  • "I spent 3 nights at Nihi Rote and left with nothing but amazing things to say about the experience. Yes, the resort itself is beautiful, the rooms are incredible, and the gym was one of the best hotel gyms I’ve seen (they even had a skierg!!) — but what made the trip unforgettable were the people and everything I learned while I was there."
