The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands All Inclusive Resorts

"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"

"If you are a diver, look no further. If you want to literally get away from it all and live in paradise for a few days, look no further. If you want to do both, then you definitely have to go to Tiputa Lodge. Henry is the owner and he has certainly found a very special part of the world. He’s a fellow scuba diver and is very knowledgeable about the area, let him set you up with Serge, a local dive operator, and you’ll dive some of the most amazing sites ever. We saw dolphins every single day at Tiputa pass. It was legendary. You can ride a bike for 5 min to meet serge at the dock, or Henry will drive you, but I much preferred to bike, made for a cooler experience. Tiputa pass is just a short 5 minutes from the dock. From the moment you leave the lodge, you’re basically in the water within 20 minutes. And after a couple dives, you have a completely private beach at the lodge to spend the rest of the day. Great snorkeling right from shore as well. Make sure to request the waffles for breakfast, they are seriously delicious. The other great thing about Tiputa is that 250 of the nicest people I’ve ever met live there, and that’s an understatement. Everybody waves, says hello (or bonjour), it’s literally a happy little island. Henry couldn’t be a better host too. Just go if you can, I’m hoping I get to return one day. "

"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 "

"Nicest OWB we have stayed in the French Polynesia! Staff was excellent and quite beautiful location. Only thing we would have changed a little was some additional lunch and dinner options at the restaurant. Food was excellent, breakfast included, just was looking for salads and more simple things. Overall we would highly recommend Le Tikehau! "

"Lovely stay overall - beautiful small property. Attentive host, comfortable beds- do bring mosquito repellent. Would definitely stay again. Food was the only disappointment. The set menu the night we had it was a 4oz piece of fish, buttered carrots, a tiny (2 bite) appetizer and a dessert dish that we both found unpalatable. No bread, no choices. My husband left the table still hungry. I would not book the optional dinner again."

"We took our family of 4 and had a lovely time. The location is quiet, peaceful, and remote which we loved. We walked all around the property as much as we pleased and explored the beautiful scenery. The fishing was great and Captain was amazing. They even cooked the fish we caught and the chef was superb. It’s very easy to relax and unwind from the American hustle and bustle at Aotera. The host was very welcoming, friendly and helpful during the whole stay. It definitely was a week in paradise."

"Cute Tree house villa with gorgeous views of lagoon. Comfy bed. "

"The "cabins" are very crude. They don't have AC and are very dated. Having said that, it cooled off nicely in the cabin. There are gaps below door and around windows. If you are prepared for crude then it will be a good stay. You are right by the ocean and very quiet. There are bikes, kayaks and standing boards available for use. The meals were very good too. It was a good experience. Just don't expect fancy at all. "

"A couple of nice bungalows near the ocean reef. Location to the main pier within bicycle distance for tours. Breakfast only option on site. General store nearby. A couple of lunch and dinner options nearby. Cynthia the hostess is energetic and accommodating. Fits the travel niche of the quiet retreat with WiFi. "
