Sweet couple run this place. They were so kind and helpful. Took me to the store twice!!! Brought chocolate croissants on my 1st morning The cabin was clean and a basic kitchen and dining table so meals could be prepared. The snorkeling right off the shore and out to the orange bout to the east was amazing. I loved just hanging out and reading and sunning in the garden but I do recommend having a car. I never saw a mosquito or had any bug problems outside or in the cabin Very clean and well kept
This place was AMAZING! The couple that owns and hosts were so kind and sweet! I loved the little pool which was right at the waterfront โค๏ธ itโs quiet and peaceful and was the perfect get away. I got up early each morning to surf, dive, explore and got to enjoy gorgeous sunrises and would make it back just in time to enjoy the sunset! Iโll definitely be back here on my next visit โ๏ธ
We gave this 5 stars because the location and amenities fit us perfectly and it was exactly what we needed. We stayed for 4 glorious restful days. Victor, our host, was very careful about giving us our privacy yet extremely helpful with setting up with anything we needed. Henrique, his helper was also very helpful. Victor even arranged for us to receive a coconut (each) and Henrique opened them right in front of us. The juice was delicious and so was the meat. I didnโt know coconut meat could be so soft and easy to access. The bungalow was immaculately clean. Our huge freshwater tub was cleaned and filled upon our arrival and was very refreshing in hot weather as well as after a long swim in the lagoon and outdoor shower. There were stores nearby where we bought supplies for meals and a galley kitchen with stove, cooking plates and small fridge. Everything we needed after a 30 hour transit time from home. It was so nice to sleep with open windows and doors overlooking Victorโs beautiful garden and the lagoon. Even the rain was pleasant as we could sit out on the porch. The continuous breeze wafted with the enticing smell of tiare and plumbago flowers early morning and evening. The small fish pond was full of fish and a beautiful place to sit and think or meditate. We were entertained for hours watching the antics of the birds. I have to add that Victorโs wife was also very welcoming and helpful. She even sent Victor to us in the rain with blankets in case we got cold!
The remoteness of this property is what we loved the most. Listening to the waves and nature sounds. The hosts are incredible and they are Tahitian! Its always great to know that we are giving back to the caregivers of original lands and their source of income. We would definitely return here. Its a place that is filled with aroha.
Accommodation was dated but OK for a stay of one night. It is not suitable for kids as there is no beach and the ocean begins immediately at a depth of ten to twelve feet.
Called home by our government due to the coronavirus
You see, thatโs the thing of it. In the formulaic responses I canโt give it superlatives yet I would rather stay here than the Manava Resort. It is delightfully charming and comfortable. Itโs the kind of place where I could hang out the whole day and feel Iโve had a full one. We snorkeled inside and outside the reef, paddled about in the kayaks Victor provides and watched whales breaching just beyond the reef. I have to be careful not to wax too elegaic lest I wonโt be able to find a place there next time I come to Tahiti.
