Absolutely amazing place! So peaceful, everything you would expect in a tropical paradise. Staff amazing, great food, beautiful weather! Once in a lifetime experience unfortunately because that is all we could afford - to go once.

This is easily the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The clarity of the water, the healthy reefs and abundance of fish is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The beach was so beautiful with pink sand and turquoise water, truly unbelievable! This was an amazing place to unwind and just enjoy nature. In the 4 days I was here I never felt bored, just at awe with everything surrounding me. Tikehau is the most beautiful place in the world in my opinion! The only reason I deducted one star is because I really couldn’t sleep. The beach bungalow is very spacious and comfortable in the day, however at night the AC would turn off on its own so I would wake up sweating. I did ask the hotel for a fan but unfortunately they didn’t have any left. Also, there are tons of huge lizards that crawl around the room, which is to be expected when everything is open air. However, as someone with an irrational fear of lizards I just couldn’t get past it and sleep peacefully! Other than that, I can’t fault the food, the staff, the service, or anything else for that matter!

we went on a family trip to French Polynesia this summer 2022 and had placed this superb hotel on stilts on our route. We hesitated with Bora Bora but really no regrets! I Bora Bora, the accommodations on stilts are very beautiful but they are all on top of each other, which takes away a little from the nature side alone in the world . Pearl Tikehau is the best hotel experience we have had to date, and yet we have done intercontinental in Bali, other Shangri-la, Hilton etc... but you will not find a better experience than this hotel. you are alone in the world on your piloti, swimming with fish all more beautiful than the other, sometimes sharks...🫣, the restaurant is delicious, you are living a real break in time! It is currently being renovated unless I am mistaken, but I recommend you with your eyes closed!

This place is stunningly beautiful. We are two families, four parents and four teenagers. We had two premium overwater bungalows and two regular bungalows for 5 nights. They were all very large and comfortable with big decks and outdoor showers. We travel fairly frequently (Australia, Europe, Caribbean and Hawaii) and this is one of the most beautiful places any of us has ever seen. Tons of fish and sharks! In fact one afternoon we were feeding the sharks hamburger off the deck and there were 5 of them! The only slight drawbacks are the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms and the limited food selection. They do a great job with the food, but there is only so much variety they can offer. None of that was a real problem for us. The benefits far outweighed the slight drawbacks. If you are looking for a quite but breathtaking resort, this is the one for you!

This was the most perfect place, the most perfect vacation--the best snorkeling with, clearest and warmest water, nicest people, lovely accommodations--and so what is Pearl Resorts doing? "Renovating" --doubling the size of a small place that fits its surroundings perfectly, increasing the price on one of the only affordable overwater bungalows in French Polynesia, adding an extra restaurant--why? We stayed in both a Premium Overwater Suite and a Beach Bungalow. Each was wonderful. The Overwater Suite allows water entry to fabulous snorkeling. Going to that spot from the beach is more difficult because of the rocks--you can wear water shoes, but what do you do with them when you put on your flippers? Overwater Suite is also more exposed to the wind. But it's much more private. The Beach Bungalow, while half the size of the Overwater Suite, is still plenty spacious. It only has a shower (OP has a huge soaking tub) but you can walk into the water for excellent snorkeling. Go now while you can to this perfect place before relentless capitalism kills it --the hotel closes for 2-3 years on October 3, 2023.
