“Very beautiful property with a great restaurant.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013 via mobile

The grounds of this property are beautiful. Though the rooms are dated they are very clean. The pools are beautiful including the lagoon sand bottom pool. The views from every angle of the property sweep the bay towards moorea. Make sure to catch a sunset.
Our only issue is their lack of non smoking rooms. We were originally given a beautiful panoramic view room on the third floor but it was a smoking room. Later we noticed on our floor there were smoking rooms between non smoking-- how does that make sense--since every room has a balcony or patio. This afternoon we had a smoker above us and right next to us--so we had to close the sliders so has not smell the stench!!

Stayed February 2013, traveled as a couple

“Great One Night Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

We stayed here on our layover from Papeete to Moorea on our honeymoon. They complimentary upgraded us and we loved the room. It had a beautiful bathroom as well! The breakfast buffet was amazing so I'm sure their food was great. We walked around the grounds and took a lot of pictures. The lagoon was very pretty and the swimming pools were as well. Wonderful hotel in our opinion!

“Poor service, would not stay here again!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Ourselves and another couple we were travelling with arrived at the hotel around 7 a.m. on February 1st after being on the go since 3 a.m. the following morning. It was very hot and humid when we arrived, my husband said not to complain as we were coming there to escape the cold weather back home. Went to check-in they provided us with a glass of juice, the gentleman advised us that check-in was not till 2 p.m. but he then told us that he would try and expedite an earlier check-in possibly around 11 a.m. We used their facilities to freshen up, they stored our luggage and we went to the marketplace in Papeete, wandered around, had some lunch and headed back to the hotel for 11 a.m. My husband went to the desk a young woman behind the counter started to check us in again, my husband told her that we had already checked in and were told a room maybe ready, she then very rudely informed him that a room would not be ready till 2 p.m.

We stayed in the lobby area for 4 hours, not once did they say they were sorry for the inconvenience or to offer us some water to drink, I guess that was because there was a bar by the lobby and if we wanted something to drink we could pay BIG $$$ and the hotel gained by that. A couple of us fell asleep on the couches as we were exhausted, at that point I did not care that we were taking up space for people to sit. At 1:50 p.m. my husband and his friend went back to the check-in desk to see if our rooms were ready, we were then given our keys. We advised them that we were travelling together, then we found out our rooms were at opposite ends of the hotel.

I understand that hotels have policies and I have no issues with that, but this hotel could really use some polishing up on their Customer Service. If we ever went back to Tahiti or know of anyone going there, we would never recommend this hotel.

“Beautiful resort!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

We stayed here for. Just one night in January 2013. We found the resort to be beautiful. The grounds were well maintained, and the landscaping was beautiful. The hotel room was classy with a huge balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Te food in the restaurant was delicious and the Friday night dance performance, included with the cost of your dinner, was very well performed. I would recommend this resort for a stay on Tahiti.

“Good hotel and service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

We arrived at the hotel at night and informed that we were on honeymoon. They gave us an upgrade to an overwater Bungalow (do not forget to inform this). We love it. Great room. Breakfast excellent too. The hotel is very beautiful. The pool is great. The staff are very attentive. It is usually a passing hotel, since Papeete is not the most popular of the Polynesian island. Only stayed one night, but it was worth the stay!
