The bungalow was very nice. The grounds are very nice. A separate communal fully equipped kitchen and dining area but nothing provided. Lovely swimming pool. There is a fridge, but no tea making facilities in unit. The best pizza just down the road we have ever tasted. Pity we did not have more days. This is a great place to chill out and relax.

Private, beach front, simply amazing

Simply amazing, we had an Ocean View Bungalow for just the one night (if we had the time we would have loved to have stayed longer). Private beach, swimming pool, comfortable bed and so private, we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Highly recommend for couples or people like us who have spent weeks at sea and instead of staying overnight in Papeete on our Cruise Ship opted to rent a car and see the the real Tahiti. Loved it.

The grounds look amazing and well kept, but the rooms look nothing like the pictures. The sheets are piling and mismatched/thin, the ceiling has mold, the fans are broken. Staff not friendly. Best part: coconuts

I spent 8 nights at Punatea Village and I greatly enjoyed my stay. The owner was very kind and accommodating. He upgraded me to a bungalow for 6 of my 8 nights at no extra cost. The kitchen is very clean and comes with all the utensils you need for cooking. It has a communal refrigerator. The lounge eating area is covered. The grounds is well maintained , with numerous beautiful tropical plants and trees. There is a nice swimming area which is protected from the surf by a wall of boulders. There is a small, well-maintained swimming pool. The rooms are pleasant, without refrigerators, and with a well -maintained shared bathroom. The bungalows are very nice equipped with a refrigerator, ceiling fan, and a mosquito net, which you really don’t need. There are very few mosquitoes!

Hidden gem

Husband and wife couple chose this place because we were winging it without confirmed plans. Yikes. However this place was one of the only affordable places left and we booked it. We were so happy with the little resort. It's rustic, cozy, relaxed, Beach side, free onsite water toys like kayaks. A real easy experience. The host was super chill and helpful. Free communical kitchen for wine openers, morning coffee, appliances worked, decor was very local. If you like small hidden gems, this is it! We would certainly book it again.

The property is right on the beach, 100m away from a Magasin (dairy) and only 4km away from the small town of Taravao. Kitchen facilities and complimentary tea and coffee are great. Very clean and the fan in my room was great for keeping the temperature down. Hands down the best value for money on my ten day trip. Note:- The welcoming dog is a bit loud but he's on a chain and it is completely safe. He calms down after a few times walking past.

Punatea Village is nicely located at the ocean. Unfortunately the bungalows are very outdated and in need of repair. The bungalows only have a fridge but no kitchen. There is a communal kitchen which makes the whole place feel like a hostel. We were very unlucky with torrential rain for the full two days that we stayed here in late April 2019. The owner is very friendly and speaks a little English.

The property is remote which is nice if you like that kind of thing. Very pleasant stay and low key. It is a distance from the airport and not much to eat around. If staying longer, they have a nice kitchen to prepare meals, which I would have done if staying longer The property does show some wear and tear, but the overall atmosphere and experience were very enjoyable. You can't beat the location right on the shore with windows open to hear the surf.

Totally misleading

Booking was deceiving because it claimed "airport shuttle" and did not mention it wasn't free. Upon pickup I was shocked to discover "a surcharge" and they were so rude about it and would not negotiate splitting the HIDDEN fee. Since I had nowhere else to go, I bit my tongue and covered the charge but also reported it to my bank for a full refund. While the property IS beautiful and authentic Tahitian, and the room comfortable, it was SHABBY and the staff could not be more discourteous and the website also neglected to mention that the BATHROOM IS SHARED with everyone pretty much. Ugh.

Séjour sans problème

Une nuit sur place. Tout s'est très bien passé. Bungalow donnant sur la plage très agréable. Petit bémol sur la baie vitrée qui ne fermait pas pleinement, ce qui n'aurait pas été gênant s'il n'y avait pas eu beaucoup de vent cette nuit-là. La nuit a été fraîche et le drap du lit était un peu insuffisant. Le bungalow est propre, on voit que la.proximité de la mer abîmé un peu le mobilier et les murs. Pour la cuisine, un espace commun est disponible. Je trouve le tarif un peu cher pour la prestation. Mais j'avais un bungalow pour moi seule.
