We enjoyed everything about this lodging. The beautiful view right outside the door was unbelievable. We travelled all around the island to several beautiful beaches, but this little private area was hard to beat.

We loved our stay
The bungalow felt very private. The view, access to the lagoon, and snorkeling were amazing. There were a lot of little details that were nice. It was everything we were looking for. We stayed in several outstanding places on Moorea, including a Hilton overwater bungalow, and this was our favorite.

Quaint, Cozy & Beautiful
The location, views and comfort was wonderful.
Ideal for stays up to one week. Staying longer you may want to consider the larger units. The boat rental option was ok, but would suggest taking an organized tour instead.
Randall
Response from VrboOwner on 12 April 2024
Totally agree with you. This bungalow is ideal for a stay up to a week, for longer staysfor a family our beach Villas are better suited indeed. Concerning the small 6HP boat this is great for guests with a good experience in motor boat, otherwise a private tour is advised. Some guests do both actually! Hope to welcome you again.

Beautiful villa
This is a beautiful private villa.
I think it helps to have a rental car to get around the island and explore.
It’s a different experience than the overwater bungalow hotels, a little less luxury with more island feel.
Colleen
Response from VrboOwner on 29 August 2022
I agree, the best is probably to combine such a traditional wooden Villa right by the lagoon and discover Moorea island vibes by your own, and on another island (eg Bora Bora) be pampered in a luxury Hotel :). Denis

Perfect bungalow!
What a perfect place for our honeymoon! We loved being on the water, and snorkeling right out the back door! The land crabs are so cute to watch, we cracked some coconuts from the coconut tree, and we had a sweet kitty friend that visited frequently. This little place had everything we needed!
Rachel
Response from VrboOwner on 3 November 2022

Relaxing Robinson's Cove
Breathtaking location! Bungalow was perfectly set up for any length of stay. We found it a challenge every morning to be motivated to leave for the day, when waking up to such a spectacular view...the communication with the property and the service of the on-site host, Alix, was just as stunning, too! We would highly recommend booking the car rental and ferry transfers with your stay, very convenient.

Fantastic experience at Robinson Cove! We stayed for 1week and can’t begin to express the beautiful time here! What a happy surprise to see the whales come into the bay. Every morning and evening we would watch for them. We are already planning a return trip!
Susan
Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2023
Thank you very much for your review. So lucky with the whales! Our bay is indeed very quiet and the mother whales come with their young. But this does not always happen, and in this case a boat excursion can be arranged to meet them during a day trip. Mid-August to end of October is the good period for whales.

Days of paradise
Time standing still, no crowds, silent except for the sound of waves and wind in the trees. Away from nightlife, the hurried travel of vehicles taking people to and from work. Easily filled eyes with a spectrum of color backed by every shade of green. It was a refreshing peace not to be shared on Facebook.

Tremendous Location
There was nothing to complain about and I mean nothing!!! It surpassed our expectations!! The view, the accomodations, the access to snorkeling, the beauty of Opunohu Bay & the stunning morning views of the mountains across that bay, the feeling of privacy when on the patio (even more so that the other two units), the use of the kayaks on a calm morning paddle and even last minute access to the owner's personal vehicle. This is a true hidden gem that we hope, at least for our sake, remains hidden! My wife & I have already promised ourselves to return soon!
Nothing.

A very special place
We are an older couple and enjoyed the peace and serenity of the place over 4 days and 5 nights. The bungalow was well appointed, including the kitchen, and met all our needs. The snorkelling just off the shore was very special. It is also in a good position from which to explore this beautiful island and enjoy watching the light play on such amazing mountain peaks. We loved the private lagoon tour with Polynesian Spirit which had been recommended - that was very special. We appreciated being able to hire a car as it was necessary for getting around. Recommendations for eating places was also helpful. We appreciated the caring support of Alix the caretaker. We have lovely memories of our stay.
None!
Beverley
Response from VrboOwner on 7 July 2023
Thank you very much for your review. There are many options and providers to explore the lagoon and its treasures, but Polynesian Spirit is indeed a special experience with its authentic sailing outrigger canoe (there aren't that many anymore!). Thank you also for your words about Alix our onsite concierge, she is a very helpful assistance for all our guests. We hope to greet you again :)

Perfect getaway
Fabulous cozy villa with perfect little kitchen and incredible view and water access. We saw whales one morning just a 100 feet away! Alix the concierge was very helpful and responsive and make us feel very much at home. We hope to be back some day! Note that all villas do back up to the main island road (they are enclosed behind a security gate) so you will hear cars/motor bikes, but this did not bother us at all.
Hot water was not that hot but it was fine.
Emiley
Response from VrboOwner on 12 August 2024
Thanks for your review! Hot water is heated directly from a solar panel, which is great... but water can be tepid when the weather is cloudy. Great about the whales. Hope to welcome you again in Opunohu bay! The management.

Strange to discover your disappointment regarding our little nest along the lagoon, especially since the client just after left you a note of 10 and a wonderful testimony: "Easily filled eyes with a spectrum of color backed by every shade of green. It was a refreshing peace not to be shared on Facebook". Concerning the amenities (toilet seat, fan, etc), just ask our concierge living on site to fix any hiccup, that will be done in a breeze. Some guests such as you don't want to disturb her! BTW the cooking knives are from Ikea and were replaced last July. Hope to greet you again, the management.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich ein Traum. Direkt in einer Bucht gelegen mit Zugang zum Wasser.
Auch Kanus und Schnorchelausrüstugen standen kostenlos zur Verfügung.
Die Lodge ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Reisende sollten aber wissen, dass es überall offene Stellen gibt, sodass die einige Tiere verirren können (Geckos, Kakerlaken).
Die Dusche wird über eine Solaranlage betrieben. Stürmt es einige Tage, wie bei uns, gibt es auch kein warmes Wasser.
Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr nett. Er hat auch organisiert, dass wir mit dem Taxi von der Fähre in die Lodge kamen. Von ihm kann man sich auch ein Auto leihen, was sehr hilfreich war. Ohne Auto ist man dort aufgeschmissen.
In allem hatten wir wunderschöne Tage dort.

A very honest review
I'd like to be as honest about this review as I found the current reviews of this place missing a few key points that you might want to consider.
Overall the property is accurately pictured, was clean given the industry standard, and right on the lagoon as the description states.
However, at the price point you are booking this, there are several inconveniences you might want to consider.
- This particular villa doesn't have a standard private parking. So if you rented a car this might be a bit of an annoyance. Now, Alix was super helpful and moved her own car up to accommodate a parking spot for us. But we did find it annoying on vacation to be up before 10am (which is when Alix would typically make her daily trip out), to move the car over to the street. Not a deal breaker, just an annoyance.
- There are mosquitos EVERYWHERE and they BITE! These mosquitos like to feast. My husband & I got bit everywhere, and over and over again. No form of mosquito spray will work, trust me on this. If you are fine constantly itching your skin you'll be fine. I felt like this mosquito issue really prevented us from enjoying the outdoors so we found ourselves inside the villa most of the time. I guess this is a given being on the lagoon side, but man it was really difficult dealing with these mosquitos. I wish someone would've mentioned this in one of the reviews.
- AC placement in the bedroom is a bit off. Its located above the closet in the room, and didn't seem to be a powerful AC either. The room did cool, but certainly not to the degree that you'd want. Additionally, the roof on the bedroom and the bathroom both are not sealed so tons of mosquitos and other bugs do find their way in that way as well. And this is probably another reason the AC is unable to cool down the room.
- Lastly, for the price point you are paying for this villa, it is really tiny. There is no storage space (aside from a tiny closet right next to the bed) or any form of an indoor living room where we could placed your luggage. With our luggage alone (2 suitcases) and the room already being on the tiny-side, we just felt crammed .
I know I focused mainly on the cons here, but this place is really beautiful. However, it is pricy for the inconveniences you'll experience. If you are OK with all of the above, then you'd really enjoy your time. Alix was great and so were the kayaks, life jackets, snorkeling fins, etc. We enjoyed Moorea and the location of this spot is great!

Great experience!
My husband and I spent 4 nights at Robinson's Cove staying in the smaller bungalow. It was absolutely lovely - beautiful wood construction with many fine details, modern and gorgeous bathroom using solar water that was efficient and plentiful, a well-equipped kitchen that we used for breakfast and lunch, comfortable bed with great mosquito netting, and a wonderful covered cabana patio that was perfect for lazy afternoons out of the sun! It was definitely an oasis to enjoy as a couple and have some solitude and peace as the area is very quiet. We did visit with our French neighbors in one of the larger villas and, of course, saw Alix and her friendly dogs every day. Alix was very helpful in making our dinner reservations and helping us plan our sight-seeing. We snorkeled right off the beach in front of the bungalow and also went to the public beach area which is very closely and had a little better visibility. The kayaks were an extra bonus and we did use them to get a little exercise and explore the lagoon each day. We loved being in a self-catering place - we went to the local markets, visited the many fruit stands, and bought fish from the locals. Highly recommend!!
