Accommodation in Fakarava

We stayed at the lodge for three nights and we went to Fakarava essentially for diving. The lodge is quite remote from town and most dive centers (7-9 km) but most of them offer pick-up. There are bicycles at the lodge but they don’t have brakes nor handles and the return from the town center can be challenging at night due to strong headwind. The lodge was clean, however - since there are no mosquito nets at the windows - many bugs and gecko can enter the room. Therefore you don’t want to leave the windows open and the room becomes hot quickly - fan is provided. The lodge offers internet connection but - when we stayed - it was impossible to browse the internet possibly due to the bad weather. The owner speaks no English at all and it was very difficult to communicate with him and his staff. However, they were very kind and helped us in any possible way. That said - most structures in Fakarava offer basic services and if your prepared and know what to expect you may enjoy your stay. Small improvements from the owners to the lodge could significantly increase the pleasure of the stay. Also, the price is pretty high for what is offered. If you like simple and remote places, the lodge is quiet and offer amazing ocean view with a private pool.

Smooth booking of airport shuttles Easy process for renting bicycles

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!

Super clean and comfortable with helpful staff. Perfect if you just want somewhere simple and don’t mind walking / cycling a bit

Fareana Lodge exceeded our expectations.ln fact it was by far our favourite place to stay in all of the islands. The bungalow was one of two in the property. It had everything we might need, stories and clean. The location was great, It was right on the edge of the lagoon which has the most amazing snorkeling right from the beach. There are also complimentary kayaks and bicycles. The lodge is 15kms from town, but there is a small supermarket 5kms äway.. if we needed anything, the hosts were always there to help us out. The hosts, Isabelle and Kelly were just so amazing, friendly and helpful. They picked us up from the village and organised our transfer to the airport. They were always checking if we needed anything.. We arrived as guests, but left as friends. We would have no hesitation recommending Fareana Lodge

Beautiful bungalow with seaview. Lovely hosts, and delicious food. I love that they take a stand on protecting the environment and making an effort to leave a minimum impact

Tati and his Family are great hosts. His communication and helpfulness from the time I made the booking was the nicest and promptest that I have experienced in all my bookings (and I book a lot of hotels on this app). The bungalows are new and clean and comfortable with views of the coconut trees and the beach and lagoon. They deliver Bakery every morning fresh to the balcony and Tati is so helpful and accomodating for arranging bookings on the island for you for things such as diving. They also have brand new push bikes and e-scooters that you can rent. Would highly recommend 🏝️🌸🦈

Great location, great house, very spacious, awesome terrace, sleeping by the sound of the waves. Good kitchen. Warm welcome with flowers. Definitely a place where I would spend more time.
