"Great place to stay if you're just on a short layover. Its clean, safe and the bed is comfortable. I wouldn't suggest trying to walk it, even though it's across from the airport. Spend the $20 and take a cab. There's a decent Chinese restaurant called Ocean close by if you're looking for a quick dinner before bed. "

"Amazing place in every way, incredible space, breakfast, really perfect "

"Beautiful resort. Great location to shopping, restaurants, and excursions. Room had some allergen or mold in it that affected my spouse. Many of the staff were very polite, while some were borderline rude at times. Overall a good stay."

"Staff was excellent!"

"The staff was terrific, friendly and helpful."

"What a gorgeous property, and so close to the airport, without feeling the slightest bit like an “airport hotel.” The place is large and well laid-out, with a wide variety of pool and dining options, each with a totally different vibe. We spent a two-day layover here on the way to New Zealand, and without ever leaving the property, we felt like we had a lovely little Tahitian getaway! The “Lagoonarium” — a mini-lagoon with exotic fishes you could swim with! — was a childhood dream come true! I always wanted to jump into the fish ponds at resorts, and I was able to do that in this gorgeous pool with friendly fishes! They also have a sea turtle rescue program there, which was fascinating and moving. We took a scuba diving trip right from the property a few hours after arriving, and saw many fish, stingrays, eagle rays, a plane wreck and a boat wreck in the crystal-clear waters. What a low-effort way to have a spectacular experience! The food at The Lotus Restaurant was transcendent! Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know! "

"Welcoming staff and environment. Beautiful and clean rooms. Easy access to shopping center and food options. Taxi is also available upon request. "

"Amazing resort! We loved the overwater villas. Moorea is amazing! Highly recommend!"

"Villa Tepoe was fantastic. The location on the lagoon, especially, was sublime. Really glad we booked this place. It can handle a large group, and the pool was quite a bit bigger than we were expecting. It was perfect!"
