Muri Beach Club Restaurant

Muri Beach Club Restaurant

The restaurant is inside the hotel complex which, in turn, has a massage and beauty spa service. SETTING The decoration of the place has an excellent taste. The location is one of the best on the entire island. With the islets of Muri in front of the beach, the view is paradisiacal. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool with lounge chairs. The internal space of the pool is framed by the mountains and has a very good selection of themes in its functional music.SERVICE The bartenders and service staff are very friendly and helpful. Regarding the massage service, although it is not the objective of this post, it is regular, I do not recommend it. FOOD & MENU In special events with a buffet or with starter, main course…

On The Beach -OTB-

AMBIENCE The OTB esthetic is very nice. With an island-style, thatched roof, nice tables and chairs. The tables are covered by white tablecloths, with cloth napkins, decorated with blue led lights inside bottles, double cutlery service for the entrance, the main course and the dessert.

Toa Moana Beach House

Toa Moana Beach House

Toa Moana is a two-bedroom Airbnb rented house in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. A few meters from the house you can find a passage with turtles, rays and thousands of fish of different colors. You have to be very careful and visit the passage only at low tide because the currents are very strong and can drag you into the open ocean, even with flippers it's extremely difficult to compensate the strengh of nature. INSTALLATIONS The house has two rooms with double beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom/laundry room, a large living room with ocean views and a beautiful deck also with an incredible view. The height of the construction is optimal to have the best possible perspective over the ocean. On the ground floor, we can find a table and…

The Rarotongan

The Rarotongan

On your trip to Rarotonga, Cook Islands, it's interesting to visit the different hotel establishments besides its beautiful beaches. Here we go with the review of the restaurant located at The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium, one of the most traditional hotels on the island. The coral reef in front of the hotel constitutes a marine reserve (Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve), making it an excellent place to snorkel. AMBIENCE The restaurant's space faces the ocean so the view is unbeatable. However, the decoration would need a restyling, the colours of the furniture, railing and deck are not the best. The place does not have functional music either. The hotel has kayaks and stand up paddles to take a ride in the lagoon, which is an excellent alternative to do before…

Carnivore

Carnivore

One of the activities you can do on a stopover in Nairobi is to go for an exotic meal at Carnivore, a well-known Kenyan restaurant. There you will be able to order a good wine with crocodile meat, venison, pork or beef. AMBIENCE Considering that we were in Kenya, the setting is acceptable. The waiters have colorful costumes. Outside, the tables facing the garden are more pleasant but surrounded by mosquitoes, and as we decided not to take malaria pills due to their adverse effects, we decided to sit inside the restaurant. SERVICE Their staff is very friendly, always smiling and attentive to customer needs. MENU & FOOD We expected more, but we liked to try game meats anyway. The crocodile meat was undercooked, it seemed to have been reheated…
