    On Dec. 31, 2022, my husband and I booked a large room (1 king bed) with living room in order for 4 people to deposit bags and use the bathroom, if necessary. We arrived at 5 pm, had dinner plans at 6 and a flight that evening for which we had to leave for the airport by 9 pm. Upon arrival, the check-in male employee told me I had only marked 2 people but there were 4 of us. I explained we just go the room to have somewhere to deposit our luggage for a few hours, so we could go to dinner in town before our flight and we would not be spending the night. He then insisted I would have to pay the equivalent of an extra $60 for the 'extra guests.' So, I told him only two of us would go up and drop the luggage, to which he responded that now that he knew the luggage wasn't ours, we could not bring it up to the room because of 'liability' (even though our friends were right there in front of him and agreed on the plan). This is clearly ridiculous and shady. The man was so rude it was just unbelievable. I then asked to reserve a taxi for the airport at 9pm. He did call the room to inform us it had been arranged, but when we figured we had a bit more time than we thought, I called to see if the driver could come at 9:15, to which he just responded that we were lucky he got us a taxi at all. I might add, because we really needed somewhere to deposit our bags that evening we all kept calm while expressing our incredulity and displeasure, but in the end we just sucked it up. Fool me once...Never again.

    Hallway was dark . Couldn’t find room at midnight when checked in. Kitchen was not equipped as stated. No pans, no cooking utensils. Suppose to have cooking options in room but stove and oven did not work..no microwave. Air conditioning in master bedroom not working properly. Shower terrible. Half of the lights were out and had to get maintenance. Slider doors would not lock.. Had to have the front desk come and put sticks in doors to secure our room. Tv is not for English visitors.

    It was spacious.

    Nothing important. But the lobby and hallways are very dark and not inviting or comfortable. So it takes away from how nice the property is.

    The bathroom needs to be refurbished and the design of the bath and shower meant that the water ended up on the main floor. The bath mat could not cope. The rest of the building certainly looked that it need a lot of TLC and refurbishment.

    The rooms were good size and as a suite it was really good. The staff were excellent but they had to work in some difficult conditions. Breakfast was basic but met our needs well.

    No lighting in the hallway to the room. Lobby also could have more lighting Eggs for breakfast are undercooked. Food could be more international and no so local. Local dishes don't allows agree with requirements of tourists

    Location. The room was hugh and clean. Easily compared with the Intercontinental for facilities at less than half the price They serve freshly squeezed orange and pineapple juice for breakfast

    Didn’t like one thing about this hotel. They say it’s close to the airport but it’s near the port so tons of traffic. The shower has the worst design so the bathroom floods. No restaurant or food outside of dinner time. The pool is cold and in the shade. No TV Zink the sitting area. A miserable experience.

    Absolutely nothing.

    When we arrived the floor we arrived on was pitch black - no security lights, nothing. The breakfast was a rip off. There was no selection of anything, we are not fussy and will eat anything but it was extremely poor.

    A very lovely check in at 2am. Lovely big spotlessly clean room.

    The rooms facing the road really are are so noisy you have to sleep with earplugs or you won't get any sleep. Feels like the windows are open even when they are closed.

    Great spot for one night, staff were so friendly and helped us organise a taxi to the airport as we left the next day. Restaurant was actually really nice

    Place needs brighter lights so one could see to find your room number etc or a lighter colour paint. Brighter lighting will make people feel more secure. Theres a language barrier; require staff who can speak English as well. Not understanding the menus in FRrench. Need stable showers, rather than a hand held. We thought that breakfast was included in the cost, and it wasnt.

    Friendly, helpful staff. Upgraded to a larger room, when we had power problems in the hotel room.

    The hotel appears very run down and there is a lack of maintenance on obvious issues. I assume that travel restrictions during the pandemic has hit these hotels hard. Lighting in the corridors in the evening is very dim. The floors in the rooms are very dirty- seeing the cleaner at work I can understand why. The same mop for the common hall areas was used straight into the guest room with no change of the mop pad- no wonder the soles of my feet were black when walking barefoot in the room. I think management needs to overhaul their cleaning routines and do more to maintain fittings in the property.

    Generous sized rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Proximity to ferry wharf- but offset by being in a run down area . Close to the local market , boat marina and nice harbour park which are a short walk away. This hotel suited my needs for a quick stopover prior to catching the ferry to Moorea.
