Tahiti: Moorea hotel
Hotel Les Tipaniers, BP 1002, Haapiti, Moorea, French Polynesia; (689) 561-267, www.lestipaniers.com. “Friendly, small French hotel feels like a throwback to small American resort hotels of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Sandy white beach fronts a lagoon with water so clear you can see dozens of tropical fish just by wading in. Simple rooms. Free outriggers, bicycles, Ping-Pong; snorkels available. Food at the hotel restaurant is better than at many stateside French bistros.” Double rooms start at $70.
