Hotel Hibiscus

My husband and I have just returned from a 6 night stay at Hotel Hibiscus. We stayed in one of the traditional style "fare" bungalows, and were very impressed. Our holiday was to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary (our honeymoon was also on Moorea, but at the now closed Hotel Moorea Village) and staff at the Hibiscus had left a fruit platter in our room in honour of our special day. The staff are lovely, the restaurant superb, and the sunset to die for. I would however, recommend that guests bring a spray can of mozzie repelent (coils are provided in the rooms, but a spray would be more effective).

Good and polite stuff and manager. Rooms are ok. Bathroom in the average priced room don’t smell well which affects the room’s smell. If you come around New Years $350 for a room is not justified. No character, no facilities or bed chairs to enjoy beach front. They have a great location but they made no effort to make it nice or let people enjoy it. Pool is tiny… and worn out It’s worth $75 not $350. If you have another choice I would no go to hibiscus … if you don’t, then make sure you have a car to go to other places since Hibiscus made no effort to make the beach front possible to enjoy. Our AC did not work, next day they changed our room and upgraded us which was nice but they said ‘ its your fault, because you Americans are used to AC’ That when our room was frying in the 90’ heat all day and they had bo screens on windows and their fan was useless… Our choice was either to open windows and get eaten by mosquitos or get boiled… Restaurant dinner food is mediocre. Italian next door is good as long as you make a reservation, otherwise they are arrogant if you don’t….
