    Our stay at Vai iti Lodge was excellent couldn’t have asked for more. The bungalows are tucked away in a superb jungle type scenery and you arrive at a large property where you have plenty of intimacy. And it’s beautiful. With a pool and stunning views of the ocean. It helped that we were alone for the first days. Cedric and Laina were very gracious hosts , kind and super helpful with everything we needed. The place was clean and quiet and beautifully decorated. It seemed like heaven to us. Nice breakfast, pain au chocolat and croissants and fruit juice and fresh fruits every day. Private parking. We had no trouble getting there with a suzuki swift so no need for off road car but you do need a car to get there. Lots of things to do and see around as well. We were so happy there that we spent one day just hanging around on the property enjoying life.

    Few ditches on the road to access the property created by weather conditions (heavy rain)

    Owner is extremely welcoming. The "Faré" was really clean and well organized. Every utilities at hand. Nice property and environment.

    As they are off the grid, it’s understandable that there is no air conditioning, however took us a few days to figure out how to keep the room cool without being eaten by bugs (1 fan on, windows open with shear curtain closed, sliding doors closed). I wish this info has been told to us or written in the room.

    The rooms are lovely and quaint. The surrounding grounds are truly like paradise. The owners are friendly and approachable. Nothing compares to eating fresh fruit straight off the tree in such an idyllic location.

    The owners are very friendly and helpful! For the breakfast we were asked about our preferences and with lots of love the breakfast was served in the garden. The property have a pool with a stunning view of tahiti Nui and the ocean. You have to experience it on our own when you are here!!! It’s the perfect place! So in love with this location!

    Very difficult to find, particularly when dark. Google-map is misleading, need to ask additional directions, be ready for 1 km challenging dirt road

    Spacious bangalo with everything you'd need, fresh fruit, baguette and croissants. For non-french speaking customers might be difficult, but with good will manageable

    Keep your eyes peeled for the sign and turn and off from the main road, only a couple of kms from the start of the Tahiti Nui ring road…we thought it would be further.

    Lovely location with distant views of the rugged coast. Peaceful rural, elevated location surrounded by fruit trees. Great swimming pool and cabana, breakfast every day was fresh fruit, juice, baguette and croissants. Modern, clean and well stocked free standing cottage. Hosts Cedric and Laina were fabulous. Highly recommended.

    We loved it all. There is nothing to complain about. If anyone wants to complain they are the problem not Vai Iti! Seriously the whole experience is perfect

    Vai Iti is a pearl of Tahiti-Iti. The fare are so comfortable and relaxing with everything we needed for our stay. Our hosts Cedric and Laini go beyond usual expectations and make sure every day in paradise is memorable. It is a joy to stay at their amazing place. Breakfast is yummy. Everything is perfect.

    An OK venue for further exploring the main island

    No mosquito net on the windows, no aircon (only one during our Tahiti trip). The mosquito net over the bed had a huge hole on it. I have pollen and dust allergy, and one has been triggered on this venue (mattress??? flowers???), so I had to take medication - this was not an issue in any other venues. The breakfast was very basic and not that fresh (baguette without any sides for it, older bananas and piece of mango). We wanted to see the Teahuppo wave (we did not manage though) and our host did not have any suggestions for that. The property has some good foundations, bit more care would be needed only to make it even better.

    Awesome view to the ocean, spacious garden, good availability in spite of the dirt road leading to the facility. Flexible and responsive host. Spacious room. Fair pricing. Nice pool, well kept garden.
