“In my opinion, this place has an edge, especially if romance weighs on your mind. The overwater bungalows offer direct lagoon access, and with three restaurants and a stellar wine cellar, you're set. But the Deep Ocean Spa, using deep-sea waters, might just be the clincher.”

Our experience was quite mixed at this hotel. While the stunning views and comfortable overwater bungalows were incredible, we faced numerous service issues and disruptions due to renovations that significantly impacted our stay. The staff's warmth and willingness to help were notable, but it was frustrating that communication from management was lacking. Overall, it is a beautiful location, but the value for money was questionable considering the inconveniences we encountered.

The resort is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views over Mount Otemanu and luxurious bungalows that offer comfort beyond expectations. While our experience with the service was generally positive, there were moments when it felt a bit lacking, especially during busy periods. The dining options varied, with breakfast being a highlight but dinner not quite meeting the five-star mark. Overall, it's a beautiful getaway, though improvement in service and dining consistency would enhance the experience even more.
