10/10 Excellent
"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!"

8/10 Good
"The interior of this bungalow was very nice. Kitchen was well supplied and bedroom was very comfortable. Nice to have an interior dining table and couch. Lots of shelf space to unpack. Nicely sized veranda with table and chairs for outdoor dining, lounge chair and drying rack. Neighborhood was quiet in the evening and nights and weekend. Weekdays however brought construction noise, including a new bungalow directly in front of our veranda. Resulting in no view, noise and dust during the weekdays. Host understood our disappointment in that regard and made a consideration. "
