Best Resorts in Motu Toopua

"This is an awesome place - lovingly created and cared for by the owners. There is beautiful art all around and the view is amazing. But keep in mind that it's not for everyone. It's set back on a hill in the jungle. Getting to the beach involves riding a bike 15-20 minutes or renting a scooter or car. We got a car. I wouldn't recommend it for seniors, young children or people with mobility issues. There are some steps down to the bathroom and the walkways can be a little tricky for older folks. "

"Gorgeous view from our room, the staff was amazing and attentive! We loved everything about our stay! "

"We stayed in an overwater villa with a pool and looking directly at Mount Otemanu on the front row. I couldn’t fault the accomodation. Spectacular views, Clean modern and well designed villa. Super comfy bed, pillows and furniture in the villa. A huge viewing window for looking into the water and every night 3 stingrays would come and swim under the window. Amazing This should be on your bucket list of to do’s in life. It’s not cheap but worth every penny. Simply paradise. Staff are fantastic and any issues are immediately rectified. Bora Bora is truly heaven on earth. "

"The overwater bungalow was a beautiful experience. The amenities were plentiful, it is very hard to be bored with the included amenities. From making hats, to kayaking, snorkeling, etc all on the property and can be reached either from a short walk or swim. The staff were kind and pleasant to be around especially Ms. Barbara. "

"Had money go missing from our room and I got food poisoning "

" The peace and quiet and lushness of the landscaping. The crystal visibility of the water surrounding the resort. Everything else was great."

"Amazing property and the staff were exceptional!! "

"Tiare met us at the dock when we arrived. We had arranged to rent a car from them for 9000fp/day. She showed us around the town a little bit to point out where to get groceries, where the bank was. Before handing over the keys to the car, we dropped her off at her home a short distance from town. Jackfruit were in season and she had some ripe ones on her property so she gave us one. She also provided a phone with a local number we could use to contact her or Nir if needed. The drive from the town to the property took about 20min. The place was amazing. It was rather windy most of the days but inside the room, you couldn't tell and road traffic was barely noticeable. Looking over the balcony, we could see numerous fish but the small shark we saw stopped my wife from going in the water. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were decent. The air conditioning worked great and the place was clean, welcoming and well laid out. The water pressure was strong and the hot water was hot. There was some snorkeling equipment available which was well used but functional. The toilet paper was even better than that providing in most places. There was a Nespresso coffee maker which my wife was grateful for. There was a small washing machine with a clothes line outside on the balcony. The only thing that would have been nice to have been provided were a few laundry pods."

"Our final lodging experience during our 3 week trip to French Polynesia was awful. We booked a 5 night stay but left after 1 night because of the unacceptable noise levels from the construction directly behind our bungalow. We woke up to incredibly loud sawing and grinding - and when it continued throughout breakfast, we finally asked the manager what was going on. She unapologetically told us this would not stop and then after 15 minutes yelled across the dock to us that the noise would subside. 5 minutes later, the grinding noises were replaced by repetitive loud hammer sounds. This lasted from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. During that time, we decided to find an alternative accommodation as our goal to coming to Tahiti was to relax and this hotel was ruining our vacation. Later that day after we had already left, we received another message from the manager that the construction was supposed to be have been completed before our arrival but they had a date change and were sorry. The lack of transparency prior to booking, along with the lack of transparency when we arrived was unacceptable. Furthermore, the staff was not at all proactive and only did not try to resolve or make the situation better. No offer of a refund or complimentary activity - nothing. Overall, the lack of hospitality was absolutely baffling. Along with these issues, the price per night was way too high for the age of the property, poor quality of food, and dirty indoor and outdoor spaces and furniture. "
