    Since you're up in the jungle, there are lots of mosquitos. Make sure you bring a bug repellent of some kind for the mosquitos. They sell some at the supermarket on Tahiti but if you have a favorite citronella candle you like, bring it with you!

    This place is AMAZING. We stayed in Vai Iti, which had an uninterrupted view of the sea and it was not visible by anyone; we had COMPLETE privacy and our own jacuzzi and hammock. The property is nestled up in the jungle and we were able to enjoy all the sounds of nature and no people sounds at all. (Due to the remote location, make sure you get a car!) All this combined with the extremely reasonable price and I would 110% stay here again.

    The wifi was pretty slow/spotty, even in the restaurant area. The restaurant is quite expensive for what you get, but there isn't really much else in the area. We ended up getting groceries in the Carrefour, and just eating in the bungalow.

    The view from Kava was absolutely phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting at our table and watching the waves and sunset. It was also quiet enough that we could hear the waves at night - somewhat surprising given how far up the side of the mountain the property sits. They were also very easy to work with. Due to traffic in Papeete, we were late arriving, but they worked with us to make sure we were still able to get in for the night. We weren't bothered by it much, but there will definitely be bugs. Bring bug spray and use the mosquito nets if you are in a bungalow that's open air.

    Nothing much….perhaps a little more advice on locating restaurants on the nights that the lodges restaurant was closed.

    This was a tropical hideaway in a great location with a huge comfortable bungalow, a great restaurant with the most beautiful view of the sea.

    We were not given towels for the pool and were limited to just 2 towels, to be used for beach, pool and showers. WiFi was very weak and limited in location.

    the location and the views were wonderful! We loved the layout of the place.

    We can’t recommend Vanira Lodge enough for at least part of your stay in Tahiti. It’s more of a local vibe than touristy Papeete and the grounds are absolutely stunning, relaxing, and private. We booked the vai iti bungalow (with the hot tub on the private deck) and highly recommend for the romantic and relaxing part of your trip. The views are spectacular and the nearby beach was one of the most beautiful we saw on the whole island.

    it was magical waking up to the view of the ocean. the cabins are all different and beautiful, the grounds full of tropical flowers. we stayed in Ofai which was one of the highest and open cabins. it was airy and comfortable. no WiFi in the cabin, only by the reception/restaurant. the Lodge offered breakfast and dinner (not everyday for dinner), though we made food in the kitchen

    The mosquitoes are horrible- but that’s fully disclosed in the description. They’re not kidding when they say to bring lots of bug spray!
