Plum Vacations from ￥222,700

Beautiful room and view, very nice staff, nice pool, private beach with shark net, super clean. Free and easy parking, kitchen well appointed, beds super comfy. Only downside was the disco 2-3 times per week at the hotel next door that goes until 4am (yes you read that right). We moved rooms to escape the noise (we had to pay XPF 5000 per night for the pleasure) and we could still hear the thumping of the music.

We stayed 8 nights in an over water bungalow, I think you would be disappointed if you didn’t stay in an over water bungalow and stayed in one of the other rooms. The staff were really nice everywhere and spoke good English. Boat transfers were easy to navigate however it’s not very nice getting the smaller boat in the morning and at night, if we did our trip again, we would of spent a little less time here and had a few nights around lemon bay somewhere. Swimming was great, however not as nice as the beaches at isle of pines. Food was a little bit of a let down but the snack bar was great. Didn’t see any sharks and only saw one snake. Seagulls were annoying, ruined being able to eat outside, the pool bar also wasn’t open at all when we were there.

The hotel is located at the quiet end of the area, with stunning views out to the Coral Coast. The pool area is beautiful and the surrounding gardens are well kept. There is a great buffet breakfast on offer and also another restaurant right on the waters edge. The room service menu is a little small. Everything was clean and tidy, although we were only given 1 piece of soap for our entire stay and toilet paper appeared to be on rations! The day before our last night we were only given one new towel and no hand towels or bathmats. I'm not sure what's going on with room keeping, but this needs addressing. Its a short walk to the restaurants which was great!

Walkable distance (10-15min) to the Natural Pool. Most of the staff were supportive but some were rude to guests who didn't speak French. Breakfast was okay, not many options. There is no restaurants, shops around the area, so make sure to bring your own meal if you don't want to dine at the same restaurant for a few days.
