Garden like grounds filled with blooming plumeria. Excellent a/c, wifi, nice pool, and on the beach. (Note black sand beach). Negatives - $20 taxi to town. Not much around the hotel except two gas stations with food but no booze. Hotel bar a little pricey but cheaper than taxi. The hotel pushes the $33 morning breakfast but i had toast and coffee for $8 which was all that i wanted. TV is 100% french. Overall a bargain. The beautiful gardens and free range roosters made up for any shortcomings.

Nice hotel, beautiful grouns.

We didn't have a balcony so no view, but the sliding glass door to outside sitting area took all my strength the open it. It's old and should have it replaced, or the part that slides updated.

We loved the property, including the scenery, beach, pool, wildlife (delightful dogs, white cat, roosters and chickens). The food was very good. Loved the ocean view from the restaurant. Loved the black sand beach! The man (and dog) that met us at 4 a.m. were very nice. The room was great! Loved the little gift of monoi oil! The staff could have been more accommodating. The maintenance man at tge pool was using an electric pool cleaner in the pool in the middle ofctge afternoon while we were swimming. There was too much confusion at the front desk trying to get a taxi to our ship. We pre-ordered an 11 a.m. pickup, but they didn't order it until 11 a.m., delaying our pickup by at least an hour.

Good price. Day staff ok. Night staff non existent. Guard didn’t speak English. Arrive at 10 pm. No water to purchase at desk and none in the room. The A/C was not on in the room and it was HOT! A/V needed room key in the slot to work. Took Hours to cool off. Walking to our room was through the grounds and no lights nor directions to buildings. Lots of stairs to room. Nice beach front with restaurant. Ok for a short stay. Hotel arranged a transfer from airport for a fee. About 15 or 20 mins with no traffic. I would not choose again. Bite the bullet and pay the big bucks.

Not the greatest

My stay was just not good, I arranged a transfer with the hotel from the airport & they charged me twice what a taxi would have cost. The woman at the breakfast was rude, breakfast was not good, items gone & not replaced (eggs), the cost of breakfast was very high for what they offered, the black sand beach was a joke, the pool was very small & had very little chairs. The room was ok, typical of most hotels. I would not stay here again.

Lovely grounds and good sized clean room however, a dated property. Restaurant is very over priced for limited buffet breakfast and evening meals. In residential area with few choices for restaurants. Staff was not overly helpful, dont know if that was a language problem.
