Was great!

The staff, room, location, view was amazing! Just a few small pointers before heading to the French Polynesia!!!! Pack your swim suit and sun block in your carry on. We got there at 8am and didn't get to check in til 3pm! Also get a wall adapter that goes from european to American! They also sell them at the local market. We bought light snacks there to avoid buying 2 meals a day. Also think about packing your own liquor or wine, as it is pretty pricey to order. But all in all the stay was fantastic, we are already talking and planning our next trip!
