Wonderfull place though base accomodation conditions. I spend few days after in the best on atol Havaiki Lodge but comfort in Lodge could not excid the nature experience and amazing lunches and dinner. *** Michelin for Chef.

The reef and marine life were stunning. The accommodation was basic but comfortable and the staff were friendly and super accommodating.

This simple guesthouse is very remote and basic, but I would definitely stay here again. Our fare (traditional bungalow) was modest, but comfortable and charming and set on the water's edge. Meals consisted mostly of fish, rice, chicken and pasta. The staff was wonderful and the diving spectacular.

Do NOT stay in this place except if you are going to dive the Wall of Sharks!! And Maximus 2 days if you do! The price for room is so much more than you really get. The surroundings and the reef is beautiful but the bungalows are terrible. We were prepared for a simple bungalow with no hot water but everything and espacially the sheets was wet/moisty. Bring your own sleepingbag/sheet!!! Food was what you could expect but they use rainwater for drinking and clean the bottles in saltwater. We had problems with our stomach aften out days here. The young couple who helps in the kitchen during the day is nice and serviceminded.

Excellent access to some of the best diving in the world. Located right on the water and Tumakahoa pass, this location is right on shark alley and some of the most beautiful coral I’ve seen. The property is rustic but over the water and right on the reef. It is a lot like camping. Cold showers, no locking doors, damp bedding when it rains and few amenities are all part of the experience. The boat ride from Fakarava north is a little more than an hour and can really only be done in the daytime. Our flight was delayed so we had to stay in Fakarava north, which was fully booked and ended up paying for tetamanu and the pension on the north side. The staff is friendly but don’t go out if their way in hospitality. We had to ask for basics like toilet paper and they couldn’t accomodate any dietary requests or snacks when it wasn’t time for a scheduled meal. You eat what they serve, which is pancakes and fish for the most part. It was all delicious though. The dive guides were very nice and showed us some of the most incredible diving I have experienced. For me it was a special experience, but not appropriate for people that need extra care or a honeymoon type of experience like on Moorea or bora bora.

Bon séjour dans l'ensemble mais quelques problÚmes qui ne devraient pas exister pour le prix payé. Travaux tout les jours a partir de 6h du matin donc pas de grùce matinée ni de calme. Et les toilettes communes catastrophiques. Sinon le staff est sympa et le lieu incroyable.

De bungalows van Tetamanu village hebben een duidelijk achterstallig onderhoud. Er waren 3 bunglows met vernieuwde daken maar die van ons was nog in de oude staat. Het douchewater was "koud" (maar dat was vooraf bekend) en zonder druk zodat je op de grond moest zitten om wat meer water uit de douchekop te krijgen. Het bed was ok maar het moskitonet had kleine gaten. Gelukkig hadden wij geen last van muggen tijdens ons 6 daags verblijf. Het eten was lekker maar raakte binnen heel korte tijd op - er werd niets nagekookt! Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ondanks dat wij geen gebruik hebben gemaakt van de duikschool, maakte deze een georganiseerde indruk. De toestand van de "bunglows" in Tetamanu Sauvage is heel slecht - en voor zover ons bekend- wordt dit gedeelte momenteel niet gebruikt. Onze bungalow werd tijdens ons verblijf niet schoon gemaakt. Het interieur is minimaal = basic. De onderwaterwereld daar is spectakulair. Zelfs tijdens het snorkelen kom je ontzettend veel vissoorten (inkl. haaien) tegen. De dagelijkse gratis boottocht naar "Le sable rose" is zeker een aanrader. Ondanks de bovenstaande feiten hebben wij een hele mooie tijd op dit uitzonderlijk plekje aarde beleefd.

Die Unterkunft sollte sofort zugesperrt werden. Ich habe noch immer AlbtrĂ€ume von der Nacht, die ich dort verbringen musste. Das Bett, wenn man es so bezeichnen mag - war eine alte Matratze, die man nicht mal mit Handschuhen anfassen möchte. Die Kissen und der Bezug waren klamm und es war alles voller Krabbeltierkot. Das Moskitonetz hatte riesig Löcher und konnte seinen eigentlich Zweck nicht erfĂŒllen. Das „Badezimmer“ waren zwei WĂ€nde, die mit einem Vorhang als TĂŒr vom restlichen Raum abgetrennt waren. Die Dusche ist ein ekliges Rohr das aus einer Ecke kommt. Man möchte dort nichts berĂŒhren, weil alles dreckig und ranzig ist. Der Boden hing an einer Stelle durch und man hatte Angst, dass man durchbricht. In der Nacht konnte man kein Auge zubekommen, weil man Tiere knabbern hören konnte und Angst hatte, dass die Ratten ins Zimmer kommen. Die ganze Insel ist zugemĂŒllt. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck war altes gefrorenes Baguette, was man nicht einmal schneiden konnte, da es so hart war. Das Abendessen bestand aus Nudeln und Hackfleisch, aber keinem frischen Fisch. Wir wollten die Insel eher verlassen, aber die Besitzer wollten uns keinen Transfer von der Insel organisieren. Im allgemeinen sind die Betreiber nicht an dem Wohl der GĂ€ste Interessiert. Wir saßen in der Hölle fest. Das Wlan ist nur tagsĂŒber gegen eine GebĂŒhr nutzbar. Ich wĂŒrde meinen grĂ¶ĂŸten Feind dort nicht hinschicken.

Tetamanu Village is a place to go if you want a one of a kind diving experience. The “wall of sharks” is spectacular! All the staff are warm and friendly. The accommodations are what I would describe as rustic. No hot water, but not uncomfortably cold water from the shower. Each bungalow has its own private deck overlooking the very shallow ocean water, that you can snorkel directly from. You won’t go hungry, the food is plentiful at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, served family style. I suggest bringing good silicone earplugs, the roosters make noise all night long.

Die Mitarbeiter*innen waren alle ausnehmend freundlich. Das Essen erinnert an Jugendherbergsaufenthalte: zwar frisch zubereitet aber wenig abwechslungsreich und vorallem nicht ausreichend - wenn man nicht pĂŒnktlich zum Essen in der Schlange stand, riskiert man ausser Reis/ Nudeln nichts mehr zu bekommen. Mein Zimmer/ mein Bungalow wurde in den 6 Tagen, die ich da war nicht ein einziges Mal gereinigt/ gefegt, der Papierkorb nicht ausgewechselt und ein frisches Handtuch bekam ich erst nach 4 Tagen, als ich angefragt habe. Aber viel schlimmer waren die Ratten: Nachts tobten sie sich mit dem Inhalt des MĂŒlleimers aus (ich hatte KEIN Essen im Bungalow) - zum GlĂŒck hatte ich alle meine Sachen in den verschlossenen Reisesachen gelassen - nagten meine FlipFlops an und in einer Nacht wurde ich davon geweckt, dass zumindest eine Ratte in meinem Bett auf meinem Kopf rumkletterte. Was fĂŒr ein Alptraum. Leider war die Reaktion des Besitzers nicht sonderlich ĂŒberrascht oder geschockt. Mir scheint auch nicht, dass der EigentĂŒmer besondere Massnahmen in die Wegeleiten wird, um diese unschönen ZustĂ€nde zu verbessern. Ich persönlich wĂŒrde einen Aufenthalt in SĂŒd Fakarava (Tetamanu Village) nicht weiter empfehlen.

Hotel sur un site merveilleux mais malheureusement rien n'est fait pour procurer un minimum de confort. Il semble que le proprietaire veut gagner le maximum d'argent sans investir, c'est bien dommage. Nous avions reservé vue mer dans le village nous nous sommes retrouvés sur l'ile sauvage au meme prix dans des bungalows déplorables. Une nourriture trÚs médiocre (pates riz poulet et quelquefois un peu de poisson), un dessert industriel le soir. Quantités sont limites et donc tt le monde se jette sur le petit buffet, pas trÚs beau à voir. Heureusement que le site est unique et que les plongées somt magnifiques avec ses centaines de requins (ns avons plongé avec un autre dive center que celui de l'hotel).

Cadre incroyable ! Accueil trĂšs convivial du dĂ©but Ă  la fin. Sortie au sable rose magnifique, snorkeling trĂšs riche en poissons et requins, pĂȘche au fusil .... Mais le plus incroyable le baptĂȘme de plongĂ©e avec Jean qui a rendu notre sĂ©jour inoubliable ! Vraiment merci pour ces souvenirs pleins la tĂȘte !
