Motu Toopua Yoga Holidays

Great hotel, recommend going off site for dinner but get breakfast included with your stay.

The property is beautiful and the overwater bungalows are well maintained! Breakfast buffet didn’t disappoint either - very good selection of a wide variety of items. Staff at the resort were underwhelming unfortunately in terms of service. This started with my pre-arrival communications with their concierge, which was consistently delayed and slow on Thalasso’s end. This only continued during my stay at the property. Many staff at the pool and restaurants didn’t even speak or understand fluent English. Due to their poor communication skills, they never extended to help in any capacity like providing towels, bringing water, checking in, etc. Overall pretty mixed experience. Expected much better service given how nice the property is.

Pros: beautiful grounds, attentive and kind staff, engaging Polynesian dance show, good breakfast buffet, impeccable Arii Moana restaurant experience, quality of over-water bungalows and beds, quick room service, and the tour operators who come for excursions are amazing. Cons: we experienced oversights during our stay that are unacceptable at the prices being charged, including a botched double booking for sailing before arrival, waiting 27 minutes to get even water to drink at our first night's dinner reservation at Vaimiti, a spa day that was not as we ordered it (we ordered pareo massage that was clearly advertised as part of the ritual, and were told it was not possible, and instead of received very abbreviated swedish massage that was meh), and a mistake in allowing reservations for the Polynesian dance show to be made too late in the evening that resulted in having to run the mile from my bungalow with wet hair and no makeup in order to make the show. I also was not hungry yet because I was expecting to have dinner much later, and was charged $150 for the buffet regardless. My husband is not a picky eater and said the buffet was terrible, with 2 of the savory options being so salty as to be inedible. The buffet offerings looked limited and sad, very inferior to their breakfast buffet. Overall, we would have been equally happy elsewhere for half the price and did not find the execution to meet a high enough standard to justify the cost.

This was such an incredible and unique (in a good way!) place to stay. The owner, Nir, has really built his dreams out here. The grounds are literally a botanical garden hideaway, and he has built 4 amazing bungalows. The thing that really stood out, though, was the level of service. He and his family live on the property and will do anything - literally - to make your stay more comfortable and convenient. He drove us places, dropped us off, picked us up, gave us advice, and even let us borrow a car! We got a free upgrade to the brand new luxury bungalow for no reason at all. It has a fully stocked bar and an unbelievable view. I had no complaints at all about this stay. Perfect for getting away from it all.

Great unforgettable stay with friendly and helpful staff. You feel like your are part of family and every staff member care about you . Moeava was extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended
