  Thank you Pierre. Merci!

  A beautiful stay in the signature suite after a couple of moves to get a room. I was apparently booked into a room at the very end of the resort, which was a long walk away from the central bar, eating areas and swimming pool. Our first relocated room was under the water tower which has an ear piercing high pitched humming noise. We were moved to a room right next to the crowing rooster at around 3am. Next day were were relocated to a beautiful signature suite and our stay there was wonderful. The resort has a beautiful large deep pool with shallow walk in areas. The service and food in the restaurant was excellent and the chef prepared beautiful meals, some using local produce such as locally caught shrimp. My favourite dessert is the Pearl Exotique which is meringue and cream and 10/10. If you stay at this resort and can find a way to stay in a signature suite then do so. I am a repeat guest and have tried several rooms now but the signature suite is the best. Room 3201 is a lovely room with a separate living room and bathroom with double basin. It would benefit with the addition of a portable luggage rack or two in the wardrobe as we had none. It would also benefit by putting a coffee maker in the room as we had none. I would have liked to see bottled water in the room as we had none. I would also like to see a stocked mini bar as our fridge was empty the entire stay. We asked to have it stocked but they told us we had to walk to the bar and select what we wanted in the fridge and they would not accept an order over the phone. For the entire stay we had no ice in our ice bucket either. The refinements one would expect in a 5 star hotel around the world were lacking sadly. I watched them clean the room and it really just involved spreading the bacteria around with a used cloth or mop, instead of actually using disinfection processes. My main complaint is the smoking and vaping in the area alongside the pool. Every day this created a cloud of smoke which flooded the air over the pool. I have lung issues so this was offensive and basically polluted what would have been lovely fresh air coming in off the black sand beach. The people who want to pollute their own lungs have every right to do so but they do not have the right to make me sick whilst doing it. I thought smoking in public areas was illegal in Tahiti and this entitlement to smokers caused me discomfort and an asthma attack. It should be illegal to smoke anywhere near the pool and near the restaurant and bar - anywhere that the public are. Smokers should have to walk a distance away from others. Be aware that cats, roosters, hens and baby chickens roam freely throughout the property. The roosters are quite noisy and crow all night long. Be aware you must collect pool towels from reception and sign for them. This policy is very inconvenient. Obtaining pools next to the pool would be much easier for mobility impaired people and carry soggy towels all the way back to reception is inconvenient. There is a kettle in the room thank goodness. We were able to make a cup of tea. The 'creamer' is in sachets and it was out of date as the creaming powder in the sachet had turned to solid rock. I drank my tea black. The food would be considered by many as expensive and the serves are not large. The food however is delicious and beautifully presented. Our night manager Pierre is a sincere, kind and patient man who was very efficient in making us comfortable within his power.

  A beautiful hotel

  The resort is fantastic. It has a beautiful swimming pool and a very nice beach. It is a little far from restaurants or shops, so you have to have your meals there. The restaurants are nice but nothing special. All the hotel staff are fantastic, especially Jenny and her restaurant team. Unfortunately Maire is an unfriendly person. She doesn’t meet the standards of the rest of the staff. The room was excellent. We had a superb stay at the hotel.

  Great quiet place to stay in Tahiti

  Stayed here for 2 nights on our trip into French Polynesia and again for 2 nights when leaving. It is a ways out of Papeete, which could be a problem for some people but both my husband and I like that it was quiet. Great view from the balconies to the beach. The beach was great to walk along and swim. Food was good. Breakfast buffet had lots of different choices and the employees were wonderful. We rented a car for our last day in Tahiti and the hotel arranged it all - very easy.

  Plan on trying to find food elsewhere

  The rooms were beautiful The hotel itself was nice The restaurant was horrible the food was sub par and expensive Drinks were very expensive as well $26 for an aperol spritz which I found outrageous Don’t plan on having a few cocktails Drove around island and ended up eating a few meals at McDonald’s. How bad is that?

  Not recommending these hotel

  We stayed at this hotel for 5 days and were very surprised compared to the reviews and photos online. The hotel is extremely outdated, with things breaking or falling apart everywhere. Some sockets were hanging loose with exposed contacts, tiles were uneven both around the pool and on the stairs, and many areas showed clear neglect. The food was very repetitive and of low quality. It’s obvious that the hotel is poorly managed. Maybe it used to be good many years ago, but today it is in desperate need of renovation as well as better leadership. Even small details left a negative impression — for example, the in-room whirlpool was in terrible condition, with paint peeling off everywhere. Other guests reported the same issues with their rooms. Our travel agency responded quickly, but from the hotel itself there was no reaction at all. For the price, there are definitely much better alternatives. ⸻ Willst du, dass ich dir das noch in einer kürzeren, knackigeren Version für Booking/Google Reviews schreibe?
