The rooms are very basic, even though this is supposedly the "best resort on the island." They have double beds with bunk beds, which makes them rather unsuitable for travelers who aren't couples.
Nice green space with a pool.
The evening buffet was very good, with fresh and varied dishes. Breakfast and lunch had limited options (at lunchtime, there was often only a bland egg sandwich available on short notice). Drinks were on the expensive side.
Note for future travelers and for the travel itinerary: Average temperatures on Rurutu range from 20 to 27°C—noticeably cooler than the 26–32°C in Tahiti. Be sure to pack long pants and a fleece jacket or similar!

The rooms are clean and simple; if necessary, three people can sleep in one. Dinner after a magical sunset. The shore excursion we were treated to -> enchanting and educational—thank you ????

Thank you for letting us stay with you again after our flight was canceled without notice. We received the same great service as always ????

The whale sightings and observations moved me deeply—thank you, Hervé, for your sensitivity; I think you truly love these giants ????

I think none of us had really done our homework, so we were a little surprised by the unexpectedly cool temperatures on Rurutu. ???? Nevertheless, the accommodations were very simple and basic, but basically fine. The food was rather minimalist—exactly what you’d expect from a simple all-inclusive resort.

For me, the humpback whales were the main reason I went on this trip in the first place. Unfortunately, the trip there and back were anything but smooth: Our outbound flight was canceled after we’d already arrived at the airport, and the return flight was also canceled. As a result, we had to spend about nine hours at the airport. On top of that, I had to share a room for the last two nights. Another new experience for me was a check-out time as early as 9 a.m.

What I regretted most, however, was that the encounters with the humpback whales sometimes felt too touristy and not very personal. Precisely because the whales were the real highlight for me and the main reason for the trip to Rurutu, I had imagined this part of the stay to be a little different.
