    . Close to Fish and Blue Property was clean Had a pool

    We arrived to learn the property owner who lives on site doesn’t speak English, although was advertised. But the most frustrating aspect was before we arrived at the bungalow, we stopped at the grocery store and picked up lunch, drinks and snacks. As we arrived and started unpacking our car, the owner noticed the food and told us that no food or drink can be consumed on the property. We needed to leave it in the car or takeaway. We were shocked! Not even salad stuff and cheese and crackers, and juice for morning. We quickly learned because they offer food and want you to buy from them or leave the property. Definitely never disclosed no food, and we had to leave immediately with food to go sit on the side of the road and eat ham and cheese sandwiches. Ridiculous, the AC is also on a timer and after so long it shuts off and you can’t turn it on. This was very frustrating after being gone all day to come back and relax and by bed time, wake up sweating and uncomfortable. For the price we paid I expected more!! You are literally in the backyard of people’s homes with a gate separating you. Very odd. Make sure to go to Fish and Blue. Great service and food

    That's right, we don't speak English, German or Chinese and it's announced, reread the description on Booking, languages spoken: French, Spanish. That's right, on your arrival, we informed you that there was no kitchen, we immediately offered you a very close pension that has a kitchen for its guests. For various reasons, including hygiene, we do not accept food from outside. This did not prevent us from having lunch inside the bungalow. That's right, we offer breakfasts, snacks and dinners. It's our job!! But we also offer a list of restaurants, snacks and caravans, for which we can reserve a table for you, if you wish. And all this in order to avoid washing the salad and dishes in the sink! This is wrong for drinks, since we even provided you with ice cubes and bottle openers. Wrong for air conditioning, there is no timer, but safety. It cuts off when you use the air conditioning, with the windows open. Wrong, you are not in the garden "of the people's houses", but in a pension where you share the garden and the pool with the other guests. Intimate pension with only 4 bungalows. I hope your trip to Polynesia has satisfied you despite everything.

    The relatively new bungalow was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The large outside deck was a bonus. There were only four bungalows, which made it a small charming environment. The hostess Hilga was very friendly and ccommodating, and she made good suggestions on activities and restaurants. We ate two breakfasts while there on a 5-night stay in early October 2023. The bread, pastries, jams, fruit salad, tea and hot chocolate were delicious. Hilga gave us a special egg dish for one of the breakfasts.

    The barking dogs and noisy roosters woke us up early, but we are light sleepers and don't get up earlly like most people. Otherwise a very peaceful property.

    Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay, you had a pleasant stay and this is the most important. Sorry for roosters and dogs, but its true that they are early morning. Difficult to sleep late in the morning in countries that live to the rhythm of the sun. Looking forward to seeing you again on our beautiful island.

    Wow! Hilda and her husband are so kind and welcoming, and they make you feel like home. Right away we were asked what activities we had in mind and even though we hadn't made any reservations and everything was last minute Hilda managed to sort everything for us without worries! The location is brand new and super beautiful, the beds are comfy, the shower is amazing 😍 the large porch with table and very comfortable chairs is an ideal place to have one of the breakfasts or dinners they offer (we had dinner and it was so tasty!). The pool is new and the perfect temp, and there are nice lounge/sun chairs provided. Everything is very well taken care of and the property is right underneath a mountain....stunning views! The bungalow is also conveniently located 800m from the beach and they provide bikes for free which is perfect. Such a nice couple,and such a memorable stay. Accomadating and welcoming in every way, would definitely stay again!

    Thank you very much for this comment that goes straight to our hearts. We are very happy that you enjoyed your honeymoon stay. We wish you a lot of happiness. Looking forward to seeing you again. Hilda and Olivier

    An absolutely lovely place - peaceful and tranquil that’s for sure! Beautifully appointed bungalows - beds were super comfortable and everything was well appointed and very clean. The pool area was a welcome bonus.

    Lack of signage - while there is a sign on the main road, it would have been super helpful to have additional signage off the side street as property is somewhat hidden amongst other properties which are all gated.

    Property response:

    Thank you for your comment, we are happy that your stay went well. The traffic sign is in place, we were a little late for the opening. Sorry for this little problem. Hilda & Olivier

    The bungalows are brand new, very tasteful and comfortable. The staff and owners were very welcoming and helpful. They made reservations for us and helped getting phone numbers and information about tours. We enjoyed the pool and using the bikes.
