To'ahotu accommodation from AU$95

Overall a nice place to stay with a few caveats. Easy check-in with the keys on the counter and quick response by email. We stayed in Aura where two rooms have AC and one does not - was not a problem for our stay. The third room has a fan. The rooms have plenty of open shelf space for clothes.The deck overlooking the lagoon and private pool were favorites. There was a nice breeze during our stay. Bring bug spray though (as with most places on island). It would have been nice to have hand towels and wash clothes, not just bath and beach towels. Also, some hooks in the bedroom to hang up towels or clothes. The shower has body wash and shampoo; some shelves for personal washing supplies would be helpful. There was a lot of roof noise one particular night from what we think were birds collecting seeds from the tree overhead. Our neighbors didn't have the same foilage so this may be specific to our Villa. It bothered some of us more than others, so if you are a light sleeper, the islands of Tahiti in general can be noisy with dogs, roosters and other wildlife. The WiFi worked well but we had to request the password. This proved difficulty since we had spotty personal service. There were chocolates left for us at check-in which was a nice welcome. Thank you for sharing your Villa with us.

Anne was amazing, as was the whole staff. Location was AMAZING and perfect for exploring from a central location. Bungalow was perfect size - would highly recommend.

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.
