Kenneth United States of America

Beautiful location. High quality and fairly priced restaurant [considering the usual price range in French Polynesia]. Our overwater bungalow was very spacious and had a wonderful view. There are no OW bungalows facing each other in this hotel which is great. Five star stay, really (complimentary bottle of wine upon learning it was our honeymoon was a nice touch).

Margarida Portugal

Very accomodating staff. Everything is kick back and the answer is always yes.

Kenneth United States of America

Breakfast was excellent and the staff was VERY Friendly/helpful. You could not do better!

Mark United States of America

staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. the location is excellent and the beach and grounds are outstanding. the food was great and the sunsets couldn’t be beat! great value.

Anastasia United States of America

We stayed in the beach bungalow and the overwater bungalow. The overwater bungalow was amazing, the price reflects that. The beachfront bungalow was ok and not the best for the price. Location was great.

Paul United States of America

Overwater bungalow. Being able too jump in the ocean any time you wanted to.. the hotel grounds were beautifully kept. The view from the restaurant and bar were fabulous. The chef was really good.. the breakfast was varied and fresh. The little electric car they rented us to explore the island was fun. Excellent dive company next door who will pick you up for high octane tiputa pass dives several times per day.

Joseph United States of America

The food was incredible. Our bungalow with a private beach was great. It was nice and cool inside even though it was HOT outside. The shower and outdoor bathtub were amazing. The staff also gave us 50% off our upgrade which was incredibly nice of them since it was our honeymoon :)

Taylor United States of America

Beautiful hotel, everything was perfect! Clean, close to the airport, extraordinary staff, attentive, take care of us, always smiling and helping. Well done to the staff!! We were very lucky! For my birthday, the hotel gave us an extra night in the villa with private pool! Thanks a lot. We enjoyed it very much and are very grateful. We highly recommend this hotel!!

Helene France

This property is dreamy. From the moment we were picked up, until the time we were dropped off, the staff was simply amazing. They went out of their way to make sure you were having a trip of a lifetime.
