The property is very beautiful and well kept. Staff is kind and welcoming. The lagoon around the island is magnificent. The bungalows are tastefully decorated and they feel very secluded and private.

Overpriced and have to pay extra for transfers and food and was still hungry. Small portions for over $90 AUD a meal. Nothing much to do there and internet is really poor in the rooms as it uses an extender.

The water near the bungalows is too shallow to swim. The best swimming and snorkeling is 200 ft off shore. The cost for a round trip water taxi to Raiatea or Tahaa is extremely expensive (appx $ 300.00)

If you are not a “big resort” person this place is for you. My husband and I really liked the room and the view was amazing- probably just as great as an owb. We loved the peace and quiet, we are both water people and I was a little disappointed how shallow the water was which made swimming not as inviting but we did enjoy kayaking around. The staff was nice and the food was good. There is no choice on meals which was ok since we were only there for two nights. I did not feel the food was worth paying $100 a person but again for two nights it was ok. Our biggest complaint and why we would never go back is the transportation to the island is complicated. Our flight was delayed due to weather and we arrived at 4;30 instead of 3. There were 4 of us and they waited to pick us up but charged us double for the transfer. They said they were under no obligation to pick us up after 3:30 and have to charge us double. The manager said it is their policy and he was not flexible at all. It just left a bad taste in our mouth after spending so much money to stay there and they treat you like that. If you go you should fly in the day before to be safe. We liked the place but did not feel they appreciated our business and were just trying to make money by nickle and dimeing you.

Gilligan's Island meets White Lotus. That is how I would title our Edan Taha’a experience. The motu is just perfectly situated with breathtaking views and an abundance of fish to observe in the shallow (2 – 4 ft) lagoon. The 5 guest bungalows right on the water’s edge are spacious, comfortable, and much nicer than the photos indicate. Small staff is led by Max who does a good job running the show doing his best to keep everyone happy. Mosquitos and lack of A/C did not impact us at all. Highly recommend the full day semi-private boat tour excursion around Taha’a. The visit to the vanilla plantation and pearl farm were surprisingly interesting and snorkeling the coral garden and swimming with the blackfin sharks was very cool. Other days, we used the provided snorkeling equipment, paddleboards and kayaked to a small motu not far away. If asked to provide some constructive criticism, we were moderately disappointed with the food. It was good but did not meet our high expectations given the price and stellar reviews from year's past. For example, on our last night, our desert was an uninspiring simple fruit salad. The potential is there as we had an excellent swordfish entrée one night and a few good appetizers over the course of our 4 night stay. We were just expecting more and it’s the only thing holding me back from giving a 5-star review. However, overall we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend others to spend 3 nights here!

Staying here was truly a magical experience. After we left here, we went to bora bora and stayed at one of the big resorts in an overwater bungalow, and this place beat Bora for me. Even when this property is fully booked, you feel like you’re alone. It’s very private and romantic. The view from our bungalow was exquisite and each bungalow has its own ocean access for swimming and snorkeling. The bungalow felt luxurious. On our boat ride in we saw dolphins, sting rays, and black tip sharks and our driver was excited to slow down and point them out to each of us. Talk about a great start to the trip! The food was AMAZING! We couldn’t wait until the next meal cuz everything was so delicious! Max was very kind and accommodating. We loved talking to the staff and learning some Tahitian words—Marooroo friends! I also recommend booking a full day boat tour—this was my favorite thing we did while there. This place is magical and you’ll be missing out if you don’t stay here. A couple tips based on what we noticed with other travelers: The dinners are chef’s choice, so if you’re a picky eater this might not be the best spot for you. If you’re not a picky eater, you will be blessed by the chef’s cooking! If you’re only a resort type traveler, know that this is luxury but it isn’t a resort, so don’t expect a resort! It’s on a private island, runs primarily on solar etc. If you need it to feel like an American hotel this may not be the spot for you. I can’t wait to return! À tout!

Amazing private island property right on a reef off of Tahaa. Food was amazing. Snorkel and kayaks available. Be aware that pricing of the rooms does not include $90/pp for transportation to the Riateaa airport round trip, nor does it include the meal plans that start at ~$100/pp per day. If Expedia or their website says $500 per night for 2 people it will end up costing $900 per night with everything included!

A different kind of accommodation
A different type of stay rustic but luxurious. Cabins were large with all the amenities you could ask for. Being somewhat rustic there was no AC. The fan made up for that to a degree. Only 6 cabins made for a different take on your usual type of accommodation

Great stay during COVID lockdown
The entire experience was great from start to finish. Bernardo us up on the boat from the airport for a short 30 minute ride to the island. The island is private with four bungalows, a bar and a restaurant. We were there during the COVID lockdown, so while we were unable to go to the island for excursions, we did use their kayaks several times. Our bungalow was spacious with a bedroom, separate living area, bathroom and full deck. The overall service was great with Bernardo being so gracious and helpful. The owners were also there and were very welcoming. Aside from the amazing setting, our next favorite thing was the food. For part of our stay they brought Arthur, a professional chef. Everything was delicious! Thank you for a great experience!!

Magical. Unforgettable. A little slice of paradise
There are only five bungalows on this cozy, private island accessible by 30-minute boat ride from the Raiatea airport (10 minutes by boat from Taha’a). Everything here is picture-perfect and like a dream! The grounds are meticulously maintained and the bungalows are well-appointed with indoor and outdoor furnishings, including comfy bedding and pillows, an electric tea kettle (with coffee, tea and bottled water provided), a mini fridge and soft, fluffy towels. You will feel welcomed from the moment you arrive, and your every need will be attended to! Our hosts greeted us with fresh juice and fragrant leis upon our arrival and sent us off with shell necklaces at departure. All tours were easily arranged upon request, including transportation from the island. The intimate setting and amazing hospitality here truly makes you feel like you’re visiting relatives who just happen to own their own island! We didn’t want to leave! We stayed in the Family Bungalow, which provided two beds + twin-sized sleeper sofa. Situated at the end of the island, we had a panoramic ocean view to watch sunrise and sunset from the floor-to-ceiling windows, open patio doors or balcony. We were situated less than ten steps from the island’s private, protected lagoon, where we observed a gorgeous coral garden filled with tropical fish, stingrays, sea cucumbers, and reef sharks. We borrowed kayaks, masks and snorkels from our hosts — but we could just as easily simply stand in the lagoon and observe.
