The grounds and the pool and the dock and the hosts were very nice and accommodating

The rooms could use some updating and no air conditioning

We loved the overwater bungalow and the superb view from the balcony. The hosts met us at the Vaitape wharf and transferred us to the Lodge, explaining shopping hours and other details along the way. Breakfast on our first morning was basic, and we enjoyed using the pool. The hosts were also most helpful in arranging pre-booked tour pickups and a transfer to the Bora Bora Yacht Club restaurant. The transfer back to the wharf at the end of our stay was also handled in a timely and efficient manner.

We were quite disappointed with our bungalow's lack of maintenance and how tired the place looked. Half the light globes were missing or not working, the airconditioning unit seemed not to be connected, although the ceiling fan was quite adequate. Several of the cupboards were ill-fitting or missing hinges, the lighting in the bathroom was most inadequate and no basic toiletries were provided. The sliding door leading onto the balcony was very difficult to open and the bed, while large, was far harder than we are used to. Provision of a bar fridge however was appreciated. While the above comments may appear to be critical of the Lodge, we do realise that this standard of accommodation is not to be compared with that of a $3,000-4,000 per night resort.

Noise from the street, cockroaches in the kitchen, hotel felt abandoned / no other guests

pool and pool area. Haivei at reception was very helpful.

Not much for supplies in the kitchen.

The Pool.

It is not realistic to think that if there is a really nice and clean pool inside this lodge and you are also in Bora Bora, the "pearl of French Polynesia", the rest of the details don't matter! It matters a lot! It's amazing the response received from the administration of a lodge claiming to be "de luxe" regarding lack of banal hair shampoos in the bathroom: "Sir, we don't have shampoos because we're not a hotel, we're just a lodge!" [sic!] The placement of some objects was simply chaotic! In the bathroom, the towel racks were placed on the same wall as the shower, without being separated from it in any way. The light above the sink in the kitchen fell straight on the cupboard with dishes, being therefore unusable, instead if you weren't careful you risked hitting your head against the same monstrous cupboard! Finally, and this is important to say, Oa Oa Lodge does NOT have access to its own beach, it is located right next to a busy and polluted road, and the nearest restaurants are not very close. The best is Restaurant Saint James, but unfortunately, it is an expensive and exclusive dream. Bora Bora is a victim of its own bad advertising. Good thing I saw other places in Polynesia: wonderful and calm.

Because I was able to stay on the overwater bungalow, I appreciated the room view.

Access to food and activities is poor. The restaurant is closed, the breakfast seemed overpriced for what was available, it is a 15 minute walk to anywhere, which means the town. Reception closed at 5, so arranging a ride to dinner wasn’t possible unless you called yourself. Luckily the supermarket is well stocked- it is necessary to use the mini fridge and tea kettle to meals… plan to buy Nescafé, deli meats, water/beer and then go to town for baguettes. The AC didn’t work

No AC

This is a great little property located close to the boat terminal and town. I stayed on a garden bungalow and the room was really big and the bed was as well. (Comfy, too!) there was a stove and small refrigerator so I was able to buy things from the supermarket (about a 10 minute walk away) to save some money. There was a porch on the front of the bungalow , and my ladder into the water was about ten steps away. The snorkeling is superb- so many fish and rays! The place is not fancy, but it’s the perfect place to bas yourself to explore the island. The staff is top notch. I would definitely stay here again if back in Bora Bora.

There weren’t many places to hang wet bathing clothes- a retractable clothes line in the bathroom would be really handy. The floors were rather slippery when wet.

Perfect location. A friend and I had adjacent over water bungalows and we made good use of the balconies every evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Oa Oa Lodge. The staff and family were exceptionally friendly and helped us organize a day trip on the water. The Lodge is within easy walking distance of the main town where there are grocery stores, restaurants, car/moped rentals, shops, etc. We also enjoyed being able to jump into the sea every afternoon. Breakfast included a wonderful abundance of fresh fruit and breads. And I was shocked that we didn’t have any mosquitoes over the water so I was able to sleep with my door open to the sea every evening.

The property is a bit dated and I’m not sure when the fan in my OWB was last cleaned. There isn’t any air conditioning, but it wasn’t overly hot, especially at night.

The staff and the pool area are very nice. Bungalows are confortable and clean.

Amazing lady at the reception. Nice pool, nice hut. Transfers from the town included in the rate.

A bit squeezed place 1km north from Vaitape.

Great value for money

A bit old and dated but for the price ok

1. snorkelling in front 2. English spoken by friendly staff 3. close to groceries 4. pool 5. our own private deck

3000 xpf for 2 people for the continental breakfast, was too high. Include it and make breakfast more social.

spatious bungalows and a very friendly owner. beautiful pool and a pingpong tabel.

can be a bit noisy

Pool, garden, close to supermarket and airport ferry. Spacious bungalows with privacy and nice views.

Kitchen a bit basic, bar/restaurant under renovation, would be nice to have mosquito net in the room.

Beautiful views and the best concierge that we’ve experienced on the island!

very nice staff and very cheap accomodation for the average price of the island. the lodge was modest but Clean and with everything you need. Also, beautiful subset. good Deal!

the spot is in a point of the island where the sea is not so good, but with a short trip by car or bike you can have access to beautiful beaches!
