I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room with a jacuzzi was amazing and the free hot buffet breakfast was a great start to my day. The big comfy bed made my sleep incredibly relaxing, but I wished the bathroom in the suite was a bit more spacious. The location on the black sand beach and the view of Moorea Island added to the charm of the hotel.

The hotel offers a mix of positives like a stunning view of Moorea from the big balcony and a convenient outdoor kitchen, but falls short without a great view. The service stood out by going the extra mile with early check-in and check-out assistance. The location, right by a beautiful black sand beach, adds to the charm, but the dining experience, though inclusive, lacked variety beyond yogurts.

This hotel offers a mix of great views and some drawbacks, like the lack of a great view from certain rooms. The rooms come with a hot tub on the veranda and a queen-size bed, providing a cozy stay. The service is exceptional, especially with their willingness to assist during early check-ins and check-outs. The location in the quiet town of Arue is lovely, with some rooms offering a beautiful bay view. Overall, the facilities are well-equipped for a comfortable stay.

The free hot buffet breakfast was a definite plus, and the hot tubs were a nice touch. However, there were some issues with the bags mix-up, which was a downside.

The hotel is perched on a hill in the serene town of Arue, overlooking a black sand beach with stunning views of Moorea Island. The rooms are spacious with a lovely hot tub in the bathroom and a plush bed, complemented by a generous patio. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to accommodate our early check-in and check-out needs.

The hotel is situated on the Eastern part of the island, on top of a hill in the tranquil town of Arue, providing a unique setting on a black sand beach. The rooms are spacious with a big balcony, kitchen, comfy bed, and hot tubs, offering a luxurious feel. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist with early check-ins and offering various amenities. However, the location is a bit isolated from restaurants and away from Papeete center, which might not suit all travelers. The dining experience, while including some options like fries, could be more diverse. The facilities are top-notch, making for a comfortable and modern stay.
