“Pleasure moments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

This is a may 2008 review! I am writing in 2011 and i have no option to choose 2008 review, so i need to inform you.
About the hotel:
Every sunset was a particular show!
I stayed at a bungalow, with a little kitchen, where we made our foods. There is market near the hotel where you can go by walk.
It is better for those who wants to travel with less money, avoiding to spend at the restaurants and prefering to enjoy the others facilities.
The bungalow was very clean, like all around the area of the Hibiscus.
At the restaurant in front of the beach we can have a wonderful breakfast. Sergio is one of the staff who served us. By the way, he got a boat and made a shark and ray feeding trip in a cheaper price! I recomend him.
At the front desk you can rent a bike to ride around.
The pool is good for some rest while planning the next day!

“Not my cup of tea”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010

We travelled together with a group and visited several island and different hotels - this was the only one graded by 2 stars. I am not a picky person as I travel a lot and the most important thing for me is to have clean and comfy bed & shower but to have my room cleaned with bleach is way odd, not to mention health hazardous.
This hotel was the only one offering same breakfast every day, the service is slow - sure you're on vacation but when you have a group full of people - they should all be served at the same time rather than in 1-1,5 hour apart as we all needed to catch a boat.
Dinner was terrible and we left the majority on the plate. There was no alcohol available as they lost their licence. Also the hotels and shops are closed. looks like business is not doing well. Weird feeling about the location. Good thing the supermarket was 200 metres away to buy some fruit and bread.
There is a guy next to the reception who starts working on his axe and wood cutting with a machine at 5:30 am is really not my cup of tea while being on vacation.
My strong suggestion is to pay more and rather have a good experience on the island (such as Sofitel), which we did have on other islands and other (better hotels).

“Excellent stay in Moorea, very friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2010

We went for our honeymoon last september, and we had a hard time finding a good price for our stay. Finally we bumped into the Hibiscus, we had and excellent week in their rooms.
The service from the hotel is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are super clean and comfortable. Every day we had new local flowers and a fruit basket in our room.

The breakfast was pretty good with croissants and bread cooked by them, you have a beautiful view from the restaurant and the food is good, but quite pricey (it happens all over the island).

The beach from the Hibiscus is one of the nicest you will find at the island, I think the best is located at the Tipaniers (they had no room for us).

“Basic comfort”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2009

We have stayed at Hotel Hibiscus on Moorea’s West coast, next to the now closed (since 2001) Club Med. Club Med must have been the heart of the NW region of this island attract-ing an up-market clientele. The once many shops and restaurants now make a rather de-pressed impression, many of them are closed. The Club Med area itself is an unpleasantly looking assembly of rotting bungalows. The Centre Commercial has a few souvenir shops, one or two restaurants, and a supermarket with the usual supply of French food provided it is canned. Fruit are also available but you better by your ananas on the road side (4 for 500 CFP). Prices are reasonable (European level) given the fact that everything is brought in from France. Wine (French of course) is expensive (starting at 10 € for a bottle you won’t pay more than 3 € in France). The best bet is the Roulotte “A L’Heure du Sud” run by Ernést. Try his “casse-croûte”, baguette stuffed with chicken or white tuna, and the fruit juice! Great mu-sic from the Sixties. Open only from 10 am to 4 pm, BYOB. Try the good local beer Hinane!
Now the Hotel Hibiscus: It has definitely seen better days - about 20 years ago. The bunga-lows are spacious but the interior lacks fantasy: no frills. No A/C but this is okay given the way they are constructed – with lots of vents. Unfortunately it was raining heavily during most of our stay, which helped the mosquitoes to multiply. So take lots of insect repellent (OFF! as well as those incense spirals) and also after-the-bite relief. The kitchenette is rather rudimen-tary - so don’t expect to cook! Reception was somewhat distant at first but warmed up later. We arrived there at 6:30 am after a night without sleep, and so we appreciated very much being given our bungalow already by 8:30! The breakfast is served in the restaurant by Serge, a nice guy who runs also tours to the lagoon. Don’t miss his “ray experience” (hand-feeding the sting rays), which turned out to be more of a shark experience (about a dozen of black tips circling around us). Trust him, it is quite safe! We had dinner at the restaurant only once, the pizza was really good. On the down side: The beach is rather uninspired, with a concrete pier and some white sand. No sun beds, no regular cleaning of the beach. There is a small pool long and deep enough to swim. The patron owns a large dog, which likes to howl in the early morning or when left alone – quite a nuisance. And then there are the wild chickens, quite a few of them roaming around the bungalows along with the cocks who start to cry as early as 1 am. But this is part of life on these islands: Don’t even ignore them!
All in all: Not bad if you accept that the price level in FP especially for accommodation is probably by 50 – 100 % higher than what you would accept to pay in Europe. We have paid 132 €/night w/o breakfast. In France or Germany a fair price for the same level would be maybe 70 €.
