The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands Hotels

"Our room was so much nicer in person than in the photos posted on their listing! We were so pleasantly surprised how spacious it was, even the back patio with direct access to the water had a full outdoor lounge set which was more than we had in bora bora for WAY LESS of the price. If you want that Bora Bora bungalow aesthetic without the insane prices (of their top 3 resorts) this place is a perfect “dupe”. Also loved how secluded it was as it’s the only hotel on this piece of small land in Tikehau, so it gave off those “on the edge of the world” vibes but dripping in luxury. The staff was amazing too, everyone was so kind and super attentive to our needs. I thought I might have broken the tip of my finger on our way to Tikehau because I was feeling excruciating sharp pains all around it, and when we asked for some bandages, the manager was quick to make phone calls about possible arrangements to get me to the main island to be seen by the local hospital. When I turned that down, they offered me as much as they had in their first aid kit and checked up on me throughout my stay. It was so nice of them and I wasn’t even expecting them to remember that the whole time but they did! So thank you team at Le Tikehau, you guys were amazing and my husband and I can’t wait to come back with our whole family next time!!! "

"Central location. Easy access to both ends of the island."

"Food was delicious. On Sundays and Wednesdays they have BBQ buffet and Polynesian musicians and dancers. Very entertaining. Room was exceptionally clean. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful sunset views. There is a gift shop, but no real convenience store, so if you want snacks the closest store, depending on the day is either a mile or 7 miles away(14 round trip). Long trek on foot or on a bicycle but scenery is beautiful, so not so bad. Staff at the resort and the locals we met were always smiling and helpful, made for a very enjoyable trip. "

"Incredible site with beautiful beach and amazing facilities. First class service and friendliness. So accommodating. "

"Amazing little Pension tucked away off the road, the room was a three bed and we were all female which was pleasant. Easy to get to from the airport either in a taxi (10 minutes) or on foot if you wish (50 minutes). Shared shower, toilet and fridge with an outdoor gas cooker. Only thing to remember is your mosquito repellent and bite cream, they are everywhere. "

"If you are looking for the ultimate secluded beach get away totally away from everything no cars roads or bikes..this is it. GILLIGANS ISLAND without the Skipper and Mary Ann! Nothing but untouched coast line and Palm trees. With that being Aotera Guest House offers very basic bungalows right on the stand steps away from the aqua blue sea. It is however no frills and very basic . No hot water or AC. But sometimes you have to give up the small luxuries in life if you cant afford the Conrad or Sofital and still seek absolute paradise! Far from it all the Captain will pick you up at the Marina and it is a 20 min boat ride to the Guest house. The food is ok to decent- Beer is available Beware if you walk down the beach. Along the way the only other property has doberman pincher dogs that have attacked toursists so be aware."

"We were so fortunate to spend our honeymoon at Ninamu — it truly felt like paradise. With only 10 bungalows on the entire island, the resort feels like you have rented a private island! Chris, the owner, is amazing. He personally purchased the island and built the resort by hand. His passion is visible everywhere, from the beautifully designed spaces to the coral-covered walls that add unique character. Heava, our waitress and bartender, made our stay extra special with her kindness and welcoming spirit. Chef cooked us some of the most incredible meals — we ate fresh-caught fish twice a day and have never felt better while traveling! The lagoon surrounding the island is stunning—crystal clear and with vibrant fish and blacktip reef sharks. Snorkeling here felt like exploring a private aquarium!"

"Great location, super easy scheduling activities, really nice staff"
