Guest Reviews

Debora (10/5): - Struttura molto bella, personale gentile e disponibile. Cibo eccellente! L’unica nota negativa sono le gabbie per gli uccelli😢
Charles-Alexis (2/5): Money Lost, No Stay, No Response from the Resort - We had a reservation at Ninamu Resort from June 29 to July 2, 2025. An airline strike on the very day of our flight to Tikehau prevented us from getting to the island. Already in Tahiti, we had to pay for last-minute accommodation on top of losing our booking. We contacted the resort immediately. An employee advised us to go through Hotels.com, which later refused the refund. Since then, we have reached out directly to the resort multiple times with no response. No service provided, no follow-up, no respect. Very disappointing for a place with such a reputation. We hope this review will finally get someone to contact us.
Ben (10/5): - We were so fortunate to spend our honeymoon at Ninamu — it truly felt like paradise. With only 10 bungalows on the entire island, the resort feels like you have rented a private island! Chris, the owner, is amazing. He personally purchased the island and built the resort by hand. His passion is visible everywhere, from the beautifully designed spaces to the coral-covered walls that add unique character. Heava, our waitress and bartender, made our stay extra special with her kindness and welcoming spirit. Chef cooked us some of the most incredible meals — we ate fresh-caught fish twice a day and have never felt better while traveling! The lagoon surrounding the island is stunning—crystal clear and with vibrant fish and blacktip reef sharks. Snorkeling here felt like exploring a private aquarium!
Scott (10/5): - Everything about this resort is exceptional. We were warmly greeted and given a tour on arrival by Cheffy who made us feel immediately relaxed and at home. Our bungalow was absolutely charming and just steps to the beach. We loved the open air sleeping area on the top floor - the sea breezes and sounds of the surf were magical. The food was fantastic - every meal fresh, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Cheffy is an incredibly talented chef as well as a wonderful host. The food was so good that every meal we had after leaving there was met with a disappointed sigh and a wish that we were back at Ninamu. The lovely Hieva was a terrific waitress and always had a warm welcome and smile. We enjoyed great snorkeling and kayaking with all equipment provided as well. We left completely relaxed and rejuvenated filled with fond memories of this little slice of paradise.
petra (10/5): - everything in this resort is just amazing! Cheffy is the best cook, Heava the nicest waitress you can imagine, and the property is just heaven! We got upgrade to Vinnie bungalow, and it was just perfect! it was our second stay in French Polynesia and so far it was the best resort we stayed in. definitely recommended to everyone's and I hope we will be back!
andre (10/5): Merveilleux séjour à tikehau - Excellent accueil de la part de jean François le manager et son équipe Nous avons vraiment apprécié le cadre du ninamu les activités proposées le charme du lieu C est un endroit unique
Nicole (10/5): - Staff was lovely, excursion was fun, good good, gorgeous place!
Juliana (2/5): - WATCH OUT! Super bad vibes and super sneaky… If you didn’t make it early for breakfast it would run out… no fruits no jams no cheeses no breads…. And if you made it late to breakfast they wouldn’t even make you eggs although you payed for it because it’s included… also I mistakenly put only one person when I reserved and payed through Expedia..: DONT make that mistake because once there the extra rate they charge per person per night is way higher then the price in Expedia… I was charged 1500$ for three nights wen Expedia price for my specific room was 306$ and added the other person would literally just be 1000$ I told her she didn’t care when I asked I shared my strange experience to my dive guide he told me horrible stories of previous clientes being mistreated… and multiple complaints… example a lady finding RATS nest in the room and instead of being given option to change room the lady said well this is the jungle what do you expect so she said look my younger daughter and I will change hotel tomorrow she said okay but NO REFUND! For me personally she screamed SHHH as I was trying to ask why she was over charging and telling her that she should have let us pay from the start when we said but she INSISTED we pay in the end… obviously because she knew she would be overcharging and in the end there is not much to be done but if from the start we had known we would have just fixed the reservation on Expedia and payed online the normal rate… I DONT RECOMEND this place at all
Susan (10/5): - First, Ninamu is a tiny Palm covered islet , situated in the most beautiful aqua water anywhere - that alone is worth the trip. The resort itself has 11 bungalows - each hand-built, and each different. You can hang out and snorkel there or go on excursions to see many’s rays, coral gardens or the Blue Lagoon. All food is provided and it is good. Cheffy is a real French chef, and comes up with terrific fish and desserts. The staff are all friendly and helpful. There is even a resident dog, Coleman, who makes it his business to meet all the guests and check out opportunities for belly rubs.
Dimitri (10/5): - Very unique property with very thoughtfully and distinctively designed bungalows nested on a small private island with friendly sharks snorkelling with you every day. Very attentive and professional crew running your experience.
Florian (10/5): - 2 nuits et 3 jours entiers parfaits sur le motu. Personnel hyper sympa ce qui rend le moment convivial. Les activités proposées par l’hôtel sont top. Le chef de cuisine est top. Un vrai bonheur. Je recommande vivement.
Paul (10/5): - This was an amazing place!!! The staff was absolutely outstanding - super friendly and helpful. The food was first rate! The island is truly paradise on earth. We loved the excursions, the snorkeling was fantastic and the beaches were beautiful. Our bungalow was just perfect - and they did a great job cleaning every day. We had a fantastic time! Thank you Ninamu for an experience we will never forget!!!!
DOMINIQUE (10/5): - le paradis
Emilie (8/5): - Endroit idyllique, le lieu est juste splendide Le personnel est dispo et souriant Niveau point négatif les repas, mise à part le petit déjeuner, le repas du midi et du soir sont souvent similaires et peu travaillé
Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic spot - The stay was fantastic! Location was lovely, nice bungalow, good food and very nice staff! Special thanks to Thomas for amazing service, help finding gear, tours, tips etc.
JEROME (8/5): - L'hébergement est situé sur un motu privé, dirigé par Chris, un Australien qui parle français, et son adorable staffie Coleman. Le personnel est très agréable, notamment Bachou (pardon pour l'orthographe). L'eau autour du motu est très belle. Les kayaks sont prêtés gratuitement. Des excursions sont organisées en fonction de la météo. Le petit-déjeuner, le déjeuner et le dîner sont compris. Au petit-déjeuner, on a des viennoiseries, des yaourts, du thé, du café, du cacao, des fruits, du fromage, des pancakes, de la charcuterie, du nutella, des jus, de la confiture et on peut commander des œufs. Au déjeuner et au dîner, il n'y a pas le choix, sauf si vous avez un régime particulier ou des allergies et que vous prévenez avant. Au déjeuner, c'est plat et dessert. Au dîner, c'est entrée, plat et dessert. C'est très bon. Ce n'est pas très copieux, mais suffisant. Dans les pièces communes, il y a un billard, un vélo elliptique, un vélo d'appartement, une table de ping pong, des boules de pétanque, et une bibliothèque. Le wifi est uniquement présent dans les parties communes. Pour des raisons de prix, nous avions pris le petit bungalow de 18 mètres carrés. La moustiquaire est un peu vieille, il y a des trous. Pour éloigner les moustiques, le personnel met à disposition de l'encens assez efficace. La douche est visuellement très sympathique. Mais le débit est faible. C'est l'eau de pluie traitée qui est utilisée. La porte du bungalow ne se ferme pas à clé. Mais ce n'était pas gênant.
Lucy (10/5): - Very remote and quiet
JOHN (6/5): - hello friends: Hope you are all well.. first, I wanted to congratulate Laeticia for her great energy and always with a smile. She is a nice manager there...we appreciated her 🙂. I also congratulate the owner for the walls and ceilings with the shells. This was amazing. TEAHUPOO.jpg We had a good stay overall. Just wanted to point out something. This message is for Chris, the owner, to see what he thinks. As you may know we traveled due to our silver wedding anniversary and reason why I booked your most expensive room, and I booked it specifically due to the big jacuzzi (I knew you did not have hot water there, but still wanted to be there relaxing). As I say, it was because of this I booked the room and hoped to spend afternoons there relaxing and having the romantic time anticipated. NOWHERE on the site or emails or during reservation was it mentioned that it could occur (in summer or whatever) that there was a possibility that the jacuzzi was not available due to lack of rain or water. I understand nature happens but this should be very clear at time of booking that this is a possibility that the jacuzzi may not be used if it has not rained, or depending on the months, etc etc. Then I could have opted for another type of room (less costly) or another resort. Since the jacuzzi was not available for use I had to leave a day earlier and spend an extra 900 at a beach bungalow at the Pearl, so we can have better romantic set up etc. Since the tub was
Cindy (10/5): - Lovely Robinson Crusoe-type bungalow on the sea with harmless baby black tip sharks swimming in the shallows in front of our room. The whole resort is a work of art.
Katie (10/5): - Ninamu is a paradise! We spent five nights here with four adults and one kid (3 yo). The grounds are beautiful, the bungalows are uniquely designed (though some don't have AC fyi), the food is absolutely delicious, the staff are friendly and helpful, and there is plenty to do. We went out on an excursion nearly every day and still had plenty of time to relax on the beach and snorkel right out front of the resort. There are plenty of watercraft available to explore the island and surrounding waters (kayaks, SUPs, snorkel gear) and lovely beach-side bungalows in case you need some shade. Our favorite excursion was the coral garden, but we also enjoyed swimming with the manta rays and snorkeling in "the pass." The bungalows are clean, comfortable, and airy. The staff are great about providing anti-mosquito inscents (those coils you burn), which did help with the mosquitoes. Do bring bug-spray! We loved the food. Plenty of fresh fish prepared many different ways and scrumptious desserts. The chef kindly made separate, simple dinners for our young one who doesn't have a very adventurous palate. He also made me a delicious cake for my birthday! The only hiccup was some confusion around booking the larger room, and this was probably my fault. The price is based on the number of people and the type of bungalow you want. We got it all sorted out on the island, so it was no big deal. Also, a coconut crab stole one of my daughter's water shoes - don't leave lightweight shoes outside!
mary (10/5): - Awesome low key resort for relaxing and anything water related.
Anne-Sophie (10/5): Séjour extra au Ninamu Resort - Séjour magnifique dans un petit coin de paradis, un motu privé (pas d’autres personnes que celles liées a l’hôtel). Les bungalows sont très confortables (literie super), et propres. Le chef cuisinier était extra! Quelques excursions proposées par l’hôtel en direct (pas tous les jours en revanche). Staff accueillant. On recommande vivement. Conseils d’amélioration pour être encore plus exceptionnel: rajouter quelques équipements (fils pour étendre les serviettes dans certains bungalows, mouchoirs, petit réfrigérateur)
laure (10/5): Un petit paradis - Un motu merveilleux, des gens adorables, l'impression de vivre dans un endroit unique, et en plus une cuisine délicieuse
Sadigatou (10/5): Unique magical experience! - The bungalows are very nice and hand made by Chris the owner. You won’t find anything like it elsewhere. We stayed in 2-story bungalow (the Tamanu) and it holds 4 bed that are comfortable. The food is excellent! Chef Jean-Francois has a very unique cooking style and he surprises you every day! The breakfast is even better! He makes you those delicious eggs and french pastries which are as tasty as they are back home in France. The hospitality is amazing! Claire and Mana work really hard everyday to make your experience comfortable and memorable. They are also very humble and always up to show you great stuffs! There are plenty of fish and black tips sharks along the island and we also had the pleasure to swim along the great mantas rays! The activités with this resort are really affordable so did a few! I highly recommend this spot! Thank you all!
Verified traveler (8/5): Mitigé - Très beau site, ambiance internationale loin du "fun" polynesien... Bungalows beaux confortables et bien équipés ( même s'il a fallu attendre que Chris soit là pour utiliser le jaccusi) . Mélanie a fait tout son possible pour rendre notre séjour agréable, merci à elle! Mais portions au restaurant vraiment trop limitées, "all inclusive" mais sans les boissons, autant dire que ce n'est pas vraiment all inclusive... Excursions sur un beau petit voilier mais aucune collation proposée à part de l'eau, et une fois qu'on est installés on n'a plus la possibilité de bouger... Ainsi, globalement, le rapport qualité prix n'est pas au rendez-vous, c'est dommage... Le matériel de voile, de ping pong mis à disposition n'est pas en très bon état. Pendant les sorties mais aussi sur le motu, le shark feeding pose vraiment question, il est d'ailleurs interdit en Polynésie... Bref, expérience mitigée... Nous sommes contents d'y être allés mais nous n'y reviendrons pas...
Verified traveler (10/5): Incroyable d authenticité - Magnifique séjour Chris hyper attentionné et des sorties de qualités !!!! Merci pour ce séjour inoubliable. Le confort des bungalows est très très appréciable. Cuisine super super bonne et fraîche
Scotti (10/5): Good people, great tropical island stay - Perfect Pacific Island getaway. Lovingly built eco bungalows, each one unique. The good was the best i had in all of French Polynesia. Was exactly what I was hoping for. One small note, they don’t provide conditioner or lotion so if you are partial to yours, you’ll want to pack those along. Thanks for the epic stay!
Zeynep (4/5): - Nice people and location but horrible rooms with no choice of food The standard rooms (around 550$/night) were very pricy for their quality. They are open, so attract all the bugs and mosquitos. There is a mosquito net around the bed but it has openings. The net was dirty and filled with bug carcass stains. I got pretty disgusted sleeping with it touching all over me, it has solid structure on top so it is likely never washed. There is no AC unless you get higher price room (800$/night), and it is so hot to sleep Shower had sometimes no pressure and all the towels had stains on them Do not go to this resort if you have a dietary restriction or dont like fish. To be honest, the cook is very skilled and whatever he cooks (mostly flish) tasted very good. However I was not supposed to eat big fish due to high mercury levels. Altough i explained which ones i can eat, I was served fish I should not consume 3 out of 4 meals after that. We had to return the food and was served instead sliced avacado and tomato one time, or a tablespoon of leaks one other time. They refused to give me a slice of bread next to my avocado. I had to chew on salt crackers i had in my luggage to get full Good points: - Great excursions - People working there was very nice Overall if this place was a much cheaper boutique hotel, these things would be ok. But there are so many awesome places that are much cheaper with better quality around polynesia, and you get much more value for your money
Souren (10/5): Lovely stay - Lovely stay - the service was amazing, the food was delicious!
Franck (10/5): - Tout simplement incroyable expérience! Un grand merci aux capitaines pour les activités quotidiennes!
Dubus (10/5): - In the middle of nowhere, the hotel succeeds to deliver very good services.... Specially the food is amazing... a bright Chef who is very passionate about cooking local products... with a zest of French cuisine!
Verified traveler (10/5): - The entire property was unique and was really well organized
MILENA (10/5): Incrível! Voltaria todas as vezes! - É um lugar muito perfeito: Rústico, simples e exclusivo, na medida certa! Ideal para quem gosta de mar, tranquilidade e de ser bem tratado! Todos são ótimos anfitriões, inclusive os cachorros fofos! As comidas e drinks, então... Nem se fala! Excepcionais... Acho que só seria melhor, se eu tivesse ficado por mais tempo! Apaixonada! É como nas fotos!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Ninamu is absolutely unique in French Polynesia! It is a private island, so you have the entire island for yourself, which creates a very special feel already. The best thing about it however is the staff and the owners, which are absolutely magnificent. The chef is amazing and prepared daily the best food we had during our stay in FP! The bartender is super and makes amazing cocktails and the owner, Chris, is very friendly and helpful and just a joy to spend time with. It's very hard to describe in words the feeling that you have at Ninamu. You really just have to go and visit!
Dorthe (10/5): - Dejligt all inclusive resort med 8 hytter med enten havudsigt eller “jungle” på en lille Motu med pink sand og turkis blåt vand. Dejlige veltilberedte måltider med 3 retter til middag og aften. Daglige bådture og lufthavns transport inkluderet i prisen. Af drikkevarer er kun vand og kaffe om morgenen inkluderet. Ingen aircondition men myggenet og ventilator. Mange myg. Kun wifi i receptionen.
Verified traveler (10/5): Robinson de luxe - Christophe et tout le personnel sont sympas ; ils font tout pour rendre le séjour agréable Compte tenu des 8 bungalow et du fait d'être sur un motif isolé, c'est hyper reposant Le snorkelling est génial
Verified traveler (8/5): Einfach aber paradiesisch - Gartenbungalow ist sehr klein und einfach. Ninamu-Team bietet einen super Service (Ausflüge, z.B. Schnorcheln mit Mantas, Kayakfahren). Absolut super Essen
Verified traveler (10/5): Slice of Paradise for Active Adventurers - If you love natural beauty and adventure, and aren’t looking for a five star hotel, look no further. Ninamu is located in one of the most beautiful places on earth on its own private island. There are 8 custom built tree houses on the island, a common area where meals are served, and a shed with lots of toys at your disposal, including stand up paddle boards and kayaks. Each day the resort offers to take guests out on an adventure, which might be snorkeling, visiting a lagoon, or a local farm. These activities are included in what you pay, and 3 meals a day are also included. There are certain things that cost extra, such as deep sea fishing, scuba diving, and drinks at the bar. Some of my favorite memories were formed at Ninamu (such as snorkeling with massive manta rays and a pod of dolphins) and it will always hold a special place in my heart. This said, if you are looking for luxury or to be waited on, Ninamu is probably not for you, as the accommodations are not luxurious (there is no air conditioning, most of the bungalows are open air, and some things could use an update and/or repairs, such as the well worn stand up paddle boards) and service can be hit or miss.
Alexandra (10/5): Paradise! - Es un auténtico paraíso. El hotel está situado en una isla pequeña en la que no hay más que los 8 bungalows que componen el hotel. Las zonas de estar están frente al mar muy cómodas y decoradas con mucho estilo. El precio incluye excursiones con la barca que te llevan a hacer snorkel y a nadar con mantas y tiburones. También incluye desayuno, comida y cena por parte del chef Jean-Francoise que siempre te logra sorprender con comida exquisita. En resumen un hotel elegante y exclusivo con servicio excepcional en una isla paradisíaca.
Verified traveler (2/5): Lovely Location but Disappointing Activities - The hotel was fine, with the pros being fine food prepped by a French Chef, lovely location, the major cons being very disappointing, repetitive activities and uneven service levels. The hotel bills itself as being a place for activities, but this seems a bit of a misnomer when two of the three days we were offered the exact same activity. Only on one day was there a real effort to provide unique and interesting activities. This aspect of the stay was very disappointing given the price point of the resort. Perhaps the marketing of activities as part of the stay should be deemphasized by the hotel in its write ups or it should improve the quality of its offerings. The location and food are still quite nice, but sadly the activities were lacking given the prior build up of this in hotel ads etc. prior to our arrival.
Verified traveler (8/5): Pacific getaway - Ninamu is a place for ocean people who want to avoid the crowd and experience some of the best snorkeling in the world. It is on an island about a quarter mile way from the end of the village on Tikehau. No dead coral here, so many kinds and colors of fish beggar description. Bungalows are made of native materials and hidden away in a lush jungle setting. No dress code, no closets. Clothes are hung on the many branches and coral protuberances available. Bottled water for drinking is available in the lobby. Since Ninamu is operated a a nature preserve, insect repellent is necessary. I recommend DEET. Beaches are sand to the water's edge, but then become small coral fragments, so full foot beach shoes are a must. the resort has some but not all sizes. Wi-fi is available off and on, but slow. Excursions are planned everyday and announced at breakfast. Manta rays, Bird Island, snorkeling, Blue lagoon, etc. Guests usually eat together and produce some great conversations. Service is above reproach, needs are addressed immediately. We mentioned that we'd like to see a coconut crab at some point. Noah ran off and came back with one to admire and photograph. Fish is prevalent for lunch and dinner and expertly prepared, and if prepared by Jean Francois (Cheffie) you are having the very best. Chris the manger says he came to the island with just a chainsaw and bulldozer and made it what it is today. "one call does it all" for sure. Kind and feisty Greta is his helpmate.
Cheryl (10/5): Challenging but so worth it! - The isolated tropical island is not for everyone. The UV is severe, the beaches are hard coral and mosquitoes are common. Because of that you are more likely to meet likeminded people who are perfect to share the experience with. Ninamu is a special place. I spent 9 days with the best people I've met in years. A perfect compromise between Polynesian lifestyle and "chain hotel" comfort. Never bored and the serenity revived my inner strength.
Margo Polo :) (10/5): Feeling singled out - for a good reason - I had a wonderful time at the Ninamu Resort. I felt welcome from the moment I was picked up at the airport to the sent off three days later. I was the only guest during my stay, but the couple who was in charge always made sure that I was being offered the free excursions that came as part of the booking (a trip to the organic farm, the bird island, the manta ray cleaning station, kayaking, snorkeling, etc) . I even was offered individualized yoga instructions :) How would you feel if you have an awesome cook asking what type of food you want and cooked up the most delicious dishes - breakfast, lunch and dinner :) The maintenance staff on the island was professional and respectful of my privacy - well, I had about half of the island all to myself - really!!!! Housekeeping was done daily when I was busy doing all kinds of explorations (see above). I cannot emphasize how much I enjoyed my stay there. Truly, Robinson Crusoe in STYLE.
Suzanne (10/5): Fantasy Island - From moment the small plane arrives until it leaves, Ninamu Resort is magical. The main building and 6 bungalows are made of coral, wood and woven palm with whimsical art work and comfortable furnishings. The island is small enough to walk or swim around but has a variety of woods and beach to walk around. And the staff is kind, helpful and fun. Great food too.
