Hinano Api

This motel-like venture right in the centre of Uturoa has as much character as a newly paved footpath but it’s an acceptable fall-back. The 10 rooms feel quite bare but are roomy and well scrubbed, and come with air-con (add 1000 CFP). Some rooms are more luminous than others, so ask to see a few before committing. Perks include bike hire, wi-fi access, laundry service and breakfast (600 CFP).
