Fodor's Expert Review Novotel Rangiroa Lagoon Resort

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

Located halfway between the airport and Tiputa Pass, this three-star hotel has a restaurant and bar popular with divers relaxing at day's end. The garden is lovely, has a goldfish pond, and is dotted with bungalows. Ocean-view bungalows have access to a small sunbathing patch of crushed coral rather than a beach. All have queen and single beds and a separate bathroom that can be sectioned off with a sliding door.
