Village Temanuata

This place is a gem! Absolutely loved staying there! Location is the best, you have souvenir shop with best prices across the street, grocery shop right across as well, the place has incredible, intimate private beach with beautiful views and if that is not enough, thete is public Matira beach 5 min down the road. village also has an awesome restaurant next door, and few other eateries within few min walk. Room was cosy, bed was comfortable, with adjacent bathroom and shower. Bungalow also has a veranda.

I am embarrassed to write this review … $340 a night is not worth it… even for the NY! Owners were helpful and nice… also after we could not sleep coz the mattress was too hard so were pillows, They changed our pillows - nice of them. Room was small, extremely worn out, no AC! Bathroom was extremely tiny with a twisted toilette. Room had a kitchen, outside kitchen. Door was old and hard to lock and unlock… No amenities on the property even though location was great! The room was facing the beach which was amazing but it was hard to sleep due to light and people outside. People were drinking on the beach all night … Beach was nice but facing some ugly boat ramp. If you don’t book in advance to get something nicer, I suggest to stay a guesthouse and just drive to a good hotel to enjoy amenities. We were kicked out of the room at 10 am on the 1st of January to accommodate next guest to move in right away. Sorry could not take pics when the room was tidy had to rush and take them when we were asked to leave and accommodate to cleaners to come in.

The Hotel has several restaurants and beach bars near by, as well as a supermarket. However the accommodation lets it down big time. It's showing it's age and is scruffy and dated. The bungalows are on top of each other and apart from two with lagoon views, have no view whatsoever.|Self catering and no air con. If the accommodation hadn't been prepaid we would not have stayed.

We had a great 5-day stay at hotel temanuata.||||Pros- very friendly, kind, and helpful staff. Christine was especially kind and helpful. Unbeatable location- right on the beach and walking distance to restaurants, rental cars, and other local beaches. The garden path was beautiful and lush. Fresh beach towels every day. Cute cat, Bada Bada. Very Accommodating with setting up with taxis and storing our luggage after check out and allowing us to use facilities after check out. ||||Cons- When we arrived, we found various clumps of hair, termite and gecko fecal droppings, and ants on the counters and floors. Lots of bugs and Geckos, but it is a bungalow so that was expected. For the price, while cheaper than surrounding resorts, we still would’ve liked to have the room cleaned a little better than just a floor sweep and clean towels each day.

We upgraded to the front bungalow overlooking the bay which is really nice, and looking at the other bungalows we made the right choice. However, the bungalow itself is very dated/basic. The mattress for the bed is really uncomfortable, and the room is small and cramped. The toilet in the bathroom is also cramped so there's not much room for maneuver. Generally the room and bungalow inside needs sprousing up somewhat, however the outside kitchen adjoining the outside area overlooking the bay is great. Saying this, there is a plastic screen protecting the bungalow from the wind which is rather unclear and dirty, so you cannot see too much of the view from the main seating area. The beach in front of the property is amazing and the snorkeling is fantastic! Would have expected a bit more for the money we have spent.

Excellent, relaxed beachfront location near of the public Matira Beach with a small private strip of sandy beach and some corals with colourful fish just 10 m of snorkelling away. Supermarket across the road where fresh croissants and baguette can be bought early morning. Good restaurant (Lucky House) just next door, open all day and with excellent seafood and good cocktails at reasonable happy hour prices.|Big bungalows, I was very lucky to be upgraded to one with a lovely seaview to watch the wonderful sunrises. Everything you need for selfcatering is in the kitchen (I very much prefer to make my own coffee with a croissant on my terrace, without queues at a buffet). Washing machine is available on the property.|Very friendly and helpful staff, speaking French and English and even a bit of German. I very much appreciated their non-intrusive way.|WiFi is fast and included in the room price.|The garden is a small tropical paradise with beautiful flowers. But this comes with sandy paths, as there are no paved paths on the property. So sand and ants are everywhere, which did not bother me as I live in the tropics myself and this is only natural. I just used the broom available on the terrace to clean the sand and insects in the morning and evening (staff ask every morning if guests want to have their rooms made and/ or towels changed.|Bicyles available for hiring (it is only 8 km to Vaitape with its shops) and reception can book a wide range of activities and excursions and is happy to help with advice.|However, there is no TV (but good WiFi) and no AC (but strong fans) in the bungalows and they are rustic. This is not a 5-star hotel (Intercontinental is next door). For me it was the perfect, laid back place to stay (I stayed for 6 days/ nights) and I would love to go back.

We stayed here for 5 nights and really enjoyed the location of the hotel. You can't really beat it, it's right on the beach (a couple steps out your bungalow door), and close to good restaurants, markets, public beaches, and resorts if you want to go have a nice cocktail or meal. The snorkeling at the beach was fantastic. We really enjoyed how spacious it was, and how helpful the front desk attendants were during our stay. They provide you with multiple fans to keep cool, but it does tend to get pretty hot inside (mostly during the day... during the night its not so bad, and you shouldn't be spending the day inside when you're in Bora Bora!). We rented the bikes they have, which was super fun and we loved riding around the island. I think if there were to be AC and maybe just a bit of an interior update, I would have given it 5 stars. But at the end of the day, its right on the beach in Bora Bora and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Our stay here was lovely. Were were transferred from the airport with ease and dropped off right at location. Staff was friendly and gave us a lovely tour and lots of useful information. Bungalows are clean and charming. The beach and garden are beautiful. Snorkelers delight, the beach out front has lovely coral mounts and we even had a manta rays swoop by us. Great spot and they can arrange any excursion you like. Close also to the public beach and to Eleuthera Dive Bora Bora which is also 5 stars!
