Lovely location (beautiful views!) with amazing staff (shout out to Ghislaine!). It is a bit expensive and things like the bike and scooter rentals are add-ons as well, but this is what I'd expect in an isolated area like this. Do recommend!

Of the 5 luxury resorts we have been to in French Polynesia, this is our favorite because it is very nice, very quiet and very relaxing. While is it not as luxurious as the 5 star resorts in Bora Bora - it isn't as expensive or busy. We never waited for a table for a meal and always found open loungers by the pool. The staff were all gracious and friendly. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place with great food.
