The hotel is right next to Little Polynesian, convenient location, you can take the bus to the town, the beach is very beautiful, can enjoy the ocean view directly from room. The room is clean, with cutlery and a kettle, but the bath water is not stable.

Really enjoyed our stay especially for money value..Room was spacious and bathroom excellent.. Beachfront was clean and relaxing..Breakfast was the best of the 3 hotels we stayed at. Staff very friendly.. The bad news are the ridiculous taxi fares. For example if a family of 4 want to go to a restaurant a kilometere away. It will cost $280..4x$35 one way and return the same. A real tourist turn off.Why dont Hotels have shuttle buses,,

Pros: Great location, lovely beach access, friendly staff. Cons: Very noisy, you can hear footsteps constantly if you are not on the top floor. Made sleeping very difficult. Breakfast buffet is very limited. Pros outweigh the cons however.

I asked for a downstairs room to walk straight onto beach and to the water, just as in the picture. It was perfect.

The property is in a good location snorkelling wise with a nice view. It’s debatable if we would stay here again, most likely not as you can hear neighbour noise IE moving furniture, talking and the cleaners make a fair bit of noise. Not ideal when you have had a late night and wish to sleep in or just have peace in general. The shower pressure would drop to almost a dribble when someone I’m guessing in another room was using the shower. The food was diabolical don’t eat there but the drinks were great. The room itself was spacious and had a great view and was clean. We would try one of their sister properties
