The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands accommodation from NZ$143

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Property was under renovation so there was a lot of construction noise. Free breakfast was nice, not a huge assortment but good. Our air conditioner was not working well but already had to move due to loud barking dog, so we made due. Once the sun set it was cooler. The view and snorkeling was great. Pool was very nice. They rent old rusty bikes if you want to ride around. There is a little convenience store right outside property that came in handy. Welcome was nice with shell lai and juice. Van ride from Airport was $15.00 each way. It was literally 3 min away from property. This is a budget friendly hotel. Overall we were happy with our stay and would consider renting one of the new bungalows when done.

What an incredible experience staying here! We split our time between two rooms, which we found out is quite common. We staying in the junior suite which was spacious and we loved the private pool/garden area. Then spent the last two days in the gorgeous overwater bungalows. Both rooms were beautiful and incredible. The food was some of the best we've ever had and the staff were very friendly and patient as we practiced our French. We will be back here for sure

It was great being away from it all and being at a very remote place. Overall I had a great stay. The diving is amazing, especially the Wall of Sharks. Please note that the place is very basic. Don’t expect luxury. The food and transport was included in the room rate, that was nice. However, the food wasn’t special and also repetitive. Breakfast is mostly just pancakes with a small piece of fruit (nothing else). For lunch and dinner it was typically rice, pasta, chicken and a fresh fish. I know there are so many good Tahitian dishes, but I didn’t see much of them. I stayed on Sauvage motu. The cabins are very basic, be prepared for that, if you like camping this might be fine, if you hate camping you will hate the accommodation. Staff was friendly
