The hype
The snorkeling and location are world-class, but the rooms feel tired and the food prices are eye-watering.

如果以下情況適用，請預訂 You want the best snorkeling on the island right off your deck and don't mind a property that's showing its age before a major 2026 refresh.
為什麼人們喜歡它
- Aquarium-grade snorkeling directly under the overwater bungalows
- Located on Temae Beach, widely considered the most beautiful public beach on Mo'orea
- No motorboats allowed in the lagoon, making it peaceful and safe for swimming
快速概覽： A legendary location with incredible marine life that is currently coasting on its reputation while waiting for a much-needed renovation.
由 @MaddieWeir8149953 評論: I stayed in the Horizon View bungalow and it was a dream. The glass floor was my favorite part—saying hi to fish from my room! Jumping off the deck into that blue water is a core memory now.

Reality check
You are paying for the lagoon access, not modern luxury—expect worn grout, dated furniture, and slow service.
- You are a snorkeling fanatic who wants to see sharks and rays before breakfast
- You prefer a quiet, motor-free lagoon over jet skis and powerboats
- You want that classic 'glass floor' Tahitian bungalow experience
清潔與維護
7
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally good, but missed spots and sand are common complaints.
- Bathroom hygiene: The biggest weak point—expect tired grout, water stains, and aging fixtures.
- Maintenance: Showing its age. Peeling paint, worn decks, and AC units that struggle are frequent issues.
- Linens & towels: Clean but can feel worn/scratchy due to age and humidity.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh ocean breeze, but garden rooms can smell damp or musty.

常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden 'resort fee', but there is a small daily city tax (~$1.80/person) and a 5% service charge on some bills.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Barely. 'Fare La Canadienne' (burgers) is about 400m away, but most other dining requires a taxi or rental car.
Do the overwater bungalows have glass floors?
Yes, both Superior and Luxury Overwater bungalows have glass viewing panels in the floor.
Is the pool heated?
No, but the lagoon is usually warm enough (78-84°F) that you won't mind.
How is the WiFi?
Serviceable for emails and light browsing, but don't expect to stream 4K video reliably.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. If not, expect to pay around 4,000 XPF (~$36 USD) per person.
內幕秘訣
- ✨
Book a table at 'K Restaurant' for Thursday or Friday night well in advance—it's the only fine dining on sand.
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes up the hill to the Toatea Lookout for the best photo of the resort and lagoon.
- ✨
Buy alcohol and snacks at the duty-free in Tahiti or a supermarket before arriving; resort markups are high.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The 'Luxury' overwater bungalows are significantly larger (51m²) than the 'Superior' (31m²) and have a better layout.
💡You can drift snorkel from the pier back to the beach with the current—it's a lazy river of coral.
💡The roosters are not a joke; they will wake you up before sunrise.
💡Room service tray charges are steep; check the fine print.
💡The beach is public (Temae Beach), so on weekends, locals will be picnicking and playing music right next to the resort boundary.
