"I admit, when in FP I want the 5 star overwater bungalow experience…but we were blown away by the design, attention to detail and beauty of our room at Apatoa! Pinned as “Glamping” due to the structures it was anything but! On entering our room we were met with a five star interior! The pool is lovely, as was our private pool on the deck overlooking the lagoon. There is a beautiful fish filled reef just at the end of the dock. You can swim for hours with the fish, right out your front door! Dinners were impressive and the owners accommodating and friendly. The Island of Raiatea is laid back and peaceful. We highly recommend a visit to this hotel!"
"We had a great stay at Havai'i lodge. It's a beautiful and quiet property in a cul-de-sac and the place is comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well equipped. It's shared with another room, but since we were out and about all day and only had our coffee and breakfast at the place, it wasn't a problem. We recommend having a car on Raiatea as it's much easier to get around this beautiful island. The host helped arrange a car for us, which was nice."
"Living area was spotless. The neighbors, which were charming, helped us get in. Location was excellent with a diving shop nearby. It was truly comfortable."
"The staff was awesome. Not only do they exude Polynesian hospitality, they cater to your every need. Checking wasn’t about signing this and that. It was a lei greeting, a chilled, flower scented hand towel, and a cool, refreshing flavored ice tea while sitting in a comfortable chair. Our bags were delivered to our bungalow while we were given the info about meal times and amenities. The food was always a hit. Ono as we say back home. Broke da mout! I’m gonna miss it.
Erika and Vaite were working very hard, but they always had a big smile whenever they were with guests. They’d serve every course at every meal with a smile, even if they were just bringing coffee or tea. Walking back from an ocean swim, I’d pass the restaurant and hear “ia orana”. The gentleman keeping the grounds clean and tidy would also greet us without fail. Opoa Beach will make you feel so welcome and relaxed. You won’t want to leave. We will return. Hopefully, sometime soon."
"This is an absolute haven of tranquility and you don’t expect a lodge like that while driving down the East coast of Raiatea. The garden is stunning and you can read about all the plants. By the small beach is a lily pond and the hillside is a jungle of the most amazing vegetation. I was greeted very warmly and shown around, there is a beautiful communal area with a kitchen that is fully stocked and then you have little spaces in and outside of the fridge for the things you buy for yourself. There are no meals offered, you have to prepare them yourself. "
