“The hosts are an amazing couple and the sweetest. We loved our stay at the beautiful bungalows. They were so helpful in finding us an automatic car when it seemed they were all booked elsewhere. We loved walking the dock and snorkeling with all the fish there. Stay here you won't regret it!!!”

“We had an ocean facing bungalow. This was a free upgrade! We believe experience would have been equal in any room. Great place to get away from a hurried life. Everything is there to enjoy. Good snorkeling at the pier and excellent snorkeling with a short kayak ride to the reef. Coral is in good shape on the reef. We saw sing rays and sharks from the pier. Saw turtles while kayaking. Bikes can take you to the grocery store 1 mile away. In room cook top and fridge make it possible to prep meals. All included in the accomodations. There is privacy on the patios but a large common area for socializing with other travelers. Social distancing isn't an issue , there is plenty of space. Owners are kind and generous. Pharmacy 7 miles up the road does pre departure COVID test.”

“David and Vanessa are excellent hospitality business managers, welcome and friendly. They not only took care of our requests, but also anticipated our needs. If all of these would not be more than enough, they offered a couple of freebies. Linareva is located in a beautiful and peaceful place with the mountains on the back and great coral reefs to explore snorkeling just out of their pier. There are permanent turtles that we visited every afternoon, and black tip and nursing sharks to be seen from the pier. As we stayed for 12 days, we rented a car to explore the island and we would recommend the same for long stays. We did some basic cooking and the kitcken in our room was equipped sufficiently. We are alredy missing Linareva and its wonderful people. As it is clear at this ponit, I highly recommend it!”

“Remote location, kitchen in the room, close to the beach. Free parking and lots of restaurants near by. The owners live on the property.”

“The lovely husband and wife management team provided exceptional, responsive, and sincere results to any and all arrangements we needed to make our stay effortless. Beautiful grounds, nice bicycles, kayaks and long well constructed sunset and snorkeling pier in a peaceful laid back part of the island. Wonderful continental breakfast served outside our door on our covered deck. The highlight of our multi island vacation.”

“Attentive owners David and Vanessa create a welcoming environment and will do anything for their guests. Beautiful well-kept grounds. Great dock to snorkel off with reef with colorful fish and black-tip sharks. Rooms are rustic but have what you need and are kept clean by a great staff. Good wifi. Groceries and restaurants nearby. Car is advisable however. Bikes, kayaks and snorkeling gear free to use.”

“I truly appreciated our hosts’ exceptional hospitality! From making us feel completely at home to offering wonderful recommendations for restaurants and excursions, we could not have been more pleased. The staff were wonderful. The scale of Linareva was wonderfully private and the feeling tranquil and idyllic. The grounds are lovely with a beautiful mountain backdrop and gorgeous lagoon and reef in front.”

“The location was excellent, far away from all the tourist area yet full of life. The hostess at the resort was more than accommodating, even with their limited English they always made sure we had everything we needed. We actually got to meet the owners with their family and they made us feel as part of the family. If you want to stay at a true vacation place full of serenity and relaxation, then this is your place. The beach and snorkeling was excellent, we got visited by a nurse shark the first night, followed by stingrays and black tip sharks. This was an amazing honeymoon. Thank you Linareva for making this so memorable and we will see you soon.”

“We ordered an excellent breakfast the 1st morning. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful view of the ocean and nice pier. Excellent snorkeling off the pier.”

“This is a lovely, low key property with a welcoming staff and an ambiance that forces you to relax. If fancy resorts are not your thing, this is a well-priced alternative. We enjoyed breakfast on our front porch each morning, but you can also bring your own food if you prefer to do it yourself. Staff will arrange dinner reservations for you and most restaurants provide free transportation. The sharks come out at around 5pm and provide the early evening entertainment. Overall, a very relaxing and genuine welcome to French Polynesia!”
