    The hotel is bit isolated but you dont really need to go outside of the property as you have everything on site.

    The entire resort is simply beautiful and very well maintained. Our private villa was fantastic, spacious and private. The restaurant and bar are also fantastic and located right by the water. The breakfast was also very good. The staff was fantastic and very accommodating, especially in the restaurant. You have all sort of activities available (diving, lagoon exploration, etc...) Cherry on the cake: airport is 10-min away so you can really enjoy until the very last minute.

    Food was a hit and a miss. Some days great and some days not so great. Wish they served food all day as there’s no other places to really eat on the island besides snack lily.

    The location, the views, the rooms and the experience. Thank you for our private dinner which was wonderful!

    The coffee. Freeze dried in rooms. Breakfast coffee is too I believe. We traveled to many places in FP. 1st that had this. Please put single cup espresso machines in rooms. Atleast your Bungalows. We like to enjoy sunrises with a great cup of coffee. Bring your own if you want decent coffee in the morning.

    it's beautiful. The staff are wonderful,friendly,helpful in everyway. it's relaxing.

    The beds are terrible! The mattresses were lumpy and just long past do to be replaced. Mosquitos were off the hook. A Mosquito net around the bed would help out tremendously.

    The staff was courteous and thoughtful. The staff was organized and anticipated our needs.

    Too few sun beds at the beach, no animation in the evening, some renovations that would need to be done. Parts of the deck of the restaurant outside made of wood and the outside of the pool (missing stone).

    Location, lagoon, very nice staff, room with private pool, gardens very well maintained by several gardeners.

    It was a bit of a nightmare when the airline company changed my flight and I had to stay one night less there cause they did not want to reimburse me the night and it was clearly not my fault.

    The hotel is beautiful, the location and the beach, the excursions organised by the diving centre at the hotel are very nice.

    I like it all. Only suggestion perhaps would be to upgrade the bed and TV in the beach bungalow as bed and TV look really tired.

    Fantastic resort with water, beach and garden bungalows. Great bar for sunset, overflow swimming pool and open restaurant. I stayed in a beach bungalow offering breathtaking views on the turquoise lagoon. It was a large beach bungalow including airco, jacuzzi, hamac and sleeping chairs. The staff is very nice and helpful. The property includes a dive center and offered several excursions.

    it's the best hotel in the rangiroa island and everything is perfect, the staff are very good. huge space of the room, and super clean. Really appreciated the birthday cake for my child, after visiting the Rangiroa island, i realized how difficult it is to get a birthday cake, it's far beyond my expectation. highly recommend it.
