Independent hotels in Rangiroa, The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands

"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"

"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."

"Very friendly and communicative host, helped out a lot with shuttles and remained flexible"

"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. "

"Incorrectly advertised. This is not the place that you will end up staying. The woman Tiphain who runs this is very unfriendly and does not give timely responses. It was an extreme hassle to deal with the Vrbo people to get a refund. And I ended up having to pay more last minute to stay at a new place. Avoid this at all costs!!! What a terrible headache to deal with the day before my vacation."
