Hotels with an Outdoor Pool in The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel Kia Ora Resort &Spa in Rangiroa and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island. The service was outstanding from start to finish — the staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The on-site restaurant was excellent, offering a great menu with delicious food and a variety of breakfast options that we really enjoyed each morning. The view from the property is absolutely beautiful — perfect for relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Our room was very clean and well maintained. For those who prefer more privacy and quiet, I’d definitely suggest choosing one of the villa with a private pool — they offer a lovely secluded experience while still being close to everything. If you stay in a beach bungalow, be aware that you can hear the ocean waves at night — it’s quite soothing for some, but sometimes can get a bit loud. Overall, it was a perfect mix of comfort, great food, and genuine hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!"

"I was so impressed by the quality of this place in such a remote location. Everyone was so kind and I thought it was a beautiful hotel. Thank you for your hospitality!"

"Newly renovated and gorgeous "

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

"Incredible site with beautiful beach and amazing facilities. First class service and friendliness. So accommodating. "

"Amazing little Pension tucked away off the road, the room was a three bed and we were all female which was pleasant. Easy to get to from the airport either in a taxi (10 minutes) or on foot if you wish (50 minutes). Shared shower, toilet and fridge with an outdoor gas cooker. Only thing to remember is your mosquito repellent and bite cream, they are everywhere. "

"If you are looking for the ultimate secluded beach get away totally away from everything no cars roads or bikes..this is it. GILLIGANS ISLAND without the Skipper and Mary Ann! Nothing but untouched coast line and Palm trees. With that being Aotera Guest House offers very basic bungalows right on the stand steps away from the aqua blue sea. It is however no frills and very basic . No hot water or AC. But sometimes you have to give up the small luxuries in life if you cant afford the Conrad or Sofital and still seek absolute paradise! Far from it all the Captain will pick you up at the Marina and it is a 20 min boat ride to the Guest house. The food is ok to decent- Beer is available Beware if you walk down the beach. Along the way the only other property has doberman pincher dogs that have attacked toursists so be aware."

"We had a wonderful stay at Kori Kori House!Turia arranged a shuttle service to pick us up (with flower leis and also a quick stop at the grocery store) and drop us off at the airport and also went above and beyond to find a tour operator for the South Pass as well as rental scooters on a public holiday for us! We really appreciated her help a lot! She also made sure we could have dinner at the lodge next door on the day of our arrival which was delicious. The property was well taken care of, the bungalow was equipped with everything we needed. And we were very happy to have AC and screens on the windows (which we didn‘t find in lots of places during our 4 weeks in French Polynesia). The location close to the beach with beautiful sunsets is a big plus, too! Also, the Kori Kori Snack offers very tasty food (the swordfish was amazing!). Highly recommend!!!"

"We were so fortunate to spend our honeymoon at Ninamu — it truly felt like paradise. With only 10 bungalows on the entire island, the resort feels like you have rented a private island! Chris, the owner, is amazing. He personally purchased the island and built the resort by hand. His passion is visible everywhere, from the beautifully designed spaces to the coral-covered walls that add unique character. Heava, our waitress and bartender, made our stay extra special with her kindness and welcoming spirit. Chef cooked us some of the most incredible meals — we ate fresh-caught fish twice a day and have never felt better while traveling! The lagoon surrounding the island is stunning—crystal clear and with vibrant fish and blacktip reef sharks. Snorkeling here felt like exploring a private aquarium!"
