The room was old, but very clean and everything worked perfectly. The staff was amazing - friendly, helpful, flexible. I was very happy to hear that they are renovating the older rooms soon. However: the pictures in the description were pretty accurate, so you get what you see. The food was great both for breakfast (fresh omelette as part of the buffet and great fresh fruit) and dinner (Japanese restaurant).

Would Recommend

It was great. I had a layover in the Solomon Islands that required a night stay and throughly enjoyed my time at the hotel and airport shuttle. I would recommend to anyone. Good food/restaurant, spent the morning before my flight at the pool and water lounge chairs and found the staff accommodating and helpful.
