Fodor's Expert Review Raira Lagon

Avatoru, Tuamotu-Gambier Islands, French Polynesia

This pension, less than a mile from the airport, also runs its own excursions to the Blue Lagoon. There are 10 small bungalows, each with private bathroom with hot water. The pension was recently renovated and has added air-conditioning. Meals, which often feature local lobster prepared with various sauces, are served in an open-sided thatched restaurant. At night it can get a bit lively—for Rangi—when local traditional entertainers sometimes perform and often invite guests up to dance as well.
