“What stands out is the functional cable car, a distinctive feature in Honiara, that provides access to rooms terraced on a steep hillside. I think the outdoor pizza oven and infinity pool add character, in addition to its history dating back to the 1960s. I see it as a solid option, especially given its focus on local culture and central location.”
