Great rooms, shame about the hospitality! This small lodge is charming and well-decorated, but the hospitality leaves much to be desired. The management are unwelcoming and unhelpful, which is reflected in their responses to reviews. One major issue was the lack of food on site bar present with no snacks or meals —only a basic breakfast of fruit, mixed mini bread and jams was provided without warning, leaving us stranded without options. With no help offered to find alternatives, I had nothing to eat and relied on Motu Grill for dinner when that was open. If you’re not renting a vehicle or traveling solo, I’d avoid this place. I had the beach room view. Beautifully decorated, however can be noisy at night. The hosts made you feel like you were an intruder in their house, dogs barking, walls thin, no smiles as you leave or enter your room as you are in their house. The air conditioning is also a problem, as you can’t adjust the temperature, which is inconvenient. Also strict on no outside food policy and strict rule’s around pool area hence reluctant to use amenities. The beach is convenient , with broken coral and pebbles, though it does offer a nice view of Tahiti. Moorea bring your reef shoes. Pros: Nice premise, pool and bar. breakfast staff friendly ,Rock pools, Moto Grill next door Charming rooms . Eco -friendly culture more for romantic couples avoiding crowds. Ocean bungalows. Tips : Remote area away from town. Need own transportation. Avoid beach room view, Limited food and grocery options, so organised your own. Missing welcoming vibe that should be expected . Zero variety in breakfast and food choices. Long induction with accommodation policy. Need reef shores for the pebbly beachfront. Beware, of dogs and roosters on-site if you’re a light sleeper. More like an AirBNB with an average host.
