In a word, amazing!  We have stayed on several islands during our trip and this has been our favorite by a long way.  The suite is perfect with everything clean and extremely comfortable.  The icing on the cake is the friendly, knowledgeable hosts.  Thank you so much Esa and Nancy for a highly memorable week.

Thank you for your hospitality and for making sure that our family was comfortable during our stay.
Ambala is famous for their breadfruit chips and dip.
Thank you very much for the wonderful place. It was so nice especially the pool and thank you for making us feel welcome.
Loved the place and the owners. Definitely will be back. Teens will love as it creates personal and family space.
Thank you so much. Our family has enjoyed staying here. Esa and Nancy have been very accommodating to our teenage children.

We arrived as guests but are leaving as friends. Thank you for a truly fabulous stay (but next time perhaps you could have a word with the man upstairs about the weather).

How did we ever come to have such luck, such great fortune to be Nancy and Esa’s guests in this gorgeous setting in paradise. Now if you are a guest reading this, watch out beware, Nancy’s breakfasts are absolutely amazing and you may not need to eat until its dinner time. We have travelled the world over and have never enjoyed hosts so much as we have Esa and Nancy Aatelma. Be well, be safe.

What can I say. My husband and I enjoy travelling all parts of the globe. We usually stay in boutique hotels which in our opinion are far superior in terms of accommodation and ambiance. This is certainly true for Ambala Garden Lodge who have done 100% plus to make our first stay in Rarotonga so wonderful. Thank you Esa and Nancy for making us so welcome.

Thank you for such a lovely stay at the Ambala Lodge and your kind hospitality. It has made being away from home for Christmas a lot easier. We are truly grateful for such a memorable few days. Would love to come back and visit again one day. Best wishes for the New Year.

We checked in for 2 nights and stayed for 6.  Loved Ambala Garden Lodge.  Hope to come back some time.  Esa and Nancy were fantastic hosts and we couldn’t wish for a better place to stay on Rarotonga.  See you next time.

- Bec and Scott, Luton, England

What a wonderful restful place.  Thank you for your kind hospitality.  I enjoyed our long chats in the mornings and evenings, and of course the food – including from the barbeque.  I look forward to staying here again next time.

It was a great stay at Ambala Garden Lodge.  I think we found paradise.  Thanks Nancy and Esa, you made us feel very well.  We feel we found new friends.
