Reviews and Ratings
I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The room was beautifully designed and laid out, providing lovely ocean breezes. It had everything I would have needed for a longer stay, even though I only stayed for one night. The service was exceptional across the board, making my experience truly memorable. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and the main Paihia township. The dining experience had some room for improvement, but overall, it was a wonderful stay.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The room was a studio with an incredible view of the beach and sea. It was very large, clean, and super comfortable, offering stunning views of the sea. The furniture included a two-seater, a chair, and a couch table, all adding to the great view.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very nice and spacious, but I was concerned about the cleanliness of the spa. The location was great with a short walk to the center of town, but there wasn't much staff at the poolside. The service was fantastic, with very friendly and attentive staff, who even provided late check-out and an in-room lunch platter due to a misunderstanding.
The hotel's rooms are very nice and neat with lovely views across the pool to the sea. The spa area directly accessible from the room is really convenient. The design is beautiful and laid out to meet all needs for a longer stay. The service, although overall very friendly, had some moments of inattentiveness. The location is fabulous, right on a beautiful beach just a short walk from Paihia Harbour. The dining experience was not as expected, lacking friendliness and room cleaning was subpar. The facilities are well-equipped and maintained.
The apartment was very spacious with a shiny new bathroom and a large balcony offering stunning views of the bay. However, the soundproofing could be improved for lighter sleepers due to noise from the hallway and restaurant/pool area.
The hotel rooms were very spacious and had a comfy bed, huge jet bath, great kitchen facilities, and a large fridge. However, the soundproofing could be better, especially in the mornings. The location was superb, right on a beautiful beach and a short walk from Paihia Harbour. The service was a bit inconsistent, but some staff members were really friendly and professional. The dining experience was exceptional, with superb panoramic views. Overall, a comfortable stay with a great beachfront location.
This hotel was a gem with fantastic views and everything we wanted. It was peacefully quiet, offered great ocean views, was a good size, and very clean. The room was big with a large balcony overlooking the pool, a park across the street, and the water. The service was excellent, the staff were amazing, so lovely, complimentary, attentive, and a true highlight. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed, and just a short walk to the beach and town. Dining was enjoyable, especially with the stunning views. Overall, a wonderful stay!
