Make clear to guests that beach is not conducive to swimming due to very low depth and coral that scrapes the hands and feet when trying to swim. I was mislead and persevered until I realized that depth was not going to change.
Kathy was very communicative as was Stephanie! Easy access to nearby tours and local food options. The swimming pool was getting built (should be done now) as the old one was destroyed and it was a little busy. Breakfast was filling.
OMG from the moment we arrived at were in love. What a gorgeous spot and so peaceful. Stunning beach, sunset, clean tidy accomodation. Beautiful breakfast, across the road from a store. Behind security gates. Everything we could possibly want. Would have loved to stay longer.
We LOVED staying at this property. It was quiet, peaceful, BEAUTIFUL and all around wonderful. The breakfast was SO good and the people who worked there were so kind. We will 100% return to this property.
This property is a gem, it was a highlight of our vacation. Very clean, beautifully decorated, modern, elegant. Outside area is stunning, facing the beach. Offered free kayaks to use. Definitely will return.
We tried to cancel about two weeks prior to arrival when we realized that the flight would arrive to late to catch the ferry. I had originally searched for hotels near Papeete and somehow ended up on Moorea (a nearby island). So Moorea was our first stop on our cruise and we visited the property. None of the staff spoke English so they connected us to owners wife who indicated she would contact Hotels. She, did in order to deny the refund. So we hoped to spend at least one day on the island when we found out that you have to reserve a spot on the ferry weeks in advance. Basically we were out of luck. So regarding the property.....calling it rustic would would be too kind. The kitchen shared the dining area on the patio. The beach was about 15 meters. The beach furniture was falling apart. The dinnerware was an mismatched clutter washed in a sink that I couldn't get hot water out of. I will say the the the 3 meter above ground pool and the surrounding area was thoroughly cleaned while we were there. No restaurants within walking distance, but a reasonably stocked Stop and Rob across the highway. We spent 3-4 hours there and felt fortunate that we didn't have to spend 2 nights. Book with extreme caution.
this a nice hybrid of semi-private bungalows with enough privacy yet with some social interactions with the other guests at the common areas. The noise from the road is distracting but it is hard to find a beachfront property with road far away unless you are in hotel, ...
Very comfortable- much better than a hotel room. I enjoyed the outdoor covered deck, footsteps from the lagoon and kayaking. Breakfast was great. And the adorable geckos.
Immaculately maintained guest cottages and beach garden in a quiet gated setting. We enjoyed lounging and eating breakfast on our private deck with pretty ocean views.
This small resort is supurbly equipped for kayaking and snorkeling.
Unique and utterly serene, Fare Oaoa is the one lodging spot in the islands that I would return to. Our bungalow was 15 soft-sand footsteps from the beach. With a small pool, jacuzzi, kayaks, and inner tubes on offer, it was tempting to stay on property forever. Only gripes: annoying a/c system and birds who feasted messily on leftovers at night.
We had a great time here and wished we can stay longer. The bungalow is very well organized and well equipped with kitchen tools, dishes, glasses, and etc. There are kayaks for use for free. Life jackets and other safety gears are very clean and available in the bungalow or in the main property. The staff (Midi) is very kind and very helpful. We even bought a very big Tuna fish from her husband and Midi helped us prepare it. This is one of the best Tuna we ever had. The meat is not like Tuna we had in the Bay Area. We love everything here and highly recommend this place.
We had a wonderful stay here! The property is gorgeous and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. We loved how beautiful the space was and enjoyed having breakfast on the deck watching the ocean. The island is gorgeous and it's easy to drive around to everything you want to see, plus great tour options.
This placr was great!! Super private, quiet and fun! The property is very well maintained and cleaned. Amazing private beach to enjoy and see the sunset. I huge plus to have available kayaks to go see the dolphins in the early morning. I highly recommend! The host Katy is extremely nice and sweet and made our visit very special. She has great recommendations if you need suggestions for any activity you want to do.
