Why Travelers Love Nuku Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I arrived promptly at 12 pm when they opened for lunch - my Caesar salad with prawns took over 1 hr to be served - and that was AFTER I complaint for the slow service after everyone around me had been served! Once it arrived the food was good Fantastic vibe. Beachside or indoor seating with beautiful views. Wide variety of dining options. The buffet breakfast is great! Hosts and waiters are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Hard to believe that this restaurant is in a 5 star resort. We arrived at 1pm for lunch, while we were waiting for our room to be ready. Plenty of available seats. We waited for a few minutes for someone to acknowledge us before we found our own seat. We then waited several more minutes and nothing. There were 4 or 5 staff members standing at the desk chatting. I went over and explained we seated ourselves, could we have a menu? Once we had the menus and had ordered we waited about 25 minutes for our food. Food was good, not great. We were never offered water. I attempted to make eye contact several time to get water, but ended up drinking the warm water from our drink bottle. Service was pretty appalling. I wouldn't recommend this place. Really bad first impression of the resort.

Food was delicious. Sandflies on the right side were quite bad, apparently left side is better.

The staff are such incredibly beautiful people who go out of their way to ensure that you feel comfortable and relaxed. Adi, Joe,and all the team provided such excellent service and made us feel like royalty, rather than just another paying customer. Besides that, the view from here is absolutely beautiful any time of the day, and we are already looking forward to returning here for another holiday.
