Oa Oa Lodge

5 minutes' drive from the ferry terminal. Chalet was spacious with a decking outside. Kitchen minimalistic. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pool was very nice and you can literally snorkel from the decking. Free piclup and drop off at Vaitape ferry terminal

The location, pool, restaurant are all amazing! The rooms were probably once the quintessential Polynesian experience. With a little LTC they could be amazing again. But had everything you would want except AC if you desire that. The hotel seems like it’s straight out of a 60s James Bond movie and is beautiful overall. The service and attitudes of employees is lacking at the hotel. However the restaurant and I believe owner of the hotel was at the restaurant and Lisa is amazing as was our server! Overall our best meal in FP including moorea and the st Regis! I can’t wait to come back!

Was very surprised by this place, basic but very clean and spacious. The rooms are slightly dated and a little tired. We were collected from the dock and taken to Oa Oa Centre and walked through to our lodge. The swimming pool and surrounding area was quiet and quite often we were the only ones using it. Great views from the pool too. Our lodge was at the back of the complex near the road which could be noisy from traffic and dogs. The staff on site were very pleasant and always said hello with a smile. The restaurant only opens in the evening and the rooms had limited cooking facilities so we ventured out. Lots of food trucks which were very clean. Highly recommend Chez Pam for pizza which is out of the complex turn left and walk for five minutes.

Lovely little place with a perfect infinity pool overlooking the lagoon. The bungalows are spacious if a little dated (not really much use for cooking with just two electric rings in the kitchenette) but are perfectly comfortable with, in our room, a large King Bed and outdoor covered seating/table area. There is a ladder down to the lagoon which in January was even warmer than the mainly freshwater pool. WiFi limited to the pool area where there is plenty of seating, tables and beach chairs. We didn’t use the on-site restaurant: two minutes walk up the road away from town was a lovely immaculately clean pizzeria van with good prices and decent toppings (closed Tuesday). In the direction of the town there are two supermarkets within fifteen mins walk and a number of restaurants and burger vans. It was hard to work out which were open when!

I stayed at Oa Oa Lodge in beautiful Bora Bora in October. They pick you up from the marina after the air Tahiti water shuttle drops you off. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for providing a bungalow option for all budgets. The room was large with cool tile floors, water closet, bathroom with separate tub and shower. There was a small beach area adjacent to the bungalow with palm trees to sit under. It was about a 10-15 minute walk to town for groceries, light shopping, and dining. The St. James and it’s patisserie we’re a 5 minute walk from the hotel. You could even hear the fish jump at night before bed. I enjoyed a dessert on my balcony staring out at the stars. Each morning I woke up to beautiful turquoise waters without leaving my bed. The fish could be seen easily since the water was clear near the base of the bungalow. There was a ladder to go swimming and two loungers to dry off on between my bungalow and the next one. The tours either picked up at the hotel dock or near the dive shop entrance which was very convenient.Thank you Tom for the hospitality. I had a wonderful stay at the property.

Good snorkelling in front of Oa Oa; in an hour we saw a turtle, 4 stingray and manta. We prepared most of our own meals. Here are some grocery prices in xpf: lettuce 405, Brie cheese 573, cucumber 207, 2 steak 1100, butter 153, mayonnaise 255, ham 520. We brought a small plastic bowl and a thin plastic cutting surface.
