Society Islands, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great resort "

"We had a wonderful time, love everything here."

"I did not received the VIP perk credit for my stay. the noise outside from the window was too loud I could not sleep. Other than that, nice property to stay."

"This is the hands down best resort i have ever stayed in. Both The resort and our room is beautiful, not to mention the mind blowing lagoon. Staffs are friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend and we will come back one day for sure."

"Westin exceeded our expectations. Check in and transfer from the airport was flawless. They are well organized and efficient which is appreciated after a long travel day. We got early check in and late check out to accommodate for our flights. The staff is hands down the best staff of anywhere I’ve been- shout out to arthur, Sarah at the vara, ani gigi and all the waitresses at vara I can’t remember all their names they are all wonderful. Everytime they pass by you they greet you with a smile. So polite and friendly and accommodating. The food was pretty good in my opinion- slim options for a picky eater like myself so can’t imagine staying for longer than we did (5 days). There are only two restaurants with the same menu and one with a rotating menu but we didn’t get in our entire stay because it was booked. Our over water bungalow with pool was phenomenal. We never left. Room service was efficient and good. I have nothing bad to say. The only thing I will say is you need reservations for most things you do when the hotel is full. So dinner, activities, etc. it was a little frustrating it was all booked for our stay so we didn’t get to do everything we wanted but overall a wonderful stay at the Westin and we will definitely be back!! Mauruuru!"

"Amazing location and beautiful surroundings! It’s our 2nd trip here in two years. Love the friendly staff and beautiful rooms above the water! "

"Gorgeous place. About 20 min drive from airport. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The pool is amazing. Beach is black sand. Hotel offers free kayaking with your stay. Food was good but pricey. No meals were included. The rooms were lovely. The suites had 2 floors and 2 balconies with beautiful views of the beach and listening to the waves when falling asleep. Highly recommend "

"Such a beautiful property and staff!"

"Andy was amazing host looked after us very funny guy and made the stay well worth it "
