Fodor's Expert Review Pension Vainui Perles

Motu Marakorako, Motu Marakorako, Tuamotu-Gambier Islands, French Polynesia

This rustic pension, previously called Vainui Pearls is set on a pink-and-white-sand beach. Just a 30-minute boat ride from the airport, it's a very quiet place. Each bungalow has two bedrooms and a private bathroom with cold water; there's a TV in a communal living room, and public dial-up Internet. The rate includes all meals, which is good as there's not a restaurant for miles.
