Vai'anae Private Home Rentals

"I won't book again! The room was hotter than hot. The A/C was off & took a long time to cool down the room. Too hot to sleep, just lay there sweating. Why would the staff not turn on the a/c for expected guests? The fridge was also turned off, there was a kettle but no mugs. Minimum towels, no soap, shampoo & only one pillow each. No extras at all. There is a set of stairs to the elevator, I am a senior with large, heavy luggage & no offer of help from staff. Disgraceful!"

"Beautiful resort and location. It just opened on March 1, 2026 so it had only been open for a couple of weeks before we arrived. They were still hiring staff so restaurants were only open part time. Staff is wonderful and in a couple of months all should be up and running and fabulous. I would definitely go back"

"It is just amazing. A smallish luxury hotel located in extraordinary views with superb snorkeling just below the hotel pool. Built for comfort! And on a gorgeous island -- my favorite. (Like I imagine Kauai was before they lost the king -- and I don't mean Elvis.)"

"The staff was terrific, friendly and helpful."

"We stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was a wonderful experience. It was very clean and the staff were great. There were lots of water sports available as well. "

"What a gorgeous property, and so close to the airport, without feeling the slightest bit like an “airport hotel.” The place is large and well laid-out, with a wide variety of pool and dining options, each with a totally different vibe. We spent a two-day layover here on the way to New Zealand, and without ever leaving the property, we felt like we had a lovely little Tahitian getaway! The “Lagoonarium” — a mini-lagoon with exotic fishes you could swim with! — was a childhood dream come true! I always wanted to jump into the fish ponds at resorts, and I was able to do that in this gorgeous pool with friendly fishes! They also have a sea turtle rescue program there, which was fascinating and moving. We took a scuba diving trip right from the property a few hours after arriving, and saw many fish, stingrays, eagle rays, a plane wreck and a boat wreck in the crystal-clear waters. What a low-effort way to have a spectacular experience! The food at The Lotus Restaurant was transcendent! Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know! "

"Very clean room. Quiet, out if the way facility with an outstanding view. Very helpful staff. Beware, extremely remote and a difficult drive to get there."

"What a gem of a find! True to its name, this was a happy and peaceful place for the 4 days we were on Moorea. This property is very well kept and our bungalow spotless and well stocked with kitchen necessities. Loved having our own outdoor living/dining patio space and access to the pool, jacuzzi and lounge chairs to enjoy the lovely sunsets. The daily breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Thank you to the warm, welcoming and helpful staff of Fare Oaoa Haapiti! "

"Bathroom is dirty. Room is small."
