"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."

"I can’t say enough about the hospitality extended to us by Michel, the proprietor. He was so kind, and really made us feel at home. The shared space in the kitchen was really fun. We enjoyed the opportunity to be to meet and talk with other guests. Come here if you want a very comfortable place to relax without the corporate polish of other resorts. Michel gave us a great restaurant recommendation: we loved dinner at the Opoa Beach restaurant, just a short drive down the road. It was one of the most delightful dining experiences I’ve ever had. While here, we snorkeled, sat on comfortable beach chairs, and could have kayaked if we had not been so busy relaxing. Merci Michel!"
