Hotel Atia Piti in Raiatea … Very nice hotel right on the beach. Staff was very helpful. The main advantage and disadvantage is its isolation which we loved. I would easily go there again.
Pension Chez Guynette in Huahine … good hostel in the small town Fare. very clean, Moe and his wife are very friendly and helpful and they can speak English (which is very important for people with no French knowledge). big kitchen and dorm room. a supermarket is close to the hostel. the beach is a 2 minutes walk away.
Camping Chez Nelson in Moorea … Compared to other options, this place is very nice. It's very low-key, but clean enough - good for a simple beach holiday. Don't trust the buses, though! They often don't turn up.
Camping Chez Nelson in Moorea … Considering the standards in French Polynesia, we found that this place was very nice and clean. It's situated near a shopping center and a grocery, and you can walk around and find many services. There's a bus stop just in front the campsite. We would go back anytime. The owners are not very communicative, but they are helpful and honest.
Camping Chez Nelson in Moorea … As camping places go I thought it was pretty good. It's in a good location, very close to a small shopping centre and several food stores. There are also several hostels/hotels right along the road so there are always plenty people around to make friends with. Souvenir and art shops are a plenty and they sell some beautiful things, particularly the pearls, although theyre not necessarily for the budget buyer. The water is lovely and warm as it's in a lagoon but there are many many rocks around! Advantage is though you can walk out into the lagoon for pretty much miles and you'll still only be chest deep. Further down from Nelson there's a stunning snorkeling patch with rockpools full of beautiful creatures. And there's also a regular current that runs right outside Nelson so swim one way and float back to where you began! The kitchen is good, loads of room to eat and store food in fridges. Beware the chickens though! They're evil, as are the cats, although slightly less so…
Camping Chez Nelson in Moorea … We took the ferry from Tahiti to Moorea and found it to be a much more relaxed and a nicer island. Camping Chez Nelson catered for what we needed, the only downside was no fan in the room which can be difficult as it is very humid. But all in all it was very nice and set in the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Beware of the buses though as it's possible they will not arrive at all and you could miss a ferry and have to fly back to Tahiti as we did.
Camping Chez Nelson in Moorea … Basic rooms but location is ideal. Great snorkeling less than ten metres away. There is even better sea life approximately two hundred metres down the coast where you will be almost guaranteed to see reef sharks, rays, and barracudas if you're unlucky. Great place to visit. Paradise! Visited June 2005.
Camping Chez Nelson in Moorea … Chez Nelson on Moorea is one of the few budget dorms on the island. In general, Moorea does not cater well to the budget traveler, and accommodations aren't any exception. The dorm rooms all have just 2 beds, but the beds are foam pads instead of real mattresses. Also, the windows have no…
