This place has some positive reviews, which tricked me into booking it for my two night stay. The photos do not reflect the reality, there is basically no view, unless you go upstairs to their neglected terrace, it is located right of the road, property needs basic updates, at least change the toilet seat, and bathroom accessories, everything is in beat up shape, pillow case had stains, air conditioning is in one room only, worn out furniture from 70’s, dirt, cobweb, ants everywhere. Stay away please.

Nous avons passé un excellentissime séjour chez Alain et Vaite Alain est une personne adorable, généreuse et qui se soucie du confort de ses clients. Toujours disponible et à notre écoute Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison et avions tout le confort nécessaire Mention spéciale à la chambre vue sur mer Si vous désirez prendre le petit déjeuner, il faudra prévoir un supplément car hôtel.com ne le précise pas malgré qu'Alain ait fait le nécessaire Les petits déjeuners sont très bons et variés Une belle maison que nous vous recommandons

Séjour immersif au coeur de Bora Bora

Ce séjour au Bora Vaite Lodge a été la parfaite occasion de découvrir Bora Bora sous un autre oeil, en choisissant un hébergement plus immersif au coeur de l'ile. Niveau confort, rien à redire : 5 étoiles bien méritées. Les chambres sont très propres et bien entretenues, idem pour la salle de bain. Le vaste espace commun dispose d'une cuisine et d'un grand frigo, de tables et canapés, sans en oublier la grande terrasse qui donne sur le lagon. On ne manque pas de place ! L'occasion également de faire de belles rencontres. Vaite est d'une gentillesse rarissime, et d'une disponibilité qu'il serait indécent de ne pas mentionner. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ses conseils, les moments de partage et le temps passé en sa compagnie. Ses petits déjeuners valent également le détour ! Comme pratiquement tout à Bora, le transport est très onéreux (taxi ou location de voiture). Un service de transfert est assuré ici pour 1000 CPF (env 8 €), ce qui est de loin l'option la plus cheap et avantageuse qui nous a permis de faire le tour de l'ile à plusieurs reprises et découvrir les nombreux highlights. Enfin, il vous sera plus difficile de trouver plus abordable et compétitif pour un séjour de 4 nuits sur l'ile, la qualité au rendez-vous. Merci encore à Vaite pour ce séjour que l'on oubliera pas de sitôt !

Owners very helpful and available to transport. They speak mostly French but we could communicate our needs in English. They had all ammenities we needed. 5 min walk to the bay where we snorkled with Manta Rays. We hiked from the property to the top of Papoti mt. with a spectacular view. Small patisserie in walking distance.l It's North East on the main island and away from South tourist areas so count on 2000-3500xpf for cab or rides each way for shopping, restaurants and the more crowded beaches. Some traffic and dog noise at night with windows open, but AC is available for a fee. We had a great stay for a good price.
