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.
