The hype
The location and lagoon are world-class, but the rooms feel tired and in need of a refresh.

$500-1100/ noc
Zarezerwuj to, jeśli You want to wake up, jump off your deck, and immediately snorkel with sharks and rays without taking a boat tour.
Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Incredible snorkeling directly under the overwater bungalows
- Stunning mountain backdrop (Mount Rotui) that beats Bora Bora's flat horizons
- The overwater Toatea Crêperie where you watch reef sharks while eating dessert
Szybki przegląd: An aging grande dame that coasts on its spectacular location and marine life while the hardware slowly deteriorates.
Przejrzane przez @maui_tam: My stay in this garden bungalow was the perfect romantic escape. I loved waking up to those mountain views and having a private pool for a quiet dip. It felt like our own little hidden sanctuary in paradise, completely separate from the rest of the resort.

Reality check
You are paying for the marine life and the view, not for modern 5-star luxury fittings.
- You are an avid snorkeler who wants easy access to coral and fish
- You prefer the lush, jagged mountain scenery of Mo'orea over the flat atolls of Bora Bora
- You are a Hilton Honors Diamond member utilizing free breakfast benefits
Czystość i Konserwacja
7.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed details like dusting high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Grout lines show age, and humidity can cause minor mildew issues if not aggressively managed.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Expect peeling paint, weathered decking, and occasional broken fixtures (blinds, fans).
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton quality—clean and crisp, but beach towels can be frayed.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh ocean breeze, but some garden rooms can smell musty due to the tropical humidity.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is breakfast included?
Only if you book a specific rate or have Hilton Gold/Diamond status. Otherwise, expect to pay ~$50 USD per person.
Can I swim with sharks right from my room?
Yes, blacktip reef sharks and stingrays frequently patrol the waters directly beneath the overwater bungalows.
Is there a resort fee?
No explicit 'resort fee', but a small daily city tax applies. Service charges are often added to bills.
How do I get there from Tahiti?
Take the ferry (Aremiti or Terevau) from Papeete (30-45 mins), then a 20-minute taxi to the resort.
Are the garden bungalows worth it?
They are spacious and have private pools, but the pools are unheated and often too cold. Good for families, but less 'magical' than overwater.
Is the water deep enough to jump in?
Yes, but check the tide. It's generally waist-to-chest deep around the bungalows, perfect for standing but shallow for diving.
