Not sure where Apoomatai Bay is located exactly, but the accomodations named after it are quite near to Motu Muri Mahora / between Mārō'ē Bay and Fareeru.
But it's the same with the czech hotel advertisment ( external link ): in a touiristic context, the pic may show leisure activities that are poßssible in the "surrounding" area, which may be quite far away.
Anyway, external link obviously shows the same place as external link - great find!
It may be Apoomatai Bay, Huahine,
Found these images that seem to match the landscape.

(1) shows the motu, which i believe is Motu Muri Mahora. I didn't find an exact match for pic (1) yet, but together with (2), localisation is clear. In the beackground, just to the left of the tent pole, there's a quite characteristic silhouette of a mountain. The same silhouette is found on many different pics, e.g.

It's Mount Mouatapu on Huahine, view from south.
OK, let's explain again:
This pic belongs to a series of five pics showing a "Motu picnic" near Huahine Island. A "motu" is a reef island surrounding an atoll. Motu picnics are offerend on different islands in French Polynesia.

The pics show the same place from different angles. As far as i see, the landscape is the only key to locate them. The two images best suited for locating the place are
I think the pic was taken at Huahine, maybe on the western shore of Motu Muri Mahora, or near Motu Topati. The best proof is a different pic of that series:

In the center, there's a mountain visible - i guess it's Mount Mouatapu on Huahine.
