For our trip to FP, we were looking to stay in the pensions - and Hotu Guesthouse was incredibly special in that you share breakfast and dinner at a table with the other guests - and we met some incredible people we kept running into (very happily!) the rest of our trip (if you know there's more to FP than...

My husband and I visited seven islands and from the pensions we stayed this was the one we ‎less liked! At the other pensions we felt comfortable and immediately welcomed but here we ‎had some communication problems and the owner (a woman) treated us as air! First of all I ‎have to say that we do not speak French, however... More

This is the way to visit Polynesia: stay at the small pensions. No hot water, sometimes no light, no buffet, no all inclusive: but good atmosphere and affordable prices.

This was our last stop on this trip (and 3rd trip to F.P and to the Tuamotus!) and we felt that once again being in the Tuamotu was like living in paradise (or in the perfect postcard)... All the bungalows are on the beach and have a covered terrasse where you can sit on and watch the sunset. Actually we... More

This was our last stop on our 3 week holiday in polynesia. After having delicious food we were disappointed about the poor quality of the meals provided. Since the island is so small, you pretty much have to eat what they are serving. Example of a dinner: a salad ( think carrot and a squeeze of lime juice), plain rice... More

The Hotu guest house is probably the best value on the island : simple but nice bungalows that the owners keep on improving, ideal location on the beach, and a most friendly service of the owners' parents. Great food also. a very good choice

Lovely beach bungalows right by a beautiful beach facing the lagoon. Very clean and tidy. Alexandre and his nice family make your stay very enjoyable. The food is delicious. Kayaks and bicycles available. We had a great relaxing holiday and hope to be back.

The Pension Hotu is a great place to stay for those looking for a friendly place that is not necessarily luxurious, but genuine. Alex, the owner, is very nice and helpful. The food was awesome. We had great local fish almost every night and it was really good. He made arrangements for a variety of excusions around the atoll. The... More
