"My husband and I booked sort of a last minute trip to Bora Bora and Raiatea. We booked the last room that was available for our dates at Apatoa. It was called The Prestige Villa. This Villa is a private house located on a hill above the resort. It was absolutely fantastic. There is a large deck with its own Infinity pool and panoramic view of the surrounding island and lagoon. Highly recommended!"

"What a wonderful stay at Fare Pea Iti! The entire experience was special from beginning to end. Poe, the manager and cook, absolutely outdid herself. I’m vegetarian, and she made some of the best vegetarian food I have ever had. Every meal was delicious, creative, and made me feel incredibly well cared for. Captain made our stay even more fun. He picked us up right at the airport and brought us directly to the resort by boat. He also took us to the coral garden and got right in the water and snorkeled with us! Our bungalow was a dream. Beautiful, comfortable, and I even had an outdoor bathroom, which I loved! The grounds are immaculate, the pool is lovely, and the bikes were in great shape and so much fun to use for exploring. And the band! They played two nights while we were there and were SO much fun. It added such a wonderful Polynesian feeling to the evenings. Fare Pea Iti is beautiful, warm, relaxed, and incredibly well cared for. The people made it even more special. We loved our time here and would absolutely recommend it!"

Pension les 3 cascades

Pension les 3 cascades

10/10 Excellent
"There was Wi-Fi but it was not very fast in individual rooms. The kitchen was large and clean, with every pot, pan, plate, and spoon you could want. There was an electric kettle and some basic food supplies like ground coffee, tea, sugar, and salt. The free laundry machine worked well and there was plenty of space to hang up close to dry for free. The front desk offered wide variety of tours, and we took a half day walking tour to see the nearby three waterfalls, which was safe, and very enjoyable. There was room to put your own food in storage and in a large refrigerator. The property has a couple of dogs and a cat that were nice to pet. The staff was very helpful."
