I too am puzzled by some of the negative comments. I stayed for a weekend in September 2009, with a colleague while we were in Tarawa on business. We shared one of the over-water buias. The room was comfortable, made from traditional building materials and using traditional construction techniques. It was sparsely but adequately furnished. The staff, and in particular... More

While in Tarawa for 3 weeks, I went walking in North Tarawa twice and both times stopped for a delicious meal in lovely surrounds at Tabon te Keekee (up to broken bridge where it is meant to be cleaner water for swimming). I had friends who stayed here in the over lagoon bungalows on the weekend and while pricey I... More

We are at a loss to comprehend the negative comments of some European visitors. The accommodation while not that of a resort, is as described in the website and by tourist operators. The people were friendly, the food excellent, the accommodation clean and spacious, and the hygiene of the establishment was equivalent to that of a resort. We went to... More

We have been travelling for 5 weeks in the South Pacific region from beginning of May until mid-June 2010 and visited Vanuatu, Tonga, Samoa, Kiribati and Fiji. We had booked accommodation that appeared on the internet as being of superior quality, but still built in the traditional way combining cultural and natural aspects with modern amenities. We booked the entire... More

It is with disappointment that we read your review of Tabon te Keekee, particularly as we have never received negative feedback before. I will address some of the issues you raise about our property and also those about Kiribati in general. ‘Homestay’ has many interpretations, including yours. Locally, it is commonly used to mean staying in a family property but... More
