Hi there Beth,
I got back after 5 nights at the Niksoma. It's a beautiful spot. The pool area and the service of the staff around the pool and breakfast was great.
I didn't think the rooms were that fantastic at all ! The paint in the bathroom was peeling, there were cracks in the bathroom bench, the shower curtain had seen better days and there was a lot of mould around the shower.
For $1127.00AUD for 5 nights in a deluxe room, I'd've thought it would have been better appointed. No view either ! I also requested a ground floor unit but instead was required to walk up two full flights.
Make sure you're prepared to buy your own shampoo and soap etc, as the 'complimentary' bottles you have on the first day, are IT, no more.
Our room wasn't made up until mid-afternoon most days and then the beds were turned down shortly after that - what's the point?
I don't think you can beat the location or the pool facilities at all, but as far as the rooms go, they're nothing to write home about at all !
I'm off to Hawaii in January and for the same price, I'm getting an ocean view. When there's something to view, you're not that fussed about having to climb a hundred stairs with your shopping, but when all you're viewing is roof tops, it's very disappointing !
