8/10 Very good

Nice hotel with clean rooms.
Majid, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

We must have been palmed off with the worst room in the hotel, room 338. We would have had it changed but as we were staying 1 night and arrived at 6pm it wasn’t worth the hassle. Food was pretty good at breakfast and dinner.
Philip, 1-night trip

Beautiful sea view, stunning beach. Children friendly hotel.
Elena, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful hotel with a nice pool. Very child-friendly and all activities minded on kids. Rooms are big and the all-inclusive buffet is reasonably good (such buffets will never be michelin class but they did a fairly good job). Biggest minus for the buffet is poor marking of allergens. With all inclusive there is also access to a very nice waterpark with very nice facilities but water being a bit chilly (they have a toddler friendly section with slightly warmer water though). The hotel is located close to the sea and the beach but otherwise there is not too much to do and see around. There are bus connections to nearest cities though. It is not clear that they have any environmental initiatives or considerations for recycling.
Kasper, 5-night trip

Great place for kids. So many food options at the breakfast buffet.

Good selection of food in restaurant. On the downside, lots of the attractions were closed and there was little to do on site

Wide range of buffet food options. Loved the club house.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall great hotel.. however not clear what alcohol is available as all inclusive. Very clean, beds so comfy. Food - variety of choices and overall very good
Louise, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely stunning hotel. It’s worth noting that some facilities are only open in the summer season. The outdoor pool is open from April onwards and they have a kids’ pool but it’s not well signposted. The indoor pool costs extra as it’s part of the spa but it’s sooooo good. The kids’ club doesn’t allow adults to stay and my 3-year-old didn’t enjoy it for that reason. Older kids will enjoy it.
Alison, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had amazing time, staff was great. But pool was to cold. Kidsclub was amazing.
Heiðrún, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We are impressed with the dining options and cleanliness of the property. It would have attract more guests if you provide indoor pool in winter.
MOUNIKA, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Bad cleaning

The room had filthy floor when we first got in to the room and they never cleaned it during our stay either. When we wanted them to change our towels and put them on the floor we notice that the same towels were hung up again. And that was after we even talked to the cleaners and asked them nicely to change. The other sevices were good and the restaurant staff really lived up to our expectations. We have a glutenintolerant girl and we always got good help with what she could and could not eat.

6/10 Good

Ok place. All other than buffer restaurant were closed. If you want basic all inclusive with British people who wants party it's your place. Good location. Cleaning could have been better.
Mari, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyable and nice

Enjoyable stay at HW Polynesia. The hotel is nice but starting to get somewhat dated. The pool area very nice, and the water park (not at the hotel but close by - free shuttle bus takes you to pedestrian bridge to access the water park but you can also walk there in approx 10min). Quality of the food varied at the buffet restaurant but the breakfast was usually really good. The focus on candy and sweets at the restaurant a bit overwhelming, though. All in all a pleasant stay and we enjoyed our time at the hotel. If we were to visit again I think we would opt for the HW Village.
Espen W, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property… lots to do for the kids .. can’t think of anything. To complain about
Mona, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The reception is amazing, great for pictures. All the staffs are extremely friendly. The recreation for kids and adults is good, but could improve with more options all day. The food is ok, the dessert area have a lot options, but everything taste the same. In general was great. My son had the best time of his life. We are count the days to be back next year.
Camila, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms need renovation. There are holes in the curtains, the sheets are old and have a lot of stains. Almost everything is a little broken. Some animals that look like ants in the room. Food was good, superviced playroom for kids was excellent.
Rainer, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was spacious for a family of 4 and the main bed was super comfy. However, the sofa bed was awful. The fold-out mattress was super thin you could feel the springs so wouldn't recommend using it, or only for 1 person. It was handy having a kitchenette although having a kettle would've helped! On arrival our air con wasn't working but wihtin the hour, a maintenance member of the team came and fixed it and it worked well for the duration. The shower is really powerful but is fixed directly above your head and there's nowhere else for you to move. There is also a lack of hanging space or shelving in the bathroom - the shelf in the shower was hanging off so all shower items had to sit on the floor, and there was only 1 hook for a towel. Please install more hooks - shelves. Other than that, we had a great time. The food was plentiful and a good variety with a different themed night each night. For the kids I would've expected to see chicken nuggets, but there were only burgers or hot dogs. The pools are spotless and the kids entertainment team did a good job at keeping everyone entertained.
