Frommer's Review

Speedboats shuttle 23 times a day from the Vaitape small boat harbor to this posh resort on the northern end of Motu Toopua, a hilly island facing the rounded peak of Mount Pahia (not Mount Otemanu's tombstone). The main building, under three interlocking thatch roofs, holds a reception area, a bar, and a gourmet restaurant. To the rear, an expansive stone deck surrounds one of French Polynesia's largest swimming pools, where you'll find another bar and daytime restaurant. Long piers with hand-carved railings lead to the 44 overwater bungalows, while the rest of the units sit ashore in tropical gardens. One is a two-bedroom villa well suited to well-heeled families. Three of the beachside bungalows -- one of which has a Jacuzzi tub -- interconnect to form suites. The units are so close together that, unless you run your air-conditioner, you can overhear your neighbor's favorite TV show (not to mention certain amorous activities). For the most part, the accommodations -- while all luxurious -- do not live up to the resort's exceptional amenities. The unusual spa here has treatment rooms high up in a banyan tree. Note: This resort quotes rates in euros, not CFP.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; large outdoor pool; 2 tennis courts; health club; spa; watersports equipment/rentals; game room; concierge; activities desk; limited room service; laundry service
