"All Staff were very professional, accomodating, very friendly and give you with special treatment. Hotel Manager Daniel Maruhi was very pleasant accomodate us in the same room. And Concierge Fara was able to give us all the directions and shops to go around the island. Love this place. Definitely going back again. Foods were good. Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Panoramic Over the Water Bungalow is worth the price. And I will definitely come back again this this place. Highly recommended. Super clean resort and not crowded. Then head to St Regis Bora Bora next after."
