Family hotels and homes in Tapu' amu

Outstanding location. A true gem!

In the middle of the Jungle, peaceful and quiet in stunningly beautiful surroundings and very tastefully arranged bungalows with tents. Jess & her husband are super lovely and kind & especially welcoming! Would stay there again and can recommend :)

The staff was amazing - Karine and Damien (I hope I am writing right). The cleaner was also very nice. We had local food and was amazing - breakfast and dinner. You can feel very welcomed by people in this island. There is an access to the water in front of the hotel and a very nice spot for snorkeling. You can go to a small motu by canoe, but it’s not easy work - the coral garden there is amazing, but there was some current, my legs paid the price (wounds). We also made a tour booked by the staff, it was one of the best tour of my life. You can feel how people love their island and respect the tourists and the fauna and flora.

This will end up being one of our best experiences in French Polynesia. We were thoroughly impressed with every aspect of this place, and in particular the warm hospitality from Gilles and family. We arrived in fairly late, after sunset, so were wondering what we could do for dinner since there was nothing nearby open. Fortunately, Gilles has anticipated this and provided us (free) with many of the basics – pasta, sauce, bread, cheese, eggs, papaya, juice, milk, etc. so that we could easily make our own dinner and breakfast. We were really blown away by the warm hospitality. The unit was amazing – modern, clean, and very comfortable – with AC in the living area and bedroom, great Wifi, TV, and the most comfortable reclining couch you could ever imagine. The kitchen was fully functional and we ended up cooking most of our meals there. We made use of the washing machine to give our clothes a much needed wash. As for getting around, we just used the good multi-speed bicycles provided and made a couple of trips around the island during our stay. There is a decent grocery store just 600m down the road, but to get to any snacks or restos, you need to go 3-4km in either direction. The waterfront area, just 100m down the driveway, is very well laid out and landscaped with a small beach and area for relaxing. Kayaks are available to guests to use out on the protected bay – really magical! One of the days we were there, Gilles invited us to accompany him and his son, Nathan, on a boat ride over to the Jardin de Corail, which we did. It was an amazing experience with Gilles showing us around the motus snorkelling. On the way back we did some fishing on the outer reef and had a really beautiful afternoon. Such great hospitality! As you might imagine, we rate this place extremely highly, and would definitely recommend it to other travelers. Simply amazing!

The place was beautiful and the scenery around it is lovely! The staff was also very helpful and kind.

The private island was so relaxed and had the option to be fully catered.

Located at picturesque setting with exceptional views on the ocean.
