Relaxing stopover in Raiatea
We spent two nights at Hilda and Olivier’s lovely B&B+ as a transition between Maupiti and Taha’a.
The bungalow is built and decorated with focus on quality, beauty, and locale. At every turn I saw patience, craftsmanship, and concern for the environment. The bungalows are made to last!
The interior is modern in design and amenities. The bedding is of high quality and very comfortable. Ceiling fan plus A/C plus mosquito screens in all windows plus shutters make adjusting to temperature changes easy. I especially noted the lovely cool-ish breeze off the mountains coming through during the night.
Are there mosquitos and ants? Of course there are, it’s the tropics. And we weren’t bothered at all.
Hilda is a star-quality chef, and the three-course dinners that Olivier delivers to the bungalow are a celebration for the eye and palate. The breakfast, also delivered to the bungalow, is plentiful and includes homemade jams and homegrown fruit. Good coffee, too.
I did swim in the salt water pool, and it is long enough for five strokes. While not enough for a workout, it’s lovely for cooling off.
Hilda and Olivier go out of their way to be helpful, professional, and friendly. Responses to my emails were prompt.
We would stay at Vare Vavae again and recommend it.
