Punaauia Beach Tours and Activities

Close to the airport

Check -in: Confusing. Great greeting..then we were ushered to have a seat in main reception area without being told why. We just wanted to check in and be shown our hotel. After 10 min or so, we were greeted again and then told to scan a an online app on a little board in front of us, and fill out online forms ourselves to check in, and most importantly give our credit crd for incidentals, meaning everything we buy,drinks, lunch,etc. would be billed to room. Along with any damage We finally got our room, and it was great! We got the garden pool suite for first 3 days and Overwater Villa for last 2 days. Both were great! No minibars, which was a surprise. But we got water. For the garden pool Villa, we stayed swimming in the little dunking pool and lounging in the completely closed off yard all day and night. It was great having the option to go au natural! The Overwater Villa we got, (418) was one of the furthest out, and the deepest water, which was kind of nice, since we could view some adult sharks swimming back and forth in front of the villa. You can also climb down and snorkle among the coral to see beautiful fish. Not a ton, but enough. It was a little difficult to get around the coral to explore beyond without going around into the deep where the sharks are, but apparently the sharks are harmless, but I didn't want to test it, so I did not go too far. The villa was beautiful and there was an ice station right on the boardwalk. Pool close too. Wish they t
