Cottages in Fakarava

very nice owner buy food for me

Its really quiet , the bungalow is big. new fans , surprisingly good internet which is very useful to contact local hire and tour people. bed comfortable. basic cooking facilites but all you need. if we had had any break in the cloud I bet the stars would have been amazing. the people managing the property were quietly helpful and tolerant of our terrible/ non existant french. we hired an electric scooter from faka tere which was good value, they dropped off and picked up the scooter for a small fee and were really friendly- would highly recommend as then its super easy to get around. they let us have late check out which was so appreciated , as somewhat limited options otherwise, unless you arrange to go to the airport direct from a tour. we found everyone we encoutered very friendly and it felt very safe. we wished we had more time to stay for either the weather to clear or to settle in to atol pace of life. the rugged ocean side the bungalow is on does have amazing shells and coral beach and at night all you hear is the waves (and in our case the wind and rain ). we briefly used the pool, even though it was raining it was still quite humid and was a nice way to cool off as its not possible to swim in the ocean due the reef.

There was a store across the street which was needed because everyhing else is 9+ km away. The host was friendly, but didn't respond via booking during our stay. They have a young lady staying at the same location in a different house who also runs the store – she is very friendly, kind & helpful!
