Independent review for Hotel Hibiscus on Moorea Island in French Polynesia

Hotel Hibiscus French Polynesia is a small hotel set alongside a sandy beach protected by a rather ugly cement sea wall on the west coast of Moorea. The sea in front of the property provides a good swimming area for kids - go out 20 metres and its a pleasant lagoon for swimming and snorkelling. The hotel is close to the Little Tourist Village with its boutique shops, supermarket and restaurants.

Hotel Amenities
The property itself is rather cramped with limited parking but there's a lovely Italian style restaurant under a huge Fig Tree serving excellent Pizzas and overlooking the ocean (and sunsets). There's a good size pool and the newer two-storey hotel block has sanitary clean air-conditioned rooms with kitchen facilities. Bungalows are charming with thatch roofs although a little dated and are set back in the gardens.
