Beautiful house on white sand beach

Beautiful house on white sand beach

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Villa Moe for 10 days and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The house is beautiful and sits right on a private, peaceful, and safe beach where you can snorkel, swim in the warm water, or simply relax and enjoy the incredible surroundings. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds very comfortable, but our favorite feature was the terrace. It was the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee while taking in the spectacular views and, in the evening, watching the most gorgeous sunsets. The location is ideal, with easy access to downtown Papeete, the ferries to Moorea, and other parts of Tahiti, including the beautiful presqu’île. It was the perfect home base for exploring the island while still providing a wonderful place to come back to and unwind. We would absolutely stay at Villa Moe again if we return to Tahiti. It truly felt like a special place, and we were sad to leave! And finally, a huge thank you to our wonderful host, Alban, who was so welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. Alban, merci encore et qui sait, à bientôt !"

"The apartment was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was beautiful appointed. One could tell it was a family get- away! Assuming they have bug control as I was able to kill several roaches. We were exhausted after our cruise so just relaxed and enjoyed the Prime Video shows."

"This is one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed in. Snuggled against the lush mountain side with a spectacular view of the lagoon, the Vanira Lodge is a must if in the Teahupoo area. We stayed here in 2015 and it was magical. We were so excited to be back and it was just as magical as the first time. Merci!"

Punatea Village

Punatea Village

8/10 Good
"This is a great property if you wish to explore the south side of the island, or if you have your own vehicle. Unfortunately it is NOT 2.5 miles from the airport or the cruise ship port. It is on the opposite side of the island, Depending on traffic, a 90 - 150 minute drive. $115 taxi drive. You can get a 3 day tourist bus pass for 1 franc (a bus ride is 4 francs) but the busses stop running at 4:00 local time. The closest grocery store (outstanding selection of fresh fruit & veggies, meats, and baked goods) or restaurant is 2.5 kilometers from Punatea Village. I would stay there again, but only if I had a rental vehicle."

Villa Vaiava - private infinity pool on the beach

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed every bit of our stay here. The property was beautiful and we really appreciated being able to use the SUP and snorkel equipment. Great snorkeling right out the door! The host was very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had. We loved the open air common spaces, The bedroom layout worked perfect for our family and the A/C units in the 3 main bedrooms kept the sleeping temperatures very comfortable. We loved visiting the nearby park and beach and available food trucks next door. This was a perfect place to start our trip before traveling to other islands."

Villa Mitirapa

8/10 Good
"Overall a nice place to stay with a few caveats. Easy check-in with the keys on the counter and quick response by email. We stayed in Aura where two rooms have AC and one does not - was not a problem for our stay. The third room has a fan. The rooms have plenty of open shelf space for clothes.The deck overlooking the lagoon and private pool were favorites. There was a nice breeze during our stay. Bring bug spray though (as with most places on island). It would have been nice to have hand towels and wash clothes, not just bath and beach towels. Also, some hooks in the bedroom to hang up towels or clothes. The shower has body wash and shampoo; some shelves for personal washing supplies would be helpful. There was a lot of roof noise one particular night from what we think were birds collecting seeds from the tree overhead. Our neighbors didn't have the same foilage so this may be specific to our Villa. It bothered some of us more than others, so if you are a light sleeper, the islands of Tahiti in general can be noisy with dogs, roosters and other wildlife. The WiFi worked well but we had to request the password. This proved difficulty since we had spotty personal service. There were chocolates left for us at check-in which was a nice welcome. Thank you for sharing your Villa with us."

"This place is magical. Beautifully landscaped, the decor and layout is inviting and original. The owner, Martine, was incredibly helpful with any needs we had, full of tips on what to do and proud to share her knowledge of the place. It is a tranquil oasis, interrupted only by the clucking of roaming chickens and roosters. Perfect for a relaxing get away in paradise."
