We arrived from our flight starving and ordered two burgers with no bun and a pizza for two of us to share. We are on our honey moon, we ordered no bun bc we wanted to eat the carbs from the pizza. But the waitress came back to tell us that “the chef said no” about us getting a pizza as well as our burgers?? So whatever we didn’t get the pizza we wanted?

Staff was very friendly, but as we saw was common in French Polynesia they seemed to disappear here and there or simply be "on island time" which we had to learn to adjust to, or simply go find them (e.g. to...
Read moreFood was good, not exceptional, but good. One cannot expect a gourmet salad, but both salads we got - Greek and Duck salad were ok. The steak was ok as well. The dessert was amazing - very well presented and delicious! Service was very good, prompt and super friendly. They even accommodated us with a fruit plate at the end of the night! Dip your toes in the sand or dine on the wooden podium. Both areas have great views of the night lagoon and the overeater...
