Pension Maupiti Village

Also on the ocean side of Motu Tiapaa, this no-frills pension is one of Maupiti's most basic and least expensive. The buildings consist simply of plywood sides and tin roofs -- pretty much what you got before the advent of the more modern government-issued bungalows. Two units are individual bungalows with their own bathrooms (cold-water showers). Two rooms in a house and a dormitory all share outside toilets and cold-water showers. A white-sand beach fronts the property, but the lagoon between here and the fringing reef is too shallow for serious swimming. Owner Audine Colomes prepares meals of fresh seafood and occasionally duck, which guests eat at a long table in a beachside building. Her husband, Alain Colomes, once lived in Canada, and both he and their daughter, Raipoe, speak English as well as French.
