ニナミュ・リゾート(Ninamu Resort)

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.

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

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.

Very remote and quiet

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!

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!

Awesome low key resort for relaxing and anything water related.

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.

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)
