Hoteles de 2 estrellas en Fakarava

OK, so I must admit that I had so much hesitancy staying here due to the recent reviews that I asked Top Dive (unaffiliated and their competitor dive company) and they were actually shocked to hear any negative reviews. Done. So we went and we are SO HAPPY we did! Tetamanu Village was our favorite experience (and we dived 5 islands on our honeymoon and stayed in some 5 star resorts). There were absolutely no problems whatsoever and the management felt like family! We were the only guests who were non-native French speakers and had no difficulty making friends and feeling like a part of the Tetamanu family. This place is such a gem that we even met non-divers there who were referred by other non-divers! Jaw drop! This location is listed as one of the top 10 dive spots in THE WORLD. Yes. And we sent a girl we met in Bora Bora over who doesn't dive! It really was that good... We stayed for three nights in an ocean view bungalow with a direct view of the Pass. We were picked up at the airport and drove south as far as the road could take you (?15-20 minutes) then boarded a 1.5 hour boat ride to ultimately arrive in the charming and very remote village of Tetamanu. We literally felt like we were on the edge of the Earth. Exhilarating! Our bungalow was rustic but reasonable; certainly not uncomfortable by any means. We slept well and without complaint. We did not expect hot water but most of the time it wasn't even needed. We didn't expect wifi either but they had it, and I even had good signal in our bungalow!?!!?! But if I had to do it over again, I would have never asked for wifi just so I could feel as off the grid as we were! The food was good, plentiful and we never felt like we needed to be aggressive AT ALL despite being ”busy” per staff. There were plenty of leftovers after every meal and tons of variety (even for vegetarians). You will not go hungry (or unhappy). The reef below our bungalow was spectacular- we feel like ”unofficial” fish behavioral science experts now! It's fascinating to watch all the wildlife interact...and sunset is the main event! Not only do you have spectacular sunsets, the entertainment is in the water! Tons of fish and insane biodiversity- just below your feet... You will not be bored if you spend all your time on your balcony! Most people who stay here dive with Tetamanu; which is as safe as any (just to negate previous reviews). Scientists come here from all over the world and dive with Tetamanu (they were there when we were) so that should dispel that rumor. In fact, we were the ONLY ones diving with Top Dive. We were on a 10 dive pass otherwise we would have dived with Tetamanu. You like sharks? You can't miss them, above or below the water...they're everywhere! We not only feel fortunate for getting to experience Tetamanu Village, we are honored to have had the opportunity. Our trip to French Polynesia would not have been the same without our memories here and for that we would recommend this once in
