The post is 5 months late for March '15 stay


----
What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Platinum Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel?
Absolutely, how can I not.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Emerald OW bungalow. We specified the particular Emerald bungalow number that we wanted in the booking, and upon check in we were told the resort was fully booked (heard they mention the same thing to other party as well, include a large family of 8) so no available sapphire for upgrade. But they did have the exact bungalow that we specifically requested, which was a wonderful surprise.

How are the rooms?
All bungalows are identical, but differ in location. We enjoyed our OW bungalow very much even though it is the lowest category.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
Only one restaurant was opened during our stay (Sand was closed for reno). So it get a bit tired for dinner menu. But other than that everything else was great. Service was excellent, and Ambassadors receive free waters. I know other couples that made a two hours trip in two just to get drinking water. While they replenish our drinking water whenever they clean the room and do turn down service.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?[/QUOTE]
Since we used the free nights for the stay, and they offer half price ($20 per person) for breakfast for ambassador members (otherwise breakfast is $40 per person). It made overall stay very good value compared to the other two OW bungalows resort in other islands(Tikehau & Moorea) we stayed in French Polynesia during that two weeks.
