    We would have liked another set of bed sheets to use as we where there for 8 days

    We hired a car which made it much easier to get about as the apartment not walking distance to any shops

    Parking spot was very small and tight. Expectation for 2 cars there was not realistic and we noticed another guest had to park across the street during our stay. The landscaping man working there helped us figure out things and was very friendly like most Polynesians. One of the neighbors was pretty uptight about how i parked like nitpicking and that wasn't appreciated. Some of the appliances need an upgrade. The oven knob was completely broken and it was hard to pinch the control to turn on oven. The refrigerator has rust spots all over it and that was not nice to look at. I didn't see anything up front about a deposit required and that was something I had to do at the last second before our stay. Deposit was returned fully though as we respected the property.

    Great view - was fun to watch all the action in lagoon and see the airport activity across the lagoon. Very comfortable and great air condition. Feel this property was a good value for the island.

    Long way to town centre if you ride a bike. I recommend hiring an electric bike or scooter.

    Cleanness of the place and facilities. The view, close to the sea. Kind attention of the manager.

    Being located on the only road in the island, we could hear the noise coming from the street. Earplugs can help. Besides that if was nice and quite area.

    The facilities are great. The place was spotless and perfect for our needs .Beautiful view included.

    It was extremely loud, I could hear all the neighbours and the traffic. And when I asked for toilet paper they said I should buy in a supermarket…absolutely no go by this price.

    Nice place to relax

    The beach/snorkeling across from the apartment is slightly disappointing (not the fault of apartment) as a fair bit of trash

    We had a great stay in Bora Bora. The apartment had a great feel and lovely outlook. We really enjoyed being able to cook our own meals and dining on the balcony. Although the apartment is 20 mins by scooter from town, we did not find it to be a hassle. The apartment is well setup with everything you need. Really appreciated the pick up from the ferry/airport.

    More trouble than all our other bookings together

    Be advised that this is not the Moana resort next door with overwater bungalows. It is a studio unit next door in the largest, most brutalistic concrete structure on the island, visible all the way to the airport. The view in the posting is the balcony. The unit itself is tired, 1980s utilitarian. The cabinets were painted grey and are sticky. As others mentioned, the oven knob is broken but will be carefully balanced on the shaft so that you can worry whether you will be charged for breaking it. They provided less than 2 cm of (diluted) shampoo and soap for our 3 night stay LOL. The front entry door was sawed off too short on the bottom so there is a strange ad hoc sponge thing that sticks and prevents you from opening it. The couch suspension is broken so it's super uncomfortable. There is a uselessly microscopic "coffee table" in front of it. There is a bizarre arrangement of a little retracting wire attached to the key so that you have to open the lock box every time you enter. OK, dated and eccentric, but whatever. The main problem, in our view, was not the unit but the management. First of all, we were hit up for a 150.00 Euro "security deposit" after our booking was confirmed by prepayment. Then extra "rules" came. Next they failed to provide entry information a week in advance as promised. After begging we received it the night before, but no lockbox code! We begged for it, expecting they would overlook it as well, but we MUST wait until 3 hours before entry time. Sooo... there we are in their parking lot at sunset with no entry code. Their phone number is in France. They don't answer. Booking.com threatened them with a rebooking by email and finally we got in (so they were looking after all). Finally, they kept our security deposit. No reason given. After a lot of calling, Booking.com apologized and promised to refund the security deposit, which we are still waiting for.

    We wanted a reasonably priced crash pad for climbing Mt. Pahia and visiting Matira Beach. It suited our purpose. AC and new washing machine for your salty swimsuit. We could prepare meals in the kitchen. The parking is secure. The bed was fine. The ring road is noisy (right under the balcony) but all rentals on the main island are near it, so whatever.

    We did not receive the code -had to wait 30 min. and make several calls and send emails to get entry information

    Once we were made aware of the access code-it was easy access

    You can hear the road traffic but on the north side of the island its not too bad.

    Clean. Well equiped. Everything you need is in the studio. Nice view on sea. Close to the water.
