Just back from a week in Tingaki, but I'm afraid I'm not converted! The Sunny Days apartments were clean and friendly, but much more than 500 metres from the beach as stated! Beware, not all apartments have air conditioning, and it's only on from 5pm to 2am, and only if they don't have a power cut or if they remember to switch it on! Air conditioning costs 40 euros for a week, no refunds if it doesn't work! We had a late flight home (2am) and it cost us 30 euros to get a late checkout room which I thought was a bit steep.

Rubbish flight times, both directions, and no in-flight movie or even TV repeats to occupy us during the long, boring journey! My partner ordered a vegan meal and was assured it would be provided, but was given an inedible vegetarian meal instead both times. Never saw the rep, we slept in for our welcome meeting due to arriving at an ungodly hour of the morning! The plane (BMI) was roomy and comfortable though, lots of leg room for a change. Transfer in was shambolic, no bus available for us. Transfer back was fine.

It was unbearably hot in Tigaki, we are just back from a week there and were glad to leave! The promised wind was great for the first two days then just disappeared! I'd be more likely to go at in June, it's just too much in July. Mosquitos are brutal as well, especially when there's no wind!

We initially tried this restaurant because it was close to the Sunny Days apartments, but we loved it! My partner is vegan and the staff were great in suggesting vegan options for him. They even cooked him a vegan pizza, which was delicious! Highly recommended, although I did get bitten quite badly by mosquitos every time I visited.
