful. Great location, easy to walk to market and restaurants. Lagoon is beautiful but no fish, just full of sea cucumbers so it’s not fun to walk in. Walk further down or drive to a different area for tons of fish right at your doorstep.

We stayed early February, after school holidays had ended, so was nice & relaxed, and had only one noisy kid staying there. Only one large pool and then a private plunge pool is attached to each ave. As this property caters for families/weddings etc we would not stay during school holidays or the wedding season. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast & a drink at the bar in the evening, which was fine. Ave is a good size, but bed is situated in a strange position in the room, so when entering the room from main door, looks straight onto the bed, so no privacy. Could easily moved on to the opposite wall and so retain a personal space. The entry door has a glass panel, so light shines in all night. We placed a large spare throw over the door to stop the light shining through. Staff really nice and always courteous and helpful.

We were welcomed to a beautiful room set up with fruit and champagne. We booked last minute and they were not aware we were coming so we waited a bit in the bar. The staff were nice. We saw a cockroach in our room and another couple stated the same. It’s an island we were told and it happens. We were asked to switch rooms for our last night on part of our 5 night stay. We noticed another family switched rooms too during our stay. We said we were not comfortable moving but Tatiana ended up coming to our room asking again if they provided a late check out. She looked up our flights. We felt she made their error our problem. When we arrived, we stated we were looking forward to a stress free stay. We ended up switching from room 7 to 17 but felt the room was not as nice and was near the road area. We also booked a tour with Tatiana that was 10 minutes away walking but transfers were included. I stated if it’s the last stop there and first stop back, we would like transfers given that it’s summer and going to be more dressed up. We did not want to walk in the dark as it ended late. She did not ask and booked it with no transfer. We asked when we arrived and were annoyed to find out that we would have been picked up last and dropped off first. I left my hat at the hotel and the man working the evening dropped it off at the airport. This was amazing and I was very thankful. Overall, it was a nice stay but needs more attention to be a 4.5 star hotel.
