Third Time at Lagoon View Resort
Reviewed By Kevin PThe resort has expanded since my last visit. There are new rooms and a big dining hall and a new kitchen. Timae and his family are fabulous hosts. The food is simple but plentiful and well prepared. If someone catches tuna there is fresh sashimi every day. Rooms are clean and if you shower in the afternoon after coming back from fishing there is warm water. The internet works most of the time but the bandwidth is limited. The boats, boatmen and guides that we had were first-rate and the three of us caught lots of fish. Overall a great experience.
2. Dreamers Guest House
Overall Ratings
5 based on 26 reviews
Friendly family run beach side guest house with stunning views of the 3 islets in our ocean facing bay. Halfway between Tarawa's urban centers set back from the main road in quiet gardens. Solar powered desalination for reliable power and pure water. Spacious en-suite rooms with a shared beach side veranda. Kayaks, bicycles, snorkels and masks available.
Tarawa adventure
Reviewed By Roger HI enjoyed 8 days at'Dreamers' in November 2019, on my Pacific adventure of a lifetime. Breakfasts and dinners on the veranda with its breathtaking view were wonderful. Richard and Beta are very accommodating hosts. Richard answered my many questions on Tarawa geography, history and culture, and invited me along on a food-shopping trip from one end of South Tarawa to the other, even indulging my request to stop and examine the geologically fascinating 'beachrock'! Unforgettable. Thank you Richard.

Affordable and friendly staff
Reviewed By adila610Laid back environment with friendly staff. Free wifi for a day. Have laundry services. They can also arrange for airport pickup and drop off for free. Free breakfast also included. But very far from main shopping areas
4. Utirerei Motel

We are an accommodation provider (motel with 28 rooms) and are located in Ambo Village. We have offer rooms at varying price points as follows: 8 standard rooms 12 de luxe rooms 2 executive suuites 2 self contained apartments (ideal for long stays), and 4 overwater de luxe rooms. We also operate a restaurant and bar, and convenience store, and also offer catering for special functions, banquet and meeting facilities on the premises too.
Lovely buffet in the restaurant, but wish they had not cancelled our rooms
Reviewed By cteague1We enjoyed a fine lunch at this motel during our three day stay in Kiribati. Unfortunately, the manager arbitrarily decided to cancel our longstanding reservation for four people right at the last minute. This meant that our Tarawa based tour organisers had to find an alternative at very short notice. Given we had come from very faraway, we did not appreciate this gesture and can only speculate that our three rooms went to a higher bidder. A real shame. Unprofessional hotel, excellent food.

Significant effort to make it your best experience
Reviewed By FuzzytopGiven the remoteness of Kiribati, and the relative difficulty of getting supplies, food, and amenities to the island, I believe Ikari House has it down. They provide great food (mostly flown in weekly from HNL, where they have an employee hand pick staples and items for guests. During my week stay there, food was plentiful, deliciously prepared, and fresh. Accommodations were as good or better than other "fish camp" locations I've been to, and real effort is made to ensure you're comfortable. Each room appears to be the same, and the only difference is it's location -- not important. A/C in each room, and plenty of cool. Couldn't believe I didn't see one bug or critter in or around my room. No nasty smells, no noise, and a nice beach location. Fishing, guiding, and boats are really first class, and the guides are really well trained and most speak enough English to more than get by. Center console boats get you to the far side of the lagoons quickly, and I believe only Ikari has the only fast boats for their clients Great experience -- couldn't expect anything more. Oh, and the fishing is fabulous!!

Bonefish Flyfisher Paradise
Reviewed By bobmonaghanBooked through Yellow Dog Outfitters. Fantastic flats fishing for Bonefish, Trevally and other fish spiecies. The Villages Lodge is well run. Clean accommodations. Excellent guides! One per fly fisher. Put you on fish. Meals are well prepared and you make your own lunch sandwich. Staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. If you want a great experience, fly fish with the Villages on Christmas Island.

Just too rustic for me
Reviewed By cteague1We stayed just one night in one of the over water bures. The long walkway had broken slats and raised nails. Luckily, they carried our suitcases for us. A single striplight (No 2 was removed) stopped bumping into anything during the night. When the tide is out, the smell of the sand is not pleasant. Mattress was rock hard and my back was sore next day. Food was pretty basic and rotten. Beautiful setting, but surrounded by squalid shanty town with penned in pigs and all many of debris strewn everywhere, a busy boatyard and an interesting clam farm whose owner was quick to charge 10 AUD a head to see for 15 minutes even though he had to rush off to a meeting and could not guide us. Litter and debris strewn everywhere in the immediate area where you get the small boat over to the other side. This was an interesting experience and the photos look amazing, but it is far from comfortable. The toilet and shower blocks are some way from the accommodation. Take your own soap and towels if possible. We did walk over to the other side to swim but were warned to stay close to the lodge due to the wild dogs there. The water stays shallow even at high tide and there is nothing to see. The waves at the hear me of the inlet look very rough and would make any search for coral inadvisable.

Great lunch spot near the Kiribati Government Offices
Reviewed By 87_IronmanJust at the eastern end of the Betio Causeway at the roundabout. Lunch served al day. Burgers, Curries all tasty and prepared reasonably quickly. Enough variety for a couple of lunches with different options each day. Best food I found anywhere on Tarawa
9. Sunset Horizon Motel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
Sunset Horizon Motel is located just meters from the beach (where beautiful sunsets on the horizon with white sandy beach can be enjoyed), in the heart of Ronton Village on Kiritimati (Christmas) Island with a perfect view of the ocean.
All that's needed
Reviewed By Ludi67I stayed for six weeks and my experience was really good. The lodge is very well located, close to the village, small shops and straight on a beach. The rooms are very spacious, have AC, fridge, ensuite, a small table and comfy beds. There is also 24h security / reception but am not sure if that is really needed. My meals were good and included plenty of vegetables after asking for them. The staff plus management were very attentive and did a great job! I would surely stay again. From what I have heard, it is one of the best places to stay on the island.
10. Tarawa Boutique Hotel

Tarawa Boutique Hotel is a newly opened property right in the heart of Tarawa's capital, Bairiki. With all major ministries within walking distance, it is the perfect spot for visiting expatriates on business trips to Tarawa and of course for the curious traveler.
Really good price
Reviewed By conallc2015Really good price when you consider that the other hotels on the island are way more expensive. It is really close to beaches, a supermarket and some restaurants. The Wifi didn't really work, but all the same I was happy with the deal that I got.
