"The cleaning staff was very nice,the front desk staff very unpleasant and less helpful-especially some specific persons and restaurant staff slow and like “don’t care”
The breakfast buffet food was less than average,coffee is only instant,no espresso machine that is unacceptable for this hotels class and level.
The rooms definitely need renovation."
"Beautiful property especially over water bungalows. The staff were very attentive, helpful, friendly and gracious. Everyone from the breakfast staff to the dinner staff were so nice. The water sports team was so nice, one gentleman who competes in the outrigger team accompanied me on my 1st outrigger ride to show me the ropes.
The buffet breakfast and French restaurant were delicious. The pool, water sports, restaurants, reef rebuilds are amazing parts of this resort. I would definitely highly recommend this place and go back but after the construction is complete.
There was a lot of construction on the property, which was not mentioned prior on the Expedia website, which was disappointing. You will hear saws, drills and hammers in the distant. Also, construction teams will ride by your over the water bungalows around 8:15- 8:30am, during the day and 4:15-4:30pm. They try to stay a bit further out in distance vs the bungalows. I wished this was disclosed on Expedia’s website."
"Located on probably one of the best locations on the main island of Bora Bora. A great beach on the property, as well as across the street on the other side of the small peninsula.
The bungalows are clean, lovely, cozy yet spacious enough, with large windows, a balcony with direct access to the blue lagoon. A glass coffee table lets you view the fish below. Snorkeling on the artificial reefs below the bungalows is also excellent, lots of colourful fish, rays and octopus.
The restaurant is excellent, and the breakfast has a large selection of options.
The staff is generally helpful and polite with the exception of an older French lady who may be a manager that was over the top sugary-sweet polite to some people, completely ignored others, even at the same table.
The resort seems to have a policy where they allow day use with the purchase of food and drink. We came back a couple of times after we moved to more humble lodgings nearby to enjoy the excellent dining, beach and snorkeling."

2/10 Terrible
"We had an amazing trip overall, but unfortunately our experience with the front desk/assistant manager left us disappointed. While he was not outright rude or mean, his attitude came across as dismissive and unhelpful, especially when we were trying to get clarification about our stay benefits.
One of the biggest issues was that our reservation included a $300 food and beverage credit. When we asked about it, we were told that we did not have one, so we moved forward assuming that information was correct. Later, while we were already checking out and preparing to leave for our flight, another front desk employee, Lori, kindly looked into it and informed us that we did in fact have the credit. By that point, we only had a few minutes to try to use it, which was incredibly frustrating and disappointing.
Lori was very sweet, helpful, and professional, and we truly appreciated her taking the time to give us the correct information, even though it unfortunately came too late to really benefit from it.
We were also disappointed that the room we received did not match what was advertised when booking. After a long day of travel, we were too exhausted to deal with changing rooms and decided to stay, but it added to the feeling that expectations were not being met.
Mistakes happen, but accurate information and a more helpful attitude at the front desk could have made a huge difference in our experience."
