The worst hotel ever… Dirty moldy bathrooms, bugs, floor of unit dirty, old beds, outdated bathroom with all types of stains, bad room with direct view of parking lot and busy, noisy street. Free internet is charged after 500MB(3 days). Basically we checked out 2 nights early and buyer new tickets not to be there…

Location was good, but pool water was green and filthy. Rooms were not very clean. Chaise by pool so old and dirty could not sit on them. Gave you very limited wifi usage and then had to pay. The place needs an overhaul. Shoreline in front of hotel was littered with trash and debris, wouldn't think of getting in the ocean water there. Hopefully they will be able to bring this hotel up to their previous standards. For now I suggest stay away. Never tried the food, with how dirty everything else was, didn't want to take the chance.

Rooms were clean and the air conditioning was effective. Water pressure was also good. Wi-Fi was very poor. The hotels two restaurants were ok but overpriced - breakfast was the best option. Service was friendly but more responsive than proactive. This hotel is better than most others in Honiara and I would stay here again.

I can't say there was anything really good about the property. It needs a really good cleanup - tiles falling out and not replaced; place smelt very damp (and I know it is a humid climate); the sheets were yellow with age; the shower was horrid and just the general decor was so old and worn and smelly. I would not recommend anyone to stay there.

The executive rooms are very good. However some areas of the property are showing their age and could do with an uplift, especially the rooms in the West wing. This is not that apparent when booking via the web site. Service is uniformly friendly and relaxed.

The hotel is dated and needs to be refurbished if they expect guest to pay the prices being charged. The main restaurant meals are below standard the only saving grace is the Japanese restaurant.
