Would Recommend
It was great. I had a layover in the Solomon Islands that required a night stay and throughly enjoyed my time at the hotel and airport shuttle. I would recommend to anyone. Good food/restaurant, spent the morning before my flight at the pool and water lounge chairs and found the staff accommodating and helpful.

There has no interest access in the room, and only can fine it around lobby area, Even they charge you for 50 dollars for 3GB, it allow you connect 2 devices at the same time. It doesn't not make sense.

Stops looking, this is where you want to book. We had the unexpected pleasure to spend an extra week in the Solomon Islands. There's limited lodging in the city, this is by far your best value. Four-star is pretty accurate, there is some minor room maintenance that could help. The five-star hotel nearby is unaffordable and the three-star looks it. And where this hotel shines, is the very attentive, friendly staff. Plus two good restaurants on site, a pool, an amazing activities concierge (Francis!) For the somewhat rough city you are in one of the safer areas, we felt safe walking nearby. I highly recommend if you're in town that this is one of the best places to go.

The worst hotel ever… Dirty moldy bathrooms, bugs, floor of unit dirty, old beds, outdated bathroom with all types of stains, bad room with direct view of parking lot and busy, noisy street.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…

Overpriced
Standard not living up to the price. It is worn and in need of renovation. We had breakfast for only one person, the other one was asked to pay - but the brakfast was not worth paying for. WiFi should be free, but was severely limited, so we had to pay for most of it - something we have not seen anywhere else in the world for at least 20 years. If the price had been half it would have been ok.

Michel

Good location
First the positive, the staff are very nice and friendly. The room was clean but the bathroom could have been cleaner. The shower head was so clogged there was only a trickle of water coming down, but to their credit when I complained the hotel fixed it right away. There is no complimentary water in the room, one must buy it at the restaurant for US$2 equivalent for 1.5l. Wi-Fi is weak, and it is only included in the room for 3 days. After the 3 days you must buy additional GB at high price (or buy from the telecom company and use your cellphone as hotspot). The beach and the waterfront is generally dirty and the water is not very attractive, probably due to the activity on the wharf next door. The pool was not open to the public during my stay, no explanation given, just a sign. The ‘’buffet’’ breakfast (not included in the room) is quite expensive and frankly not very good.

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.
