It was a great view of the ocean. Sounds of waves crashing against the rocky shore. Nicely kept grounds. Comfortable bed. Yes, it is showing some age, but I didn't mind after paying 1/3 of what other beach resorts were asking. Great for the price.

If you want or need "fancy", Punatea Village may dissappoint. But if you insist on charming, pleasant, beautiful, and inspiring, you'll love this place. It's a bit "out of the way", but then that's perhaps its best feature... except the staff. For example, the operating manager comes out early each morning to pick the perfect fruit (from many options) for the guest breakfasts. The setting is fantastic, the options for fun and adventure numerous, and since there are only ten guest rooms, you won't feel crowded. Experience the way Tahiti was when it earned its fabulous reputation: tranquil, relaxing, and endearing. That's why I won't visit the island without a stay at the Punatea Village.

The bungalow was very nice. The grounds are very nice. A separate communal fully equipped kitchen and dining area but nothing provided. Lovely swimming pool. There is a fridge, but no tea making facilities in unit. The best pizza just down the road we have ever tasted. Pity we did not have more days. This is a great place to chill out and relax.

Paradise! We stayed twice for 3 days each time (we rebooked after our first stay). We had an ocean view bungalow for each stay - we even had whale sightings on a couple of occasions!! The bungalow was perfectly rustic in tropical conditions - those expecting bug free, A/C perfectly clean rooms beware. The bungalow was very comfortable with a ceiling fan - that with the open door/windows with ocean breeze we slept well! Location is remote/residential so we felt safe. Bedding and bed was comfortable. Friendly dogs at the property but at night they and the neighbourhood dogs could start their barking concerts - but we found that everywhere in FP with so many dogs. But no roosters around crowing in AM at least! There was a small fridge in the bungalow, everything else kitchen related was in a communal kitchen. We made our coffee and cooked meals there (small place so we never had to wait). There was a nice stony beach in front we explored - water shoes would have been safer than our flip flops! There is a sheltered spot in front for swimming/snorkeling. It was small but there was some nice fish and some coral - even an octopus! Beautiful sunset and sunrise views!

LISEZ BIEN LE COMMENTAIRE ! (Urgent)

Chambre remplie de bête, poussière partout, matelas humide, la toile au dessus de vous ? Même pas nettoyé avec des toiles d’araignées et cela dans tous les logements. Dans le toit ? Il y a des troues. Les draps ? Remplis de crotte et d’animaux. Sous le lit ? La poussière et cela je penses depuis bien 3/4 ans minimum. Les fenêtres ? Elles se ferment pas. Le canapé ? Caché par un plaid pour éviter de montrer les taches et animaux. La salle de bain ? Remplie de fourmis et de mite, avec juste la vasque qui reste propre mais un robinet qui fonctionne 1 fois sur 10. Le jardin ? Il est pas vert comme mis sur les photos. La piscine ? On ne voit même pas le fond, il y a des feuilles partout des nôtres arriver. La cuisine ? La gaziniere qui fonctionne une fois sur 4 (quand elle veut apparement indiquer sur une feuille). Les couteaux ? Remplie de moisissures et choses que je ne peux identifié. Si je peux vous donnez un conseil c’est de ne pas y séjourné, vous pouvez trouver des logements bien mieux niveau qualité prix comme le vanira lodge de l’autre coter. Ou alors sur Tahiti vous pouvez trouver de bonne maison en hauteur comme « villa Ireina magnificent sea view ». Vous n’aurais pas meilleur pour une famille ! Bon courage à tous ! Le site ne veux pas mettre les photos que je souhaites vous montrez. Mais bon

Private, beach front, simply amazing

Simply amazing, we had an Ocean View Bungalow for just the one night (if we had the time we would have loved to have stayed longer). Private beach, swimming pool, comfortable bed and so private, we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Highly recommend for couples or people like us who have spent weeks at sea and instead of staying overnight in Papeete on our Cruise Ship opted to rent a car and see the the real Tahiti. Loved it.

Séjour sans problème

Une nuit sur place. Tout s'est très bien passé. Bungalow donnant sur la plage très agréable. Petit bémol sur la baie vitrée qui ne fermait pas pleinement, ce qui n'aurait pas été gênant s'il n'y avait pas eu beaucoup de vent cette nuit-là. La nuit a été fraîche et le drap du lit était un peu insuffisant. Le bungalow est propre, on voit que la.proximité de la mer abîmé un peu le mobilier et les murs. Pour la cuisine, un espace commun est disponible. Je trouve le tarif un peu cher pour la prestation. Mais j'avais un bungalow pour moi seule.

I spent 8 nights at Punatea Village and I greatly enjoyed my stay. The owner was very kind and accommodating. He upgraded me to a bungalow for 6 of my 8 nights at no extra cost. The kitchen is very clean and comes with all the utensils you need for cooking. It has a communal refrigerator. The lounge eating area is covered. The grounds is well maintained , with numerous beautiful tropical plants and trees. There is a nice swimming area which is protected from the surf by a wall of boulders. There is a small, well-maintained swimming pool. The rooms are pleasant, without refrigerators, and with a well -maintained shared bathroom. The bungalows are very nice equipped with a refrigerator, ceiling fan, and a mosquito net, which you really don’t need. There are very few mosquitoes!

Hidden gem

Husband and wife couple chose this place because we were winging it without confirmed plans. Yikes. However this place was one of the only affordable places left and we booked it. We were so happy with the little resort. It's rustic, cozy, relaxed, Beach side, free onsite water toys like kayaks. A real easy experience. The host was super chill and helpful. Free communical kitchen for wine openers, morning coffee, appliances worked, decor was very local. If you like small hidden gems, this is it! We would certainly book it again.

The property is right on the beach, 100m away from a Magasin (dairy) and only 4km away from the small town of Taravao. Kitchen facilities and complimentary tea and coffee are great. Very clean and the fan in my room was great for keeping the temperature down. Hands down the best value for money on my ten day trip. Note:- The welcoming dog is a bit loud but he's on a chain and it is completely safe. He calms down after a few times walking past.

Punatea Village is nicely located at the ocean. Unfortunately the bungalows are very outdated and in need of repair. The bungalows only have a fridge but no kitchen. There is a communal kitchen which makes the whole place feel like a hostel. We were very unlucky with torrential rain for the full two days that we stayed here in late April 2019. The owner is very friendly and speaks a little English.

The property is remote which is nice if you like that kind of thing. Very pleasant stay and low key. It is a distance from the airport and not much to eat around. If staying longer, they have a nice kitchen to prepare meals, which I would have done if staying longer The property does show some wear and tear, but the overall atmosphere and experience were very enjoyable. You can't beat the location right on the shore with windows open to hear the surf.
