No AC So many mosquitos The restaurant was closed

I only wanted to go to Raiatea to see the world heritage site, Taputapuatea, and for the excursion around Taha, so we only spent 2 nights, which was enough. This island is not as lovely as the others we visited. Unfortunately it rain and the ocean was very rough so no boat trip which bummed me out. The rain did let up enough for us to see the UNESCO site. I picked this hotel because it is next to the UNESCO site. Unfortunately, I chose a beach villa and not the other room type as the beach villas do not have AC. They do have a ceiling fan. I mentioned the rain because I am unsure if it caused the horrendous mosquito problem or if it is always there. This is also where the no AC comes in; there are no scenes on the windows, and I am really, really allergic, so we could not open the windows. There is a screen about 6 inches long that runs around the top of the walls, as well as a ceiling fan. We had to use a towel to open and close the sliding door to keep the mosquitos out. The room was nice and well-appointed, and the bathroom was fabulous. The staff was very good, but they spoke very little English. However, we got through that just fine—there was no Wi-Fi in the room and 6 French TV stations. Usually, we would not even know that, but with the rain we stayed in the room. The hotel is not walkable, and the restaurant was not working when we were there, but you could order from a menu, and they would deliver the food to your door. They have cars there that you can rent. You cannot drink the water so bring it with you.

This property is amazing, the location is right in front of a lagoon and reef with drop off. Also this place is positioned just next door to the most significant Marae in Polynesian history. Also, the staff were the best, they did everything for us, and were really helpful. And their food was fantastic as well . Thank you so much 😆

The internet was very hit of miss in the room, seemed okay in the restaurant area, it did go completely the morning Il left, but I think that was a network issue. The roof was nosey when it was winding or raining, which wasn't am issue for me, but could be an issue for someone who finds it hard to sleep.

Great beachside bungalow, beautiful spot. It close to Taputapuatea Marae, but a bit of the drive from the main town, airport of ferry terminal. Staff were friendly. Very relaxing spot.

The large local population of semi wild Roosters start crowing way too early.

The staff were very kind and accommodating, putting up with our terrible French. The manager/owner was especialy helpful. Amazing remote absolute beach front location off the coral gardens and right next door to the Marae Taputapuatea. Breakfast and lunch and local take out dinner they organised for a Sunday were good.

Would have preferred dinner from restaurant on site. Not open only for breakfast and lunch. May be it is customary.

Charming modern bungalow on sea. Owner and staff very accommodating. Location inside UNESCO sacred site. Wonderful restaurant and chef

A little expensive for the quality of accommodations.

Great location next to Marae Taputapuatea- you can walk there. Our garden cottage had an ocean view. Very quiet and peaceful. Well equipped kitchen but you can chose to eat breakfast or dinner at their restaurant.

The setting was fabulous! And the owner was beyond helpful. The only drawback was the distance from the main town. The lovely view, proximity to a hiking trail and UNESCO site made up for that.

Mozzies who loved eating me but I guess I'm nice and juicy I found a natural solution at beach to calm my skin down

Tena korua Marie raua ko Ronnie Everything Marie is exceptional she keeps the place running smoothly and clean and tidy. Staff are so friendly and helpful, the cooked meals are huge enough for two meals. Swimming and location beautiful, accomodation spectacular views and Marie so insightful placed me at end bungalow. Ronnie organized the tours who picked me up at pontoon literally around the corner. The most memorable was taputapuatea Marae highlight and Faaroa river ride Havana tours uplifting nga taonga tuku iho o nga tupuna. Also Ta'aha tour Vanilla, Pearl and Rum farm and bonus snorkeling coral reef mama also whipped up a kete and potae for us to take home from coconut leaves. Amazing location, beautiful people, quiet and tranquil and healing and spiritual. Nga mihi

This is a small, low key bungalow resort on the shore, located away from other development. The delightful owner, Marie, is French and the clientele appears to be mostly French. However, Marie is fluent in English and could not possibly be more helpful to her guests. Excellent breakfast and lunch are available in the open-air dining room. If one does not wish to drive for dinner, Marie collects orders off the menu of a nearby restaurant, and these are delivered to your bungalow. The restaurant is referred to as the "Snack," but it's quite a bit more than that. The resort has a power boat for snorkeling trips to nearby Motu des Oiseaux.

We really loved Maries place, such a wonderfull and peacefull place. There is a great big housereaf just in front of the hotel, where we saw turtles, eaglerays, sharks and Manta rays,just amazing. We loved our beachfront bungalow, with an amazing view over the ocean, with a kitchen, and our terrace, hammock and beachchairs. Marie has a little restaurant too that is open for breakfast and lunch, lovely food and service. For dinner we made our own food or ordered from the nearby snackbar, through Marie, and they then deliver it afterwards. There is a mini market 1,5-2 km from there, you can borrow Maries bike or car to go there,and do some groceryshopping, that worked perfect for us. This is a wonderfull place in Raiatea,we hope someday to come back and visit again. Dont miss to go out on the pier/ponton in the night, there are so many stars, and the Milky Way, so beautifull.
