Ryokan in The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands

"Absolutely loved our time here! Le Tikehau was our favorite stay in French Polynesia. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and the property is beautiful. We highly recommend Le Tikehau, two thumbs way up."

"Amazing staff made this stay a true dream. Completely private island, fantastic food, and perfect place for a home base for scuba or just relaxing. Birds, coconut crabs, and even a resort dog! Absolutely recommend and would come back any time!"

"Beautiful setting. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Everyone there is great"

"This property is nothing short of unique and special. It’s a rustic paradise placed in a very strategic corner of the world for scuba diving. Can’t get any better!"

"Beautiful property. There is no beach but it does have a small pool"

"Location is very secluded and relaxed. No shops on the island but they offer half or full meal plan. Kayak or paddle board is free to use which is very good so you can explore the nearby motus. Water for showeing is salty but we didn’t mind, drinking water was provided anytime during our stay. Highly recommend if you want to switch off and relax. We did not experience mosquitoes which was an extra positive comparing to other islands."

"Beautiful hotel, great experience. The rooms are very nice and breakfast was great. Very friendly staff"

"Cynthia was a fabulous and fascinating host. She had recommended excellent companies for excursions. There are bikes available for use and her bungalows are very well situated. A wonderful stay."

"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."

"Super séjour au Motu Aito Paradise ! Magnifiques plongées bien entendu mais au-delà de ça une équipe géniale autour de Mamie ! Excellente nourriture également."

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

"It was amazing. Awesome hosts"

"Tout est bien, le joli jardin , le bungalow et surtout l'acceuil ! Justine est au petits soins, et avec un plus pour mon anniverssaire.....Justine je t'aime !:)"

"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. "

"The resort is nicely maintained and the manager and staff were friendly though some of them couldn't speak English well and it was a bit hard to communicate since I don't speak French at all. There is only one restaurant and a bit pricy but they change their dinner menu everyday and the quality of the food is pretty good. There is beach with sharrow water but too many sea cucumber to actually dip yourself in the water. I stayed in the overwater bungalow and I could snorkel right there but it may...

"fantastic place - we loved it! very friendly people and great food, superb swimming, sharks, rays, and games (boule, ping pong, mini golf)"

"Lieu incomparable ; endroit hors du temps ( on y arrive après 30 minutes de bateau), extraordinaire de beauté ; lagon de toute beauté, on peut aller de motus en motus … Chambre parfaite, très propre. Petit déjeuner copieux, dîners un peu trop chers…"

"Excellent facility, friendly staff, great breakfast especially the various confitures"
