They also have full kitchens so you can save a bit on food costs then.
As for costs, yes, they are high but there are some less expensive places if you don't need to stay in above water bungalows. The market in Papeete has some less expensive food options and in the harbour they have basically food trucks. If you're focused just on restaurants it is high dollar for the most part.
Getting around, the bus system is pretty easy and inexpensive. Having a bit of French language ability goes a long way to making it easier to get around.
Let me know where you're staying and I'll give some more suggestions.

Yeah, everything is booked, but thats interesting information which is pretty much what I'm after. Where I's staying is linked in my above post. The 'over the water bungalow' was pretty much a mandatory requirement from both of us. It follows with the aspect of 'once-in-a-lifetime' trip.
Who knows, maybe if we're blown away we'll be back, but we cant plan for that right now so we want this trip to be something amazing.
We're not looking to penny-pinch on this trip, but I'm not looking to be a complete sucker either. So, food is something we'll have to keep our eyes on, and thats good to know.
I also want to know what to see and where to go. What attractions there are and things you just cant miss.
