Restful night!

Great stay. Beautiful grounds, pool was prefect. We only stayed here one night on our way to Moorea. We loved the room although the bathroom is a little dated. The bed was super comfortable. My husband agreed we had a great night sleep, plus it was very quite. We would stay again.

Stayed for 2 nights before our ferry to Moorea. We loved the pool area, very pretty & great place to chill after our long flights from the UK. Room was clean beds comfy. Breakfast was really nice & the lady that is there in the morning seating people & taking payments was lovely. All the staff were friendly & helpful. Great location for ferry & airport too. Only thing we found was food in the restaurant was quite pricey. But overall we enjoyed our stay & would definitely stay again when in Tahiti.

Overnight stay after late flight

Arrived late flight en route to Moorea and needed a night stay and it served the purpose. AC worked well, bed was comfortable. Shower a bit dated and no washcloths but very acceptable for a one night stay. No elevator to 2nd floor made it difficult with heavy luggage.

Time for a revamp. Property has the 60’s/70’s feel to it. We chose to stay here to see the black sand beach and it was a nice sight to see. Staff very friendly and restaurant was great as well with free live entertainment! I can’t get over the spaghetti bolognese! Soooo good and we've even been to Italy!

I love the pool. I love the view. It realy needed some up dating. Some tree trimming and bushes. Very out dated. The price was great for no more than we were there it was ok. If you're only staying one night I would recommend it more than that no.

The room was big and comfortable. Big bed. We were only for the night as our flight was early next day. No restaurants in surroundings, not very nice at night. We had dinner at the restaurant in Hotel. our flight was very early next day, we reserved a taxi for early morning. The taxi arrived delayed. the reception was closed so there s no way to call another taxi.

Good hotel for a good price

I wasn’t looking for a luxury hotel for the price of around a $100 USD per night so this hotel served its purpose well. It helped I had a rental car (free parking), used the beach and the very nice pool they have, and room was comfortable enough and had a hotel safe and fridge so was fine. Only things I didn’t like were the shower and shower head (too low for me as I’m very tall) and only French tv, wouldn’t mind just having CNN or at least one English Channel as an alternative since I only know a little bit of French. I didn’t try the restaurant so can’t comment on that either.
My own private beach at sunset, nice!

I like that the hotel was next to a beach, but unfortunately due to my late arrival I didn't get the opportunity to see or walk on the beach. It was a quiet hotel complex, but I didn't like having to walk by myself late at night through an open area to locate my room. I was not familiar with the hotel and the path was not particularly lit very well. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom needs updating.

Never again

Poorly advertised as close to the airport with a shuttle. Hotel is in a really, really run down neighborhood full of graffiti with kids roaming the streets at 1:30 in the morning and plenty of roosters to keep you awake. Built in 1967 and hasn't changed much. Not ever coming back, probably a no star hotel.
