Choosing your island(s) is easier than you think:

Bora Bora is considered the most beautiful island in the world because of it's extraordinary lagoon and water hues, and its spectacular resorts "floating" on the turquoise water overlooking picture-perfect mount Otemanu.

Moorea is a very close second to Bora Bora because of the dramatic beauty and lushness of the island. But its lagoon is not as spectacular as in Bora Bora. However, many people also put Moorea on top of their list.

Huahine is similar to Moorea, with even more lush vegetation, but less dramatic mountains. Very quiet and more "remote" island with only 2 hotels.

Tahaa is lovely and secluded. The Le Tahaa Private Island Resort is now one of the most sought-after resort in the South Pacific because of its unrivaled location, stunning views, crystal lagoon and spectacular bungalows and amenities.

Rangiroa, Manihi and Tikehau are atolls instead of mountainous islands and offer a very different style of landscape, with a more remote and exotic feeling. This is where you will find the best snorkeling/diving.

Below are some basic guidelines:
- The length of stay in any island shouldn't be less than 2 nights, and not more than 8 nights.
- Traveling between islands is easy and fast, so you should plan on visiting more than 1 island if you stay a week or more.
- All islands/resorts are wonderful for everyone, whether on vacation, a honeymoon, or with your family.
- The weather/seasons should not be a factor in choosing your dates. It will always be warm, sunny, but rain can happen at any time.
- The Hi Season rates are from May to November as well as late December, and are arbitrarily set for the more popular travel seasons and not the weather.

In French Polynesia, hotel accommodation is 90% in individual bungalows. All the bungalows have a thatched roof and an upscale modern/Polynesian decor with natural woods and materials, a private deck and all the modern amenities. All the resorts are located on properties/beaches bordering the lagoon.

These are not "huts", but often upscale and spacious private villas. Bungalows feature king-size bed, with separate bathrooms with bath and shower, fridges, and very upscale amenities on par with similarly classed hotels anywhere in the world.  They all have a private deck with lounge chair/table.

All the bungalows also have a day-bed for a child or third person. But there are very few hotels offering accommodation for more than 3 people in 1 bungalow.

Some Beach and Garden bungalows have their own private splash pool at some resorts.

Here are the different types of rooms and bungalows, starting with the least expensive:

• Lagoon/Garden View Room or Lanai Room: located in a 2 or 3 story building with a balcony or terrace, overlooking the garden and/or the water.
• Garden Bungalow: on the property bordering the beach, but behind the Beach Bungalows. May not have a view of the water a short distance away.
• Beach or Beachfront Bungalow: at the edge of the garden, the first row of bungalows from the beach.
• Overwater Bungalow: built on stilts in the lagoon, accessed via a gangway. Often more luxuriously appointed than Beach Bungalows.
• Deep Overwater , Horizon Overwater, Premium Overwater: same layout and amenities as the Overwater, but with a better view and more privacy. Usually at the end of the walkways. These are the most expensive accommodation, from US$ 750 up to $1400 per night.

For the best information for choosing your hotels, we recommend you subscribe to the Tahiti Resort Guide.
