Why French Polynesia

Reasons to choose French Polynesia:

Overwater bungalow accommodations, consistent weather, access to all kinds of watersports, beautiful scenery, and a bit of French flair mixed in with Polynesian hospitality. One of the best places to be dropped off for an all day picnic on an uninhabited islet. Overall a very romantic, beautiful place.

Reasons to choose someplace else over French Polynesia:

7.5 hour flight from LA, if you like a cosmopolitan buzz, if you'd rather not see other honeymooners, or if you are not beach or water sport people.
