What guests think

At Hotel Hibiscus, guests highlight a scenic lagoonfront setting with sunset views, immediate access to a public beach and park, and easy walking distance to small shops and several restaurants, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.

Most guests praise the friendly, helpful staff, though some reported isolated issues such as an unwelcoming manager, confusion over breakfast charges, or no luggage help. Bungalows are simple and often include kitchenettes; several mention no air conditioning or TV, and some note early morning rooster noise. Cleanliness is generally good, while facilities draw mixed feedback: the on-site restaurant ranges from excellent to overpriced, the pool is small or unavailable at times, and parking can be tight. Expect a relaxed, no-frills stay centered on the setting.

View from Bungalow was excellent. Staff was super friendly. Would have like access to printer but did not stop us from having a GREAT time. Snorkeling reef was great say a morey, sharks and stingrays.

Lovely room with kitchenette amenities. The swimming pool was sparkling clean and grounds were beautifully maintained. Warm reception. No t.v. in our room but there was a safe which we appreciated. Small parking lot which filled up early in the afternoon.

C’est surement la pire chambre jamais vue en Polynésie, c’est plus un camp de jours pour enfants qui date des années 1980. Céramiques au sol tout cassé. Des serviettes autrefois blanches devenus grises et tachées. Un fond de douche très sale. Un restaurant très ordinaire avec un prix plus cher que les 5 étoiles autour . Une photo de plage sur le site qui n’existe plus car au bas de l’escalier c’est le vide et une genre de fausse. Bref un tarif de 3 étoiles pour un hôtel même pas 1 étoile. L’arnaque et en plus une piscine grande comme un pataugeoire et pas nettoyer bref voilà . Ça devrait être démoli et reconstruit

Nobody helped us with our luggage, we had to drag it through grass field. Only few parkig spaces. Very small kitchen with no kitchen sink. Roosters will wake you up at 4 am in the morning. No AC only fan.

The hotel is nice and calm. The hotel beach is not really a beach but the public beach is just next to it and the water is chrystal clear. The pool is small but nice. The service was excellent: very friendly both in the restaurant and the reception. The village consists from a few shops and restaurants so there is nothing much to do but organized tours pick-ups work well.

The restaurant on-site was excellent for both its breakfast buffet and dinners. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The resort is located right on the edge of a public beach, and you can enjoy numerous recreation opportunities (swimming, snorkeling, paddling, whale watching excursions, etc.). It’s a 5-minutes walk to a small shopping center (very charming) with a small grocery store. But bring ear plugs because the island’s rooster population start crowing around 3:30am!

The views were awesome, we had bungalow 1 right by the water. The cleaning staff was great ! I would stay here again. It had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle, so we were able to have breakfast and lunch at our room. Book the restaurants nearby ahead of time, it is not always possible to get reservations or get into some places.

I highly recommend this hotel. All of the staff were fantastic and are just wonderful. The cleaning lady’s husband is a fisherman. We bought a big tuna fish from him. They helped us prepare the tuna and cook it together. We shared the tuna with other hotel visitors. It was the best tuna :). There were also kayaks on-site that we can use. The room was super clean and organized. We will come back again. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Somehow we got cabin #1 right next to the water. Simple but comfortable cabin with a small kitchen (sink & fridge). Great cross breeze when opening the front & back doors. There were some small ants that would swarm the kitchen if food was left out. There's a nice restaurant on site and the pizzeria next door is fantastic, it's a must go!

On arrival at check in we were told breakfast was included. Then at check out we were told we had to pay, not the best service there. Plus breakfast is very basic. The same fruit salad is wheeled out each day that swims in juice. Then it's croissant, pan au chocolate. Not sure what was fly or chocolate. The room itself was nice but no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan. At this time of year that's not a problem but in the hotter humid months it might be. Plenty of local restaurants nearby serve up some excellent local cuisine. Its basic but cheap so if you are seeking a budget friendly hotel in paradise then this is your place.
