"Beach access to snorkel or kayak "

"We stayed two days prior to catamaran cruise. Close to the airport and the marina. Very friendly and helpful staff. On site restaurant was excellent. "

"Very comfortable. Wonderful view. Plus a coral garden right off the beach. "

"Everything about this property was an 11 out of 10. It was quiet and relaxing, the pool was nice and clean. The view was amazing. We were provided an extensive list of activities and eateries in the area. We loved our little bungalow"

"We arrived late afternoon and were unable to open the lock box to access the key. Our USA phone would not connect a local call so we had to find someone with a phone willing to call the local cohost to get us in. We found out that we had been given the wrong code. We loved the folding glass doors opening our room up to a beautiful view. The other two wood doors to access the bathroom and the front door were such a tight fit we had trouble opening and closing them. The outdoor kitchen is a good idea but it was constantly flooded with water during this time of year. It was also poorly equipped with dishes and towels and cleaning products. We did enjoy the use of the kayaks! It would have been nice to have a couple of plastic lounge chairs to sit in on the deck."

"We spent two nights at Hilda and Olivier’s lovely B&B+ as a transition between Maupiti and Taha’a. The bungalow is built and decorated with focus on quality, beauty, and locale. At every turn I saw patience, craftsmanship, and concern for the environment. The bungalows are made to last! The interior is modern in design and amenities. The bedding is of high quality and very comfortable. Ceiling fan plus A/C plus mosquito screens in all windows plus shutters make adjusting to temperature changes easy. I especially noted the lovely cool-ish breeze off the mountains coming through during the night. Are there mosquitos and ants? Of course there are, it’s the tropics. And we weren’t bothered at all. Hilda is a star-quality chef, and the three-course dinners that Olivier delivers to the bungalow are a celebration for the eye and palate. The breakfast, also delivered to the bungalow, is plentiful and includes homemade jams and homegrown fruit. Good coffee, too. I did swim in the salt water pool, and it is long enough for five strokes. While not enough for a workout, it’s lovely for cooling off. Hilda and Olivier go out of their way to be helpful, professional, and friendly. Responses to my emails were prompt. We would stay at Vare Vavae again and recommend it."
