The hotel rooma are very out dated and not as clean as it should be. The only thing that offsets the room is the location - outdoor in the back on the water front and how close it is to the airport. The vents, furniture, and walls were dirty. Bath robe and slippers were very dingy, one pair with "washed" dirt visibly showing on the slippers. The bed was very low and very firm, with two twin beds pulled together - the dip and trim in the middle easily felt and uncomfortable. Staff was a hit and miss as far as friendliness. Although those at the front desk were multi-lingual - switching from french, to English to the native language with each guest. Breakfast was ok - beware when wating outside...there are roosters, chickens, and birds that jump on the chairs and tables and literally in people's plate the minute they walk away- even if someone else is ay the table.

The property was nice and had very spacious rooms like suites with a kitchen. I would give it a 5 if they had a beach. However, very good places to eat to the right of the resort. They give you very large portions for $25 and below. No restaurants do that. They cook your food on the grills outside. If I didn't see smoke, we didn't eat there. It is better to rent a car. The resort have free parking and that is a plus for anyone. Also you can swim in the nice pool or the natural ocean water pool next to the restaurant. That is very unique. You also get to see all the great waves and surfers. Overall, great place to stay

This resort listing is misleading. The pictures make it look well kept and updated but everywhere we looked it seemed in need of a good overhaul. Our room was dirty and needed a good cleaning and fresh paint. The pool water fountains were not working, the bike in the fitness center was broken. It just needs a little care. The only big positive was the staff, VERY friendly and helpful.

It was a pretty view and not too far to walk to the store. The reservation said free water but we only were given 1 bottle for our whole stay. We were eligible for a drink package but i was told it wasn't on our reservation, thankfully i printed the paperwork and brought it with me. The fee and price conversion didn't add up, we were charged more.

The hotel is nice but there was no hospitality here. We arrived when the storm came in so it was not a great day. The staff were very cold and not helpful. We were tired and just want to grab dinners at the hotel. First we need reservation. We called to reserve our spots and were told that they do not accept reservation and dinners were not available. We are glad that we only stayed one night here.

We stayed at Te Moana 10 years ago and it was nice, but they’ve done numerous improvements since then and the outdoor space and water front bar is simply amazing! We were a little bummed to only be staying one night en route to other islands; it would have been great to spend a day or two enjoying the pool and lagoon.

I had to ask about my beverage credit and was told i didnt have one. I showed my email that said otherwise. I also booked another night since we arrived around 5AM and was told this would be the only way to guarantee getting in early. We were told when we arrived they were 2 different rooms and would have to change about 2. Just before noon we were somewhat pressured to hurry up and change rooms as quick as possible.
