We just got home after spending two fabulous days in this small, "treehouse" paradise! We went there with our 10 year old daughter. I have wanted to visit the Marquesas for years, and I wasn't disappointed. The island is truly breathtaking and one of the most beautiful places I have ever been on the planet. The Pearl Lodge was absolutely... More

We spent five days at the Pearl Lodge on Nuku Hiva and felt the experience was very similar to the Pearl Lodge on Hiva Oa. It is a well run resort with very good food and a nice pool with a fantastic view of the entire bay. If you visit this island, this is definitely the place to stay. The... More

Quite a long walk to our bungalow (which was exactly the same decor and layout as the Hanakee Pearl Lodge on Hiva Oa) through lush, beautiful gardens. Sweeping view from the room and our deck over the bay and mountains. Sound of the sea below, and birdsong from the garden. The food was fine, but enormous portions (as we found... More

Don`t miss the Marquesas if you are visiting French Polynesia, they are spectacular and unlike the Society Islands only have some 5,000 tourists a year so are very unspoilt. We spent 5 days at this hotel and wished we had booked for a full week. Being located above the main bay, it is ideally located for a pleasant walk round... More

This was second hotel of our 3.5 wk honeymoon. Rooms are good (not very big), service is a variation. Pool is small. Only had breakfast or pool-snack there, did eat out in village (Moana Nui, 15minute walk). Bay view rooms, perfect view of the area. Flowers everywhere. Hotel adds 50% on excursions, so better book directly with a guide. Internet... More

Everything is great but: - Transfer (totally overpriced, that's a robery but not the fault of the hotel, the taxis drivers are guilty but it is real scandal anyway as you MUST go through them and they forbid any transfer set up by the hotel) - The noise of the cocks between 2am and 6 am, don't forget your equipment...

My husband and I and 8 friends spent 3 wonderful days and nights at the Nuku Hiva Pearl Lodge in September 2008. The lodge is beautifully situated, overlooking a lovely bay formed by the caldera of an extinct volcano. The small town of Taiohae is an easy walk from the hotel. The individual bungalows are roomy, well-designed, and include an... More

We stayed here for 5 nights and loved our stay. It was the swankiest place we stayed in in French Polynesia and the quality vis a vis price of the hotel is very good for French Polynesia, though drinks, food & laundry are very expensive. Staff were very welcoming and friendly as is everyone in the Marquesas. The rooms are... More
