    No wifi except at pool and restaurant. The fridge was nice to have but is too small for much use. Extra fans are needed since there's no AC on the water front Bungalow.

    The staff especially Tom at the desk were awesome. The ocean front Bungalow has incredible views

    ...there is nothing to dislike about this place

    Where to start? The view from the lodge, stunning location, staff, the fishes swimming around your cabin. The recently opened gecko restaurant. The sunsets (did I mention the staff?)

    The bungalow is in need of repairs and updates. The lodge is close to the main road so it is loud at night. Beds are hard.

    Host picks you up directly from the ferry dock. The pool was nice and the view from the pool was nice.

    Palm branch on walkway not trimmed was hitting me. Sleepwalkers could fall in lagoon by pool because not lit well if at all .

    Very Polynesian on the lagoon. You can see fish dinner restaurant is great. Duck dinner was great! Good chef. A little dated but loved it. Heavy sliding room doors . Fans but no air conditioning. Nice hot showers

    The noise is pretty noticeable in the rooms so if you are a light sleeper it might bother you. Also the bed is hard, but I didn't mind that much. The facilities are a little run down and could use some maintenance like the decking. For the price we paid it was worth it in Bora Bora. The restaurant was just opened when we were there and very nice but kind of expensive when compared to the accommodations. Just to note, pool is salt water. We had a guest i had to get out of the pool, a crab. I found that funny.

    The location to town was close so walking to stores or food trucks was easy. We had the overwater room which was awesome to just sit out over the water with the breeze. Not a lot to see in water as it gets deep fast bit still pretty cool. You could snorkel.right there too and see some things but had to stay close, again gets deep fast so can't see. The hosts were very cool, down to earth, and accommodating.

    The facilities are run down. The pool ladder came unattached from the deck when I was exiting. The lawn chairs beside our bungalow were broken.

    Loved the over water bungalow and on site restaurant that is opened in the evenings.

    Great place to stay on a budget!

    We booked two bungalows. The one with the kitchen was fine but the kitchen was lacking in basic utensils. We had to buy a few utensils in order to cook every night. The beds are a little on the hard side, but the pillows are the best we had during our monthlong trip.

    The owners and staff at Oa Oa Lodge are friendly and helpful. We spoke with the cleaning ladies every morning. One taught me a little Tahitian every day. The best part of the property is the location. We had an overwater bungalow, and I spent a lot of time perched on the balcony just taking in the view. Every day I also spotted plenty of wildlife from the balcony. I saw turtles, sharks, rays, and a variety of fish. The last day we were there, a mother whale and her calf swam by. If you are on a budget, there are two large supermarkets within walking distance. We visited them daily for lunch and dinner.

    The lodge is on a very busy road, there is traffic all night, very noisy.

    Manager (forgot her name) was super helpful. We had a tour booked and were going to meet the tour at the ferry landing. She called them and asked them to meet us at the lodge, very convenient!

    We enjoyed our stay in the Oa Oa Lodge overwater bungalow
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Bungalow
    • Stayed 5 nights

    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.

    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.
