Vaira'o Hotels

"Clean bungalow, many surfaces of the room had Tiari flowers on them. Room smelled like a dream. Mosquito net had some holes would be my only complaint. Room and grounds were as pictured and staff was friendly."

"The home was clean and comfortable in an amazing setting. We enjoyed the beach and walking out into the lagoon using the house supplied reef shoes. My husband and friend enjoyed the kayak, as well. Our host was very responsive and helpful. "

"Very nice welcoming host, located at a very nice, quiet bay area."

"Beautiful Tahitian home, right on the beach! Small pool included. Loved the Tahitian furniture and doors!! We were only able to stay one night, but it would have been so great to stay longer - since its a 2-bedroom, it would make a really nice 4-5 day stay for 2 couples. Wish we could have stayed longer!"

"The young family are excellent hosts. It was a real surprise The father is a real chef from France and the Tahitian mom has trained in hotel and speaks excellent English. They live on a small farm where they grow everything they cook. They make their own soap. The little cabin you stay in has everything you might need. Very congenial people. Every meal was an experience. I would go back in a heartbeat. Very clean and has a lovely pool "

"This is a magical place. If you choose to come here, do so with an artistic attitude towards live and your visit and you will be handsomely rewarded."

"The facilities themselves were nice, the place is cute, and it was clean. It was well equipped with cooking items. However, there was not adequate access to the beach. There was a huge metal gate with a padlock that was randomly closed at various times which made it so that we had no way to get to the beach. I messaged the contact person multiple times and they just kept telling me to look into the book and that the instructions were there. There was nothing that talked about a huge metal gate with a lock. Once I left, I continued to email them, and they just simply said that the gate is new, and that the lock doesn't work, and I should've reached through and undone it. However, this information was not provided while I was there, so there were multiple days that we could not get down to the beach, which was a huge drag. A huge reason that I booked this place was because of the location and easy beach access."

"Sweet couple run this place. They were so kind and helpful. Took me to the store twice!!! Brought chocolate croissants on my 1st morning The cabin was clean and a basic kitchen and dining table so meals could be prepared. The snorkeling right off the shore and out to the orange bout to the east was amazing. I loved just hanging out and reading and sunning in the garden but I do recommend having a car. I never saw a mosquito or had any bug problems outside or in the cabin Very clean and well kept"

"Almost everything on the Tama homestay site was false.Airport pickup I was charged 5000xpf it was advertised as 3000xpf No continental breakfast & no soap in bathroom to wash your hands.When I enquired about it I was offered to leave & a refund, I reply with small refund for continental breakfast daily? Host said that he’d have his mother/ housekeeper buy the items she returns with very basic things bread, margarine, jam, coffee, tea, powdered milk sachets & soap. Not continental breakfast ingredients exactly.Oven wasn’t working, email host takes a day to reply, power is switched off because no one uses it, it’s to hot to use an oven & oven makes noises. He sends me picture instructions to switch oven back on. When I use the oven there was no problem & no noises. B. S.I stayed in Tama which has keys to lock the door as does the bathroom you use to & it’s situated across the hall, well unfortunately I locked the keys in bathroom & no one was about, (young couple staying same time as I was out) I was panicking, rang host told him, puts me onto his wife, she was laughing, I didn’t find it funny & told her I can’t believe your laughing & she went psycho screaming down the phone at me. I had a look on YouTube & fortunately was able to find a helpful video & able to open the door & get the keysWifi doesn’t work in room Tama.My medication I had to keep in fridge was tampered with.Couple staying didn’t clean up kitchen after themselves, dirty, causing ants everywhere."
