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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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!

The island is very beautiful, the Fijian people who look after your every need are amazing , helpful and friendly. The rooms were spotless the food and service was excellent. Everything was perfect made special by the wonderful staff it was like being part of a large happy family.

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....

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...

I should make it clear that this review reflects what we were looking for (chilled out relaxation, away from the rest of the world, good food, snorkelling with no crowds) and as such this place ticked all the boxes. If you are looking for a place with TVs in the rooms, fast wifi for your (ever present) Ipad, night life and super shopping then this place simply isn't for you.
