Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it a quick journey from the terminal. The rooms, although lacking a sitting area, are nicely furnished and provide all necessary amenities, but a coffee machine would be a great addition. The service was generally good, with helpful staff welcoming us to use facilities before check-in. However, the manager's friendliness fell below world-class standards. The location is ideal for short stays in Tahiti with picturesque surroundings, including a swimming pool and overwater bungalows, though some parts seem in bad shape. The dining experience, while offering a buffet with a variety of choices, may not cater well to those seeking simple options like fruit and coffee. Overall, the hotel is a convenient stopover close to the airport with mixed service and dining experiences.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although advertised as superior deluxe with a garden view, actually overlooked the airport runway, which was disappointing. However, being on the top floor provided a beautiful direct view of Mo'orea across the lagoon. The room felt outdated, resembling a Days Inn hotel, except for the modern TV.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with superior lagoon views, set in a modern island décor. The staff is polite and works diligently to ensure a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, providing wonderful swimming facilities and easy access to the airport, although it is distant from downtown areas. The dining options, while varied, may not suit all preferences. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor inconveniences.
The hotel rooms were excellent with a nice mattress and bedding, very spacious, clean, and modern, but filled with mosquitos and spiders. The service was amazing, especially from Day at check-in and the attentive staff. The location was brilliant, only about 5 minutes from the airport with fabulous garden views but under renovations. The dining experience had an extensive choice of breakfast options but only offered buffet dining. Overall, a comfortable and friendly stay with excellent service.
The hotel provided us with an excellent view over the pool to the neighboring island, but the room had multiple problems, including a small size without a sitting area. The service was consistently friendly, but the restaurant service was slow. The location was brilliant, close to the airport with fabulous garden views. The dining experience was just okay, and the facilities were adequate.
My stay at the hotel was extraordinary, with stunning views from the top floor of the last building. The rooms were modern, well-appointed, and surprisingly had a fantastic view. I appreciated the complimentary bottled water and tea making facilities. Everything was very nice, clean, and offered beautiful views of the water, making it a delightful experience. The service was exceptional, with delightful staff guiding us to the food trucks by the ocean and being incredibly kind and sweet, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location was excellent, right on the beach, perfect for breathtaking sunsets, and provided a beautiful view of Moorea. The dining experience was pretty decent, offering plenty of fruits, cheese, and classic American fare, although with a higher price of $43US plus tax and service. The facilities were fantastic, providing all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers simple, modern island rooms that are clean and provide yummy beds and bedding with a spectacular sunset view. They were nicely located over the lagoon. The staff is so polite and nice, working hard to ensure you enjoy your stay, although there were some issues with service. The location is a major advantage, being very close to the airport and offering beautiful views over the lagoon. The dining experience had both positives and negatives. The buffet options were good, but it could be overpriced for some. The facilities are nice overall.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a private sun deck and private stairs to the water, featuring very comfy beds, quality furnishings, super-fast wifi, and plentiful adaptor power outlets. My IHG Platinum status was acknowledged. However, some service aspects were lacking in proactive assistance. The location is convenient to Papeete with a lovely pool area, though some bungalow locations may be less desirable. The dining experience had varied quality in offerings. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
Staying at the overwater bungalows was a mix of experiences. While the rooms offered a nice, clean, and comfortable stay with a better view, some were showing signs of age. The service was decent, with some friendly interactions, but fell short of what I would expect in a top-tier hotel. The location, close to the airport, was convenient and attractive, with well-maintained facilities and an excellent view of the sea. The dining experience had its highs with amazing offerings but also lows for those seeking simpler options. Overall, a stay with some highlights and areas for improvement.
The hotel exceeded our expectations with its beautiful location on the lagoon and stunning pools, but fell short in delivering the promised Panoramic Lagoon View room. The rooms were still very nice, though they didn't cool down as much as we had hoped. The service was exceptional, especially considering our lack of French language skills, with staff always attentive and accommodating. The dining offered a pricey but extensive menu with a view of Moorea that made the experience worthwhile. The facilities were top-notch, and the convenience of being so close to the airport and various restaurants made our stay very enjoyable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but some areas had a locker room smell. The staff was friendly and helpful, though not exceptional. The location was convenient for the airport but required transport for off-site adventures. The dining was good, although a bit overpriced. The facilities were decent, with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although not very soundproof, offered a clean and lovely ambiance with a terrace providing a wide view of one lagoon pool and the ocean. The service was decent enough, with some language barriers, during our two-day stay. The location was superb, right on the lagoon with multiple pool options, but not entirely quiet due to its proximity to the airport and boating lanes. The dining experience was extensive but on the pricey side. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
