| - Spent a week at the Tahiti Village, we had for people in a small suite. There was a small living room with a sofa bed in front of a flat screen 36" TV. The living room also had a kitchenette with a sink, a small refrigerator, and a microwave.
There was the comfortable king sized bed in the small bedroom that took up most of the room. We had a 42" flat screen in the bedroom that for some reason didn't have the on-screen guide that was provided on the living room TV. The closets were fine with a lockbox available in the bedroom. The bathroom was fine, with a toilet and shower/tub. The bathroom had 2 doors, 1 on either side of the bedroom door.
The good points:
1. There is a large pool with areas for wading and even a sand beach area loaded with sand toys. If you have kids, this is a great place for them to play.
2. There is a Denny's on the premises for breakfast, along with Tahiti Joes. Convenient.
3. No gambling on premises. It's nice to be able to get away from the lights and noise.
4. Only one timeshare sales pitch during the entire stay,although the rep was unprofessional and pushy.
5. Good shuttle service to two drop-off points on the strip.
6. Friendly employees.
The bad points:
1. They charge $3 to rent a tube at the lazy river, which is ridiculous. This should covered as part of the room charge.
2. There is a Denny's on the premises, along with Tahiti Joes. Expensive, marginal food.
3. The hot tub smelled like a chlorine tub. The staff must have thought it was OK to let kids play in the hot tub with their pool toys at 1:30 in the morning.
4. My son was told in order to charge to the room we needed to put down a $500 deposit. I've never heard of such a policy before??
5. No airport shuttle.
6. No free Internet access. To make it worse, it wasn't paying for WiFi - you had to rent a USB modem and install software on your computer for Internet access. This is ridiculous.
7. 10am checkout or you're charged. This is non-standard compared to most places we vacation.
8. You have to pay to use the "Business Center", which should also be included. Again with the "nickel and diming".
9. The workout room was small is missing pieces from the machines. It wasn't being maintained properly.
I have a pet peeve regarding being charged for small things. This might not bother some people, but it really bugs me. The lazy river tubes, Internet access, and Business Center should be included, it certainly wouldn't cost the hotel that much money to do so and would provide a much more pleasant experience.
We wouldn't stay here again, although it wasn't bad enough to ruin our trip. I wouldn't consider this a Gold Star resort as advertised, there are many things that need to be improved.
