We had a wonderful stay at Niu Beach, service was excellent from the moment we arrived. The beach bungalow was modern and new with plenty of facilities including a small kitchen, where we managed to cook breakfast and lunch. The beach and coral are excellent with a few steps from the bungalow patio straight into the sea. We had a great week from storms to sunshine but throughout our wonderful stay in Moorea we would definitely return to Niu Beach. Thanks so much to all the staff.

The whole resort is like living in a postcard. It's just so beautiful and the staff were all super friendly and happy especially at the beach bar and around the beach, always passing small bites of food to try and iced water to keep you hydrated. Our only negatives were one night there were a few small flying bugs enter our OWB from seemingly nowhere. But that was gone the next day so the cleaners must have noticed. Also it seemed to take forever to get served at main meal times (except at beach...

AMAZING STAY!!!!
We stayed in a horizon view over water bungalow and everything about it was superb. The bed was so comfortable, a pillow menu if you're into that.
The staff are friendly and helpful (apart from one concierge who never had a name badge on but she always seemed like she couldn't be bothered)
The location is perfect, you face east so watch the sun rise. Then across the road to the main hotel entrance there is a public beach facing west so people gather for sunset.

This might be the best hotel in French Polynesia. It’s stunning. A beautiful location, far from the crowds and a really exceptional hotel after the recent refurb. The room was immaculate, the pool is beautiful and relaxing and there is plenty to do and explore. The food was very good and the service impeccable. Nothing too much trouble. I would recommend this to anyone as the definition of 5*. we stayed in a few places across the islands and this was the standout highlight.

My girlfriend and I had a beach bungalow. It was quite large had a bathroom double bedroom and a sizeable kitchen dinner sitting room. There were two beds in the sitting room we swopped one for a bench as we wanted to sit in comfort we covered it in pillows. We cooked our own food to save money for our trip as we enjoy whale snorkelling diving walking ect. The surrounding back drop is so beautiful . Volcanic mountains covered in lush rainforest . At the front a calm lagoon protected by a reef....

An amazing location and honeymoon destination! The staff are always willing to help, be it to organise activities, advise on dinner plans or simply to arrange a lift to and from your villa in a golf cart!
The breakfast buffet is extensive and the private ocean view villa we had was very spacious...not as much of a wow factor as the overwater bungalows but bigger (and cheaper!)
Don't think you could get a better service at any of the other resorts in Bora Bora.
Only downside is that...

Fantastic choice for those looking for great value accommodation. Good location, close to town and near Bora Bora yacht club. Lovely pool. Access to trek to WW2 canons from property. Very clean room with fridge and coffee and tea provided. Breakfast available on request by the pool. Definitely highly recommend.

Most staff v nice. Some seemed to be very reserved which didn’t always come over as friendly. BUT would definitely recommend. Yes it’s expensive but not silly money. We were pleasantly surprised at cost of food and drinks.
Lovely quiet and relaxing. Overwater bungalows a must. We had a few showers but they passed in a matter of minutes

This is an absolute haven of tranquility and you don’t expect a lodge like that while driving down the East coast of Raiatea. The garden is stunning and you can read about all the plants. By the small beach is a lily pond and the hillside is a jungle of the most amazing vegetation. I was greeted very warmly and shown around, there is a beautiful communal area with a kitchen that is fully stocked and then you have little spaces in and outside of the fridge for the things you buy for yourself....

There is nothing I did not like about this resort. It sits in the perfect location, minutes away from the airport, with a smooth sail across the ocean. I loved that the beach is private, so no bother from anyone selling products. I met a lot of friendly hotel staff who went above and beyond, Heikalani being one if them. I absolutely loved my villa. I thought it was going to be bigger but still perfect and with a pool, great touch! Mauruuru Le Bora Bora!

Hotel/Resort stunning. Room was amazing especially view and layout/facilities. Buggy service to/from room was slow. Food prices expensive but in line with expectations. Drink prices (esp. cocktails) however were absurdly expensive especially as hotel staff did not understand wine (red wine chilled ! and often oxidised) and non fresh cocktail ingredients - no fresh orange juice in entire resort. Check out was poorly managed and hotel struggled to cope with the fact we arrived from another...

We really enjoyed our stay here, very convenient as it's close to the airport! The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful! Even sorted us a transfer to the ferry terminal. Couldn't recommend more!
