Tout était au top ! Le petit dej est digne d’un 5 étoiles et l’hôtel est au petit soin pour ses clients même lors d’une forte affluence. Cet hôtel est un véritable havre de paix !

The guest experience

8.5out of 10
1121 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Pools and lagoon
  • Overwater bungalows (spacious, comfortable, clean)
  • Private beach and turtle conservation area
  • Friendly, welcoming staff
  • Excellent location (near airport, great views of Moorea)
  • Well‑maintained grounds

Worth knowing — Expensive restaurants and breakfast/dinner buffets · Slow/inconsistent restaurant service and order errors · Dated features in parts of property; some rooms with AC/temperature issues · Pool hygiene/enforcement concerns · Limited covered dining areas when it rains; buffet areas described as outdated

How guests scored the stay

  • Location10.0

    Consistently highlighted as a major strength: exceptional lagoon setting, overwater bungalows, private beach, great views of Moorea and very close to the airport.

  • Amenities9.7

    Pools, lagoon, turtle conservation area, poolside service and private beach are repeatedly praised. Minor negatives include cold pool water in one report and limited covered dining areas when it rains.

  • Room Quality9.5

    Overwater bungalows described as spacious, comfortable and excellent; general room comfort and views highly rated. Some guests noted dated features and AC/temperature control problems in a few rooms.

  • Cleanliness9.0

    Rooms and bungalows repeatedly described as very clean and well maintained ('impeccable'); grounds well cared for. Some concerns noted about pool hygiene/enforcement (infant in main pool without swim diaper) which slightly tempers a perfect score.

  • Overall Experience9.0

    Stunning setting, excellent rooms and friendly staff make stays very positive, but recurring issues with dining value/quality, restaurant service and some facility details keep the experience from being flawless.

  • Service8.8

    Front‑of‑house staff often praised as friendly, welcoming and attentive, but multiple reports of slow service in restaurants, mixed/forgotten orders and a few rude or lax staff instances reduce the rating slightly.
