Occupying a lagoonside coconut grove in the Haapiti restaurant and shopping district, this hotel has been around for years. Although its 29 bungalows are showing their age a tad, they still have traditional island charms, such as natural thatch roofs that extend over front porches. They also have ceiling fans and kitchenettes, making the Hibiscus attractive for longer-term stays. Next to the pool, a newer building holds 12 less appealing but air-conditioned hotel-style rooms. The beach is minimal here, but a section of the lagoon has been walled off to make a safe swimming hole for children. The beachside Sunset Restaurant and Pizzeria serves decent pizzas and pastas, and it's a fine place to sip a cocktail at sunset.
