"Culture at Pension Tokerau Village Fakarava is full of family-run pensions (there's only one hotel on the island), one of which is the Pension Tokerau Village. When you arrive they'll greet you by putting a flower necklace over your head and kissing you once on each cheek. The accommodation itself is simple, although the beachfront access, homecooked meals and free kayaking and snorkeling are wonderful."
