Hotel of the week - Le Taha'a

This can't really be classified as a hotel. More like an "island fantasy made into reality." This is the place your psychiatrist tells you to conjure up in your head as your "special safe spot" LOL

It is one of the dream vacations on my wish list. Sigh...to scuba dive here would be seventh heaven. (Further proof, for me anyway, that we were created and not here by random chance.)

From their website:

"Opened since July 2002, this resort is designed to be the most exclusive resort in French Polynesia .

Superbly located on Motu Tautau on the coral reef, the resort faces the island of Taha'a on the lagoon side and offers an unsurpassed view on Bora Bora island on the ocean side.

This traditional Polynesian style hotel is 5 minutes by boat from main island of Taha'a and 35 min by boat from Raiatea Island . The resort offers 48 Over Water Suites & 12 Beach Suites more than a hundred square meters in size.

The public areas are built in the trees, providing an exquisite view on the lagoon and Taha'a Island."



I looked at the regular tourist photos of this place on tripadvisor.com and they are magnificent. Don't ever buy what a hotel or resort sells you on their website window dressing. They hire people to make them look good. Read what real travelers say and look at their pictures. This is the advice I always gave to clients when I was a travel agent. Sure you're gonna get biased reviews here and there, but generally it's a good testament to the overall consistent quality of a destination.
