Lovely resort. We had an ocean view hut with hot tub. We enjoyed it very much. We snorkeled right off the beach. There is only one restaurant. It's lovely but pricey especially the drinks ( averaging $15-25). Other local eateries are snack places. Not bad but limited menus. Don't miss snorkeling the aquarium and drifting the pass

The most beautiful resort you can imagine. Off the beaten track but well worth the extra flight, with stunning variety of marine life right next to your room (overwater bungalow). Close to world-class scuba-diving spots also. Restaurant and bar were wonderful with highlight being cocktails at sunset and the Polynesian buffet/entertainment evenings. Service was always impeccable.

Beautiful setting amongst groves of palm trees, with good swimming/snorkeling. Beach-front bungalow was great for lounging by the water (loved the hammocks), though wish room was better lit and had AC that worked in both rooms.

This is a very remote location, so best if you really like to dive and snorkel. Not many places to go to, or other restaurants. Blue lagoon trip was great on a quiet sea day. With the leaky wood loovered side windows, there was so much air leakage that we never got cool. AC was underpowered for that.

Incredible location with a friendly, attentive staff. Bungalows are large and well-equipped, some with beach front, others small private pools. Activities are organized every day so you can mix it up, sun, sand and day trips. We’re having an amazing time!

Overwater bungalow was fabulous. Very pricey so we just stayed two nights there and additional nights in a garden bungalow, reviewed elsewhere. Still cheaper than Bora Bora. This overwater experience was well worth it for once in our lives. The ten units are laid out in a long arc around a big coral garden that is great for snorkeling though not many from the garden bungalows seem to realize it’s there. Literally hundreds if not thousands of fish of all sizes and colors. Watch from the dock, watch via snorkel, take your pick. And then you get to the room with that glass window in the floor to watch the show below your unit! A giant school of foot long fish seemed to hang out all the time under our unit. Except when the black tipped shark came through. Or the gang of small (young?) dolphins came around to pick off the weakest or slowest in the herd. Nature in the raw. Jumping off the deck to swim was fun too, this old bird got to relive his childhood. Didn’t skinny dip but you could do it here. Snorkeling with the sharks, fish watching from your room, it was worth the price. The exquisite room was for me just the icing on the cake, though others might value the room more and fish watching less. Very large room with king bed and single day bed was very modern very elegant. Stylish furnishings everywhere. Real luxury. Big bathroom with bath and walk in shower. All in all a very pampered experience with that unique fish watching as well.

I get tired of writing reviews for Expedia but I can’t not commend this resort. It is pricey but do you know how far it is to the nearest alternative?? This is remote Polynesia. I have visited several of Tahiti’s islands, this place stands out for quality znd complete experience in a locale that makes that hard to pull off. Rooms are very nicely appointed for a real feeling of elegance. The grounds are a former palm tree plantation so you get a feel of how the old economy worked. Restaurant is absolutely wonderful for a combination of European American and Asian styles on top of Tahitian dishes. Activity center very helpful to go on lagoon cruises dolphin watching etc. staff is very multi lingual. Everyone speaks at least English and French. We stayed in both a garden bungalow and the overwater bungalow. Both excellent but the overwater experience is really something to behold at least once in your life. And cheaper here than Bora Bora.

Hotel was conveniently located close to the airport. The property was beautiful, however needs improvement as far as the rooms go. Mattresses are terrible and the bedding is most likely the original. There were stains on the comforter and it made it difficult to sleep on. It looks like they updated the bathroom area and that was nice. A/C was perfect! There was also a lot of burning of trash and debris that brought in thick smoke everyday. It was nauseating.
