"Newly updated room and bathroom with access to an outside kitchen area. The room itself was clean and comfortable and the shower was really nice. Walking distance from a fantastic restaurant (Ixora) and a long walk/short bicycle ride from downtown. The couple that owns the place are attentive, warm and welcoming. They were eager to make sure we had what we needed and let us use their bicycles to explore. Wonderful people."

"I admit, when in FP I want the 5 star overwater bungalow experience…but we were blown away by the design, attention to detail and beauty of our room at Apatoa! Pinned as “Glamping” due to the structures it was anything but! On entering our room we were met with a five star interior! The pool is lovely, as was our private pool on the deck overlooking the lagoon. There is a beautiful fish filled reef just at the end of the dock. You can swim for hours with the fish, right out your front door! Dinners were impressive and the owners accommodating and friendly. The Island of Raiatea is laid back and peaceful. We highly recommend a visit to this hotel!"

"This is an absolute haven of tranquility and you don’t expect a lodge like that while driving down the East coast of Raiatea. The garden is stunning and you can read about all the plants. By the small beach is a lily pond and the hillside is a jungle of the most amazing vegetation. I was greeted very warmly and shown around, there is a beautiful communal area with a kitchen that is fully stocked and then you have little spaces in and outside of the fridge for the things you buy for yourself. There are no meals offered, you have to prepare them yourself. "
