Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms could use an update, but they were clean and comfortable. I appreciated being able to stay in a third room until late in the evening at no extra cost. The service was a mix of not really nice and friendly, with some standout staff members like Lidia at the gourmet restaurant and the guy running the dance show. The location is fantastic, right by a great beach and lagoon, with well-maintained amenities like the lovely pool and beach area. The dining experience was excellent overall, although a bit on the expensive side. The facilities were good, providing enough to keep guests entertained.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms offered lovely amenities and comfortable beds with magnificent views, but they could use a good clean and makeover. The service was extra helpful and nice, with staff working tirelessly to resolve any issues and even organizing a happy hour in the pool bar every night. The location, although beautiful, was a bit under construction and dated, not as pretty as it could be. The dining experience was excellent, though a bit on the expensive side. The facilities were good with a tropical-style fitting for the location.
I absolutely loved my stay at this resort. The rooms were beautifully designed with two balconies offering stunning ocean views; I wish I could have stayed longer. The service was a bit disappointing as it seemed they had misplaced priorities, but the location was perfect - quiet yet convenient. The dining options were fantastic with a wide variety, but some might find them a bit pricey. The resort facilities were top-notch, especially the tropical-style pool and beach areas.
The hotel rooms were fine, but for a property of this type, they could do with a good clean and makeover. They were entirely mosquito-ridden, far from the foyer, and no food was available after hours for late arrivals. However, they were quite expensive.
My stay at the hotel was an interesting mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite being spacious and very comfortable, were unfortunately all closed off for maintenance during my visit. On the bright side, there were no roaches in sight, which was a relief.
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very modern with all the luxury you could wish for, although they lacked a table or chairs for sharing a meal. The service was top-notch, with extremely welcoming and helpful staff who even printed our boarding passes. The location on the beautiful beach and lagoon was a major highlight, although it was a bit dated in some areas. The dining experience was a bit expensive but satisfactory, especially the brunch buffet on Sundays. The facilities were great, with beautiful pools and direct access to the water bungalows.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were amazing, and the view of the ocean facing west made watching the sunset from the balcony a must. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly friendly and helpful. The location, though a bit out of town, offered a tranquil setting to swim with numerous fishes. However, the dining experience was a total rip-off, and the high cost didn't match the quality of the food offered.
The hotel rooms were fine but could use a thorough clean and makeover considering the property type. On the bright side, they had a pamphlet about spa services and were spotlessly clean, very modern, and luxurious. The service was great overall, with very accommodating and helpful staff. The location, though not extremely close to town, was beautiful, especially the pool area. The dining was plentiful and varied, but one should be cautious of birds trying to get food if you step away from your table. The facilities were impressive.
The hotel is nestled conveniently on the ground level, boasting comfortable rooms with all necessary amenities. The terrace fronting onto the pool/bar area and the pool restaurant offer a pleasant ambiance.
The hotel is located near town but not too close, offering a fantastic tropical-style setting. The rooms were clean and comfortable despite having a lot of mosquitoes, and the service, especially from Charlise at the concierge, was super helpful. The dining options were plentiful and delicious, with the only downside being watchful birds. The facilities are well-maintained and straightforward, with direct access to the restaurant.
I found the hotel to be a comfortable and clean stay, although the rooms were a bit far from the foyer and food availability was limited for late arrivals. The hotel was a peaceful and relaxing place until late at night.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms, with late check-out option included at no extra cost. While the rooms are a bit noisy due to the resort's design and popularity for events, they are still cozy. The service is exceptional, especially highlighted by Maurike at reception, although some aspects seemed misprioritized. The location is well-maintained with attractive amenities, though accessibility can be an issue without a car. Dining options are varied but slightly overpriced, with the best meat being a standout. The facilities are well-cared for, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a large balcony attached to a water lily pond, providing a serene ambiance. While facing a glitch with overcharged breakfast fees that required a refund, the room size and the bathroom were appreciated. The hotel's location in Tahiti Papeete is beautiful but needs some improvement in terms of proximity to the airport and shuttle service costs to the city.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The ocean view facing west from our room was simply stunning. My room was ready upon arrival, and to my surprise, I was upgraded to a junior suite. The room had an espresso machine with Illy coffee, a nice touch even though I didn't use it.
The hotel offers a unique room experience, despite some drawbacks. The service was a mixed bag, with friendly and disinterested staff. The location provides a tranquil setting but has its quirks. The dining choices were varied, with some hits and misses. The facilities were decent overall.
