the Cook Islands has a staff shortage at the moment, but it was most notable at the Nautilus.
we were told on three separate occasions that the bar was closed for the afternoon as they didn't have a bar tender. there was also no room service available for the duration of our stay.
what staff they had were friendly enough, but very busy trying to keep up. we did note that some of other resorts we went to looked to have plenty of staff, so not sure what the issue was.
the room was nice, although a bit tired and could do with a freshen up to bring it up to the photos on the website.
for $900 a night, we were left underwhelmed.
