"Our room was a good room in fair condition. Generally the whole property was lacking the sparkle of a 4/5 star hotel , Although it was priced as a 5 star !!. Differently not up to Marriott standards although marketed as a Marriott Hotel. On line Marriott say the hotel is "Closed" and there is no name at the entrance or any directions to the property. Any member of the general public can and do use the pool and other areas of the property for a small daily fee. Overall we were very disappointed and very over charged !! "
"Our experience at the Doubletree Hilton over the water bungalows was incredible. We could not fault a thing, The resort itself was beyond anything we imagined, everything in the bungalow was in excellent condition, we stepped out from room to snorkel and saw the breathtaking reefs and corals and swam with the turtles. The staff were helpful and courteous, the open buffets in for breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the water activities were endless. We also had complementary boat rides to & from the Ilot Maitre resort to the main island all day long. If God wills, we'll be going back again, Can't recommend it enough!
au revoir :) "
"The room was excellent, but then again we paid a fortune for it.
The issue I have is that we arrived on Jan 1st, and left on Jan 6th. On Jan 6th is when the Hotel was fully opened again, besides the swimming pool bar which was still closed. The inside pool doesn't allow children, and I have 2 kids who wanted to be there.
There was no options for Room Service as everything was closed due to the time of year, which I would have thought would be peak period and being a Hotel, everything should be open.
The hotel is far away from most things, so you had to walk a long way everywhere or get a Taxi.
We booked in for the hotel restaurant and when we sat down, we realized there was no kids menu, and prices started at $125AUD per person, without drinks.
Even the inside cafe/bar was charging $10AUD for a Pepsi Max.
The country is ridiculously expensive, and for the $700AUD a night I paid, I cannot recommend at all.
On the good side - all staff were very friendly and welcoming, and did their best to speak English. The room was lovely and spacious for the 4 of us."
"The Residence is an older style beachside stay. It has character, easy going but very secure. Close to the beach and away from the traffic. Self contained and with a quality supermarche in close walking distance. The bus stop is virtually outside the door but this area is fantastic for walking and - well - promenading!"
