Another modest property with a marvelous view, Greg Hardee's compact, all-bungalow hotel sits behind a rock wall along the road, but its other side opens to Cook's Bay. Noted for its fish burgers, the hotel's overwater Kaveka Restaurant enjoys a view rivaled only by Snack l'Ananas Bleu (Blue Pineapple) at the Club Bali Hai. The white-sand beach here is small (a breakwater fronts most of the property), but snorkeling is very good, especially off the hotel's pier. Recently refurbished, the bungalows are made of timber with shingle roofs covering pandanus ceilings. Most have attractive mat walls, single and king-size platform beds, and shower-only bathrooms. Two units have two double beds and larger bathrooms. The least expensive lanai units lack porches and air conditioners. All units have ceiling fans, but none of their windows is screened. The few-frills Kaveka often is the least expensive hotel offered in package trips to French Polynesia.
