"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!"

We stayed for 11 days and truly enjoyed the entire experience. The staff were amazing, friendly, knew our names and our favorite drinks every time we walked to the bars/restaurants. Check-in was easy and friendly. We were in Bungalow 9 which was amazing - we couldn't see any other huts from our bungalow or our deck. Sunrise huts are great because they get full sun on the deck from sunrise until about 4:30pm which is awesome! Some of the other units didn't have full sun all day.

Everything about this hotel was fine. The room is large enough, it is clean an comfortable. The restaurant is right on the beach edge. The service is great. The only thing I would recommend is to extend the breakfast time to 10 am instead of 9 am.
We liked the owner and appreciate her efforts to make our stay happy. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed at the Pearl Beach for 9 nights to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. The hotel service was fantastic, being greeted each morning by our names by the second day. The hotel was quiet, allowing for rest and relaxation. The views were fabulous and the hotel grounds were exceptionally clean. We treated ourselves to the couples massage and it was fantastic, and also did the jet ski lagoon tour--a definite must! We will definitely be going back!!

Main issue is the place is a little difficult to find. Partially, this is the lack of clean street addresses on the island. You can't just search for it in google maps and need to use the map provided that is buried in the host message.
