What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Gold Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel?
It was fine, but not great.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked a standard room so we would be able to check in immediately on arrival in the early morning--upgraded to garden view which offered a view of the water as well. Later in the day we moved to an over the water bungalow--booked Motu bungalow and was upgraded to lagoon bungalow--although the worst located one without much view. We returned a week later and were upgraded from a lagoon view room to a panoramic room.

How are the rooms?
First room was pleasant, comfortable and clean. Bungalow didn't have a good view--it looked onto a marina and an urbanized part of Tahiti, not across the water to Moorea, we would have had a better view in a motu bungalow (although they were closed for renovation and we later learned that everyone who had booked a motu bungalow received an upgrade to lagoon bungalow, regardless of status.)

The hairdryer didn't work in either of the first two rooms we occupied.

The Panoramic room was clean and well equipped, with a working hairdryer. The floor was so creaky that even tiptoeing as lightly as possible over it made a terrible racket.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was your welcome gift?
Cookies in a tin.

Did you receive fruit and water in the room?
Yes

What was good?
The beds were quite comfortable and the A/C worked well.

What was bad?
Ridiculously expensive food, long lines to check in, even with status.

Value for the money? Would you return?
We would probably go to the Hilton on Moorea if we returned. Overall we were not overly impressed.
