The place is amazing, I booked the beachfront bungalow, the hotel's private beach. A wonderful view. We were very well received by the hotel host, who picked us up at the airport. The hotel has bikes for rent and lots of information about sightseeing. The beachfront bungalow has a well-equipped mini kitchen. There is a supermarket in front of the hotel, the beach is 2 minutes away, it has been considered one of the most beautiful in the world. I liked everything and I definitely recommend it and will be back.
I have nothing to complain about, I liked everything.

We were absolute beach front! We were lucky to get the bungalow. No air conditioning but a breeze from the seas. Bora Bora is so expensive and really doesn’t cater for the budget traveller so we were lucky (although AUD$300 a night isn’t really budget). But the other bungalows in this complex might not have been so comfortable. There are beach loungers. It’s all open in the bungalow with a convenient little kitchen. Just across the road from a little supermarket and near the Avis office to rent scooters. The island is small and we found scooters were adequate. And it’s in walking distance to the famous Matira Beach - a stunningly, beautiful beach, voted one of the best in the world on Trip Advisor There are canoes and bikes for hire
The beach loungers are right outside the room so in the evening people can be sitting a few meters from your room if you get the front bungalow. In the dry season when it’s cooler the rooms would be cooler, there is a ceiling fan and I believe one family bungalow has air con. But if you go in the hot, rainy season I don’t think it would be worth it.

This place is perfectly placed, You get to enjoy the sunrise from the private beach which is beautifully maintained, then just a few minutes walk you get to enjoy the sunset from Matira beach. The staff were really helpful and the grounds were beautifully maintained by the gardener. There were quite a few properties on a relatively small area of ground but it was well designed and we didn't feel that we were being overlooked by the other bungalows. Also being close to the free beach of Matira was a real benefit as we enjoyed many hours walking up and down and snorkelling there. Also a very good thing in our eyes was that there was a small supermarket (shop) almost opposite so it was easy to buy all we needed to cook from there.
The kitchen facilities were only adequate. This could certainly be improved on.

Village Temanuata in Bora Bora is an amazing value for the island. A wonderful central location on Matira Beach to restaurants. Located very near the Intercontinental provided easy access to the bi-weekly cultural dance show and buffet there. The private beach is shaded with a breeze in the afternoon and has amazing views. We stayed in #12 bungalow. It is a family bungalow that could sleep 6 people. Having a kitchen was great! Our bungalow had air conditioning and a hot water shower, as well. The private patios were nice for relaxing, too. Christophe is a kind and relaxed host. Definitely would recommend Village Temanuata to families looking for a great value in Bora Bora.

Beach location was amazing! White sand beach on your doorstep!!! Great snorkeling from beach too. 😄😄😁 we travelled with a 1.5year old and the staff were very accommodating and lovely. Having the beautiful public beach around the corner and pizza place right next door made the trip even better. Rooms are basic but have everything you need and are cleaned daily. Very cool spot 😎😎 managed to see turtles, stingrays, reef sharks and an abundance of cool fish 40m out in lagoon too. Bonus is that you can hire bikes to travel from here too🏝 with car rental and boat hire 5mins from accomodation.
Not much!! Friendly staff, great location and good deals.

Location is EXCEPTIONAL. All is Secure, Safety and Guest care and satisfaction is paramount. Xtra's / offerings for Guests is FABulous. Local Knowledge clearly pointed out on arrival - grocery store, local restaurants their happy hours and closing times etc.... valuable information. Bungalow/Room is perfect - a fully self contained, private unit within close proximity to other rooms, all very compact and quaint village with white sand from entry to the private beach at the other end of the pathway.
We would have appreciated knowing that there are hire age costs for pushbikes, kayaks, early check out and also what times constitute an early check out - perhaps we are naive travellers - however, at our accommodation in NZ we offer these things as complimentary ie no charge..... happy to pay but would like clear indication that these are at cost. merci. we will be back.

We loved everything. The location is superb. It’s right next to the second office of Avis from whom we rented a scooter so it was easy to recharge its battery. Also, the beach that the bungalows have access is fabulous. We snorkelled on our own and saw numerous fish, eagle rays, sharks and turtles. Also, the staff are outstandingly friendly, helpful and kind, all of them. They gave us all necessary info and tips and advice. I’d stay here again any time.
The Wi-Fi signal was very weak in the bungalow so perhaps that could be fixed. On the terrace it worked fine.

best beach in town- great location for shopping for food and a couple of eateries on the doorstep. property is a bunch of basic huts . so not for someone seeking Luxury and aircon. but it was perfect for us. the best beach on the doorstep , the property was tidy and cleaned daily. we felt super safe. staff was extremly polite, eager to help. Right from Christophe and Christine to the cleaners and everyone was just the most wonderful bunch of people who would bend over to help the guests. one really great tip- dont bother arranging tour bookings or taxis yourself. just ask the reception to arrange it and they will just charge it at the end of the trip with one single Credit card payment. saves the hassle of finding a reliable company or counting the currency . and do not miss the sunrise from the beach. i can not wait to go back again.
i did not mind but some people think of Bora bora and straightaway might imagine a hut on the water with aircon . this does not have that. some domestic lizards can freak some people out and the cutlery is basic. But i found that to be its charm and have absolutely no complaints about it.
