“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....

“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.”

“Petit havre de paix dans un écran tropical. Arnaud et son équipe au top!”

“The rooms are located on the inland side of the road, while the reception and amenities are by the sea. I loved the room decorations and design with a 70s style. The bed is comfortable, and there is a daybed as well. The surrounding grounds are lush and beautiful. The hotel has great bikes for rent. If you walk or bike north of the hotel, you can reach abandoned luxury hotels and enjoy views over the mountain. At a shorter distance to the south, you’ll reach some restaurants, grocery shops, and...

“Amazing sunsets every day at their own “dock”. Breakfast was personal and rich. Possibility to rent car AT the hotel for one day, even thought there is not much to see in Raiatea to be honest. NO BEACHES on the island. No joke. Take the Taha island tour if you can. Room was a bit outdated. Our shower made the whole bathroom floor wet (no drapes). Personnel was very friendly and helpful. One incident. We found a semi-dead cockroach laying on our floor once checked in. Probably dosed off...

“It is a fantastic place, we had an overwater bungalow with pool and it was amazing. The only thing we didnt like that there was no small dishes to eat during lunch such like an omelette and the cost for a lunch was to expensive. They should have different price levels during the day. We ate at the fine dining and it was marvellous.”

“The pictures look much better than the reality. The hotel is old and worn out. The service was the most disappointing thing though. I understand the worn out furnitures etc due to the climate and general state of hotels in the area. But the service was poor. Would barely help with restaurant reservations - and when going down to reception to get help, the man working got annoyed I came down for help. He even told me to talk to the restaurant myself and handed me the phone from reception....

“This was our first time to Bora Bora and the staff and property management were absolutely incredible! Love this place and what a great value!”
