"The resort is located in a good location at the southern part of the mainland, with a public beach just two steps away. The beauty of the public beach being so close is that guests can choose between the resort beach or public beach, but the public cannot use the resort beach. The resort was well kept and the beach clean. Breakfast was a good selection. I would however recommend fresh fruit juice is available. My overwater bungalow was lagoon view, not much privacy, but that is how the bungalows are built. My room and bathroom was clean and a good size with sliding doors and air conditioning. I would recommend having toothbrushes in the bathroom. The deck chairs were comfortable and the ocean was as clear as can be, with multiple fish and stingrays swimming around each day. Great for snorkelling, with optional water sports. Dinner options was limited to two restaurants, with entertainment twice a week. More restaurant options would be good. Thank you to your member of staff who greeted me on arrival, 18 April. And the lady who helped with check-in. Huge thanks to Vahine, who always greeted me at breakfast with a big smile and remembered my birthday. Thank you also to Purea, Raita and Tuapia, for always greeting me at dinner with enthusiasm. And lastly, thank you to the hotel staff for the birthday gifts, it was appreciated."

"Both rooms we occupied were great! The over-water bungalow was fantastic! The staff was always friendly and helpful, especially Julia at the front desk - she was awesome! The breakfast was good - variety of pastries, breads, fruit, juices and coffee - the only negative were the scrambled eggs, unfortunately. I would recommend ordering your eggs separately. "

"The food is very very bland. "

"I am glad we booked St Regis for the stay. The resort is just amazing. We booked the lagoon side, over water bungalow. The water was so calm that you could swim in it anytime of the day. We saw sun rise every morning from the bedroom. The resort staff were very friendly and helpful with just about anything you could think of. And the food was amazing. Amazing variety of choices. fresh juice , fruits daily. I never had smoked mackerel. It’s amazing to have that for breakfast everyday. Overall, we had a great time at St Regis."
