A beautiful and well appointed small resort with everything you could want in a get away with gorgeous surroundings, excellent service, and super friendly staff attending to your every need or want. Arriving from the airport you are whisked across the lagoon by boat while being welcomed with flowers, song and ukelele by Raipuni Hiriga and his nephew that immediately opens your heart to upcoming experience. Raipuni, it seems to me, is the kind face and heart of the resort, always making sure you are well attended to, have everything you want, and giving you the low down on the resort, the island, and the people with wonderful stories and translations. He is an angel. We were blown away with how friendly everyone was. And even tho we did not speak Tahitian or French, their really wasn't any language barrier. As a vegetarian and non fish eater, the chef was not only accommodating but impressed me every night with a different specially made dish, on the fly, that was beautifully and tastefully presented, as was the rest of the world class menu by an amazing chef. The chef's wife was the pastry chef so the variety of homemade breads, croissants, and cakes every morning was astonishing, made fresh every day. We also connected with Olympia, who waited our table every afternoon and evening with her bubbly personality and open heart.... The experience of Swimming and snorkeling was as if you were in an aquarium with hundreds of so many varieties of fish close to shore and under the overwater bungalows. One of the best things about the experience was there were hardly any people there at all and it felt like we had our own private resort and staff who can't do enough for you!. We were looking for the kind of experience away from crowds, but never expected this. With all the You Tube travel videos that have drawn more people to great places, I'm afraid this won't last very long..... Upon leaving, another lei placed around your neck and farewell song by the staff before taking the boat back across the lagoon to the heart felt melodies of more beautiful vocals and ukelele playing by Raipuni and his nephew. We have never been treated so well and made such wonderful connections to place. We are so grateful to have had this beautiful opportuity!
