Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with a distant view of the ocean and possibly Tahiti in the distance. The rooms were more than adequate, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. The service was fantastic overall, with the staff always smiling and welcoming. The location is fantastic, close to a fantastic overlook of the lagoon and great snorkeling spots. The dining options were great, with local fruits and a Polynesian fire dance dinner. The facilities were top-notch.
My stay at this hotel was exceptional! The location is top-notch with beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The rooms were cozy and had a unique glass part on the floor where I could see the sea and fish below. The service was outstanding, with the staff always going the extra mile to make my stay memorable. However, dining options were limited and a bit pricey. Overall, a wonderful experience with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel provides modern rooms with beautiful high ceilings, equipped with essential amenities but lacking privacy. The service is mixed, with some fabulous staff but gaps in performance. The exceptional location offers a secluded feel and stunning views, ideal for snorkeling. The dining options are tasty but with limited choices. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some room for improvement.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute dream! The rooms were incredibly beautiful and comfortable, with a spacious deck that led down into the lagoon for some fantastic swimming and snorkeling. The service was top-notch in every way, except for a minor hiccup with securing reservations at another location. The location couldn't have been better, right on the beach with outstanding snorkeling opportunities. The dining options were excellent, although a bit pricey, and the facilities were impeccable.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cozy and ready even before the usual check-in time, but the proximity of the bungalows might compromise privacy. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. The location was superb, offering remarkable views and excellent snorkeling opportunities, though the dining experience left something to be desired at its high price point.
Staying at the hotel was an absolute delight. The waterfront location was breathtaking, offering incredible snorkeling right at my doorstep. The rooms were spacious and luxurious, complete with a daybed, dressing room, and a lovely outdoor shower with both rainhead and normal options. The tranquility of the place made it a truly peaceful retreat, though a bit too distant from dining venues and shops. Overall, a worthwhile experience for those seeking a quiet and nature-filled getaway.
The hotel is situated in a perfect location, just 5 minutes from the airport and ferry terminal, with stunning snorkeling opportunities right on the coral reef by the beach or the bungalows. Service was exceptional with staff always friendly and attentive. The dining experience was enjoyable but could offer more variety. The rooms are tired and old and not ideally located, with snorkeling being the highlight.
