HAVAIKI PEARL FARM

We were given this lodge as part of our diving trip in FP. Overall the lodge was lovely. The only problem ex had was |A) you had to pay extra for your feted eggs or omelette at breakfast. That was strange nowhere in the world we have had to pay extra for that. |B) if you are signed up on a set menu plan you got dinner with no choice. And I tell you it was a terrible, tasteless, dinner every night. I landed up going to the grocery store to buy cheese and meat to make a sandwich. The dinner was revolting! Every single night. It was like they did not care you were on a package deal and you had no choice and you had to eat what they gave you. |It was a different fish every night with a disgusting sauce. |C) we had a similar place I. Rangaria and we had a choice for dinner and it was great |D) the bungalow were good. Air conditioning good. ||The staff were good. ||I would not eat the dinner there on a meal plan.

Underbar plats! Vi besökte pärlfarmen och fick ta del av deras tillverkning av svarta pärlor. |Vi åkte även på en snorkeltur med deras partners på hotellet. Helt fantastiskt!

L’emplacement est super beau avec le snack à disposition avec des tables dans l’eau, c’est très sympa.|Le restaurant est très bon et copieux et les serveuses d’une gentillesse incroyable !|La chambre était très moyenne, toute petite salle de bain et pas de placards, dommage c’est le seul bémol

Nous n’étions pas à la pension, nous avons juste mangé au snack sur la plage, c’est rapide et bon. Belle terrasse sur l’eau. Devi sympa. Bien vu aussi la démonstration des perles tout les matins à 9h avec possibilité de miser sur une coquille et gagner une perle montée en collier ou bracelet ensuite. Très bonne idée

We spent the first 5 nights of our first trip to French Polynesia on Fakarava at Havaiki Lodge. For those who do not speak or understand French, we suggest you have a good translation app. One of us remembered enough of her French language education, so we did not have a difficult time on the island or at the lodge. ||We had a lagoon view bungalow, glad for the air-conditioning at night. We had one good, clear night for star-gazing. Loved watching the nurse sharks swim by every day. We appreciated the reserved beach chairs (bungalow numbers on the back), especially with all the non-guest people who lunched at Snack Requin Dormeur (lunch restaurant on the water). Two days of diving covered the north and south passes, lots of sharks, and a giant manta ray was the highlight.
