The people who own and run the Lodge and their staff are gracious, accomodating and fun. The setting, from the beach to the trees and flowers, is lovely. Want to go back!

This is a very quite part of the island. My villa had a spectacular view. The best part was sitting on the deck in the morning and looking at the view

The place has been set up very beautifully, many details considered. The hosts were friends;y and helpful. The breakfast was fantastique. Best so far in our trip. We would happily come back. Note it is isolated, which is part of the charm. Do rent a car in advance. Can do the whole island. Very close to the sacred Marae.

Never again
I would like to start with something positive: the owner is nice, but it is hard to communicate in English, they have kayaks that you can use. Unfortunately, this is by far our worst experience of a stay in a “hotel”. The lodge we stayed at was the most expensive and “luxurious”. It was rather dirty when we arrived and it is in a forest meaning a lot of bugs, spiders and crabs in your apartment.... when coming at night you will feel like in a horror movie - this is more like camping experience in super deep woods with a serious attract of crabs. You won’t find anything romentic about this place more like we seriously paid to be here? It is also located really far from “civilization”. I would suggest staying closer to the city center. My advice to the owner make it really clean and offer daily fresh towels, pick up garbage (none of this was done while we stayed there) ... I forgot to add internet is in so called common area - so you have to walk around 10 min. Down a hill to connect with the outside world and it is really poor connection - you won’t be able to achieve a lot... Their pillows were old and super uncomfortable ... We stayed there 4 nights and were counting hours to leave, what a sad experience of French Polynesia for us.

Hello, A horror movie you said, I agree with you! This is what we discovered after your departure: never seen! We changed your bath towels to your request, we threw them in the trash, impossible to clean them; dishes not made, greasy, dirty, etc. I speak enough English, I spend beautiful evenings with Anglophones where we laugh constantly. I also have the best WiFi on the island. You rented a bungalow in the mountains with a green roof, far away from civilization as you write it. Stay in your concrete and no more, you have nothing to do at home, watch the reports on TV to avoid the scent of flowers and mosquito bites. We live real life, keep your life sanitized, guinted and virtual or else give you the means to rent palaces. I will not answer any other comments from you. I had to report your behavior totally inappropriate to Expedia but fortunately you are only small people who believe themselves superior to everyone, a case of extremely rare species/ A service anyway I beg you, tell well all your friends to never come to us if they like horror movies of course! Never hear about you again! Bye

The Hotel is nice, secluded, and peaceful. The property is very well maintained. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Cyrille and Louise are the best hosts you can have. We were able to get a car rental through them and their breakfast was excellent. I wish we could have stayed there longer to really enjoy the property. Hopefully one day we can come back. MARURU.

Hidden gem
This is the sort of hidden gem you dream of discovering when you travel. I booked the Oviri Lodge because it was the most reasonable choice close to the Taputapuatae cultural site. As soon as we drove down the driveway to the cluster of charming bungalos at the edge of a crystal clear lagoon, I knew we were in for a treat. The suite was huge, the view sublime, and Lousie and Cyrille gracious and helpful. There were fresh flowers everywhere, and the breakfast spread was AMAZING - every tropical fruit you can imagine, many types of fresh pastry, hot good coffee, their homemade jams. Plus Lousie helped us meet a local guide to the sacred Taputapuatae site we would never have found on our own. Having lived and worked in Polynesia for a decade, and visited most of the major sites, this was the best hotel experience I've had.

Petit coin de nature.
Le lodge est une petite maison en bois avec terrasse. Belle expérience au cœur de la nature. Bonne literie, moustiquaire, coin cuisine. Cyril et Louise vous accueillent avec gentillesse et donnent de bons conseils. Un cadre luxuriant et reposant. Une petite plage juste à côté. Attention, il faut prévoir une voiture sur Raiatea.
