Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The reception staff was very courteous. The room was clean but looked somewhat worn down. The pool was our biggest disappointment. The water didn’t seem very clean and the bottom tile was slippery. Like a slippery film was on it.
The restaurant food was good and the staff friendly, although we had some service issues.
Garden like grounds filled with blooming plumeria. Excellent a/c, wifi, nice pool, and on the beach. (Note black sand beach). Negatives - $20 taxi to town. Not much around the hotel except two gas stations with food but no booze. Hotel bar a little pricey but cheaper than taxi. The hotel pushes the $33 morning breakfast but i had toast and coffee for $8 which was all that i wanted. TV is 100% french.
Overall a bargain. The beautiful gardens and free range roosters made up for any shortcomings.
We didn't have a balcony so no view, but the sliding glass door to outside sitting area took all my strength the open it. It's old and should have it replaced, or the part that slides updated.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The restaurant staff was very rude and unfriendly. Didnot understand or didnot want to understand the foid order.
When we had told her about mosquito bites ,she replied, " its all in your head, there are no mosquitos here "
All was good , a bit dated, needs updating . Staff very helpful and friendly . Highly recommend this place . Very nice ocean area location and beautiful gardens.
Restaurant staff was extremely rude , lazy , non helpful and out right useless .
We recommend this hotel for comfortable stay but strongly condemn the restaurant staff and advise others to find other places near by for their food needs .
We loved the property, including the scenery, beach, pool, wildlife (delightful dogs, white cat, roosters and chickens). The food was very good. Loved the ocean view from the restaurant. Loved the black sand beach! The man (and dog) that met us at 4 a.m. were very nice. The room was great! Loved the little gift of monoi oil! The staff could have been more accommodating. The maintenance man at tge pool was using an electric pool cleaner in the pool in the middle ofctge afternoon while we were swimming. There was too much confusion at the front desk trying to get a taxi to our ship. We pre-ordered an 11 a.m. pickup, but they didn't order it until 11 a.m., delaying our pickup by at least an hour.
The rooms were nice. Very nice restaurant right on the ocean. We watch the sun go down with the island of Moorea in the distance. On the weekend they have entertainment in the bar area with a dance floor. Very nice. Good food.
