"Beautiful resort and location. It just opened on March 1, 2026 so it had only been open for a couple of weeks before we arrived. They were still hiring staff so restaurants were only open part time. Staff is wonderful and in a couple of months all should be up and running and fabulous. I would definitely go back"

"Staff are lovely and very kind. The rooms were clean. Close to ferry and restaurants. Lots of road noise, particularly lots of sirens. The toilet, at least in our room, was set insanely high; my feet didn’t touch the floor :). Very convenient though for a short stay. "

"There was no airport shuttle. We had to take a taxi from the airport."

"Room was spotless"

"Great location across from ferry. All staff very upbeat and helpful."

"One of the few hotels that are right on the ocean without being a pricey resort. Nice grounds, pool, restaurant, and chickens!"

"The room was clean, the pool was in good condition. The staff were helpful. The bathroom needed updating and you can't shower without flooding the bathroom. The lobby was in need of updating/fixing with a huge water damage hole and most of the lights not working."

"Very convenient hotel to the airport. Rooms were nice and clean, but be aware, getting in and out of the parking area can be difficult due to the very steep inclines."

"What a gorgeous property, and so close to the airport, without feeling the slightest bit like an “airport hotel.” The place is large and well laid-out, with a wide variety of pool and dining options, each with a totally different vibe. We spent a two-day layover here on the way to New Zealand, and without ever leaving the property, we felt like we had a lovely little Tahitian getaway! The “Lagoonarium” — a mini-lagoon with exotic fishes you could swim with! — was a childhood dream come true! I always wanted to jump into the fish ponds at resorts, and I was able to do that in this gorgeous pool with friendly fishes! They also have a sea turtle rescue program there, which was fascinating and moving. We took a scuba diving trip right from the property a few hours after arriving, and saw many fish, stingrays, eagle rays, a plane wreck and a boat wreck in the crystal-clear waters. What a low-effort way to have a spectacular experience! The food at The Lotus Restaurant was transcendent! Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know! "
