The property was right on a beautiful lagoon filled with coral, fish, rays and a few small sharks. The restaurant is facing the water and is really cute and the food is great. Only a short walk away is the Moorea Hilton which has the best crepes. Kayaks and paddle boards were included in the nightly fee which was really nice.

Loved every second of it. The property itself is so serene and beautiful…right on the beach. The coral right in front of the restaurant was some of the best we saw in all of Moorea, with sharks and rays and colorful reef fish just off shore. The restaurant is exceptional. The rooms are simple but clean and include a kitchen that helps to save money on meals (French Polynesia can be expensive). All of the staff were helpful and welcoming, especially the maintenance guy who helped us with all our needs. We definitely plan to return.

Great small quiet beach and covered area overlooking ocean. Rustic bungalows that are commensurate with the price. Good for budget conscious families. Our bungalow (closest to road) had a queen sized bed, set of bunk beds, and an upstairs loft that could also sleep 2 additional people. Functional kitchenette with fridge/freezer. Place had lots of open closets and storage shelves. Due to us checking in on day restaurant was closed, absolute minimum interaction with staff. Tip: the Thai take-away restaurant close by is great and best meal deals on Moorea

We are a family of 6. 4 kids and 2 adults. We travel a lot and are happy with places that are more like a home than a resort. The location here is beautiful. The restaurant is right on a little beach with beautiful water and kayaks to use and explore. We saw a bunch of rays. The rooms were fine. The downside was the staff/owners. One brother was very sweet but there was another brother who was just plain rude. Our reservation stated 2 adults and 4 kids. I even called the hotel directly to confirm that we could sleep all 6 of us. I paid a fee to add the 2 younger children. When we got there they only had beds for 5. I asked for the 6th bed and they told me that i had only put 4 on the reservation which i told them I called to add the other 2 and that there were 6. He said yes we know thats why we put a 5th bed but we dont have a 6th. He was very rude about it. I told them not to worry about it and our youngest would just sleep with us. The older brother came about 30min later with a matress and was much more respectful and helpful. The only way to light the stove is with a match which is fine but there were no matches. When we asked for some it was a rude response about how the last guest took them so basically oh well. Then the day we left they tried to collect another 9k francs for breakfast for the 2 littles. They claimed we didnt pay for them. Not true and myself and older son didnt even eat breakfast. One son nice other very rude. Property is nice, rooms are fine.

décevant

Très déçu. J'étais venu dans cet établissement il y a quelques années, j'avais été enchanté malgré la simplicité de l'hébergement. Cette fois c'était n'importe quoi, le deuxième jour j'ai été prié de dormir au dortoir car ma chambre était louée à une personne qui allait rester une semaine (oui on fait du surbooking en accusant les centrales de réservation et en émettant même des doutes sur la véracité de ma réservation! J'ai dû fournir les preuves au propriétaire que j'ai eu au téléphone et me suis senti maltraité par ses doutes, ce monsieur ne sait sans doute pas gérer les réservations sur les différentes centrales... ) L'établissement est mal tenu également, il y a beaucoup de laisser-aller et pas d'effort pour satisfaire ses clients. Je ne détaillerais pas pour ne pas être désagréable pour les personnes sur place qui sont malgré tout gentils, mais cet établissement a beaucoup perdu! La cuisine est bonne mais il manque la moitié des plats à la carte, on le découvre une fois qu'on a passé commande. Il faut vous reprendre en mains, vous avez de l'or dans les mains et vous ne faites aucun effort pour l'exploiter correctement. Bref, je ne reviendrai pas de si tôt.

Wonderful location, super quiet and very nice staff. Direct access to the lagoon with kayaks and Sups available. Breakfast included, on the beach with your feet in the water. That's where I'll go again next time. Mauruuru Roa.

Très bon séjour

Pension familiale bien située, au calme, les fare ont leur âge, mais sont tout à fait convenable. La petite plage avec les tables et chaise est magnifique avec pleins de petits poissons, et des raies qui passent tout près du bord. Le cadre est parfait pour se ressourcer. L'accès aux paddle et kayak est génial. Je recommande.

You get what you pay for. But the star-ranking is not comparable with accommodations in the USA. This is not a 2 1/2 star hotell. Cleanliness in the shared bathrooms and shared dormitory is way bellow a standard I am willing to accept. The bungalows are ok. The staff is very nice, they play great music. They have good food to order. The beach is fine. Kayaks are available and that was great.

This is my second visit to this idyllic spot in Moorea. A family run group of budget rustic cottages on the lagoon next door to the Hilton. The onsite restaurant serves very high quality food and a simple breakfast is included. The hotel sits oceanfront on a beautiful area of the lagoon with rays, sharks and fish cruising by all day. Air conditioned rooms which is rare in Tahiti and kayaks included, good for family on a budget.

Très mauvais accueil personnel et dirigeants très désagréables. Repas au restaurant très médiocres On se demande pourquoi ils font ce métier. On a toujours l’impression de le déranger. Déjà à l’accueil, ça s’est très mal passé car ils m’ont dit que je n’avais pas de réservation à mon nom et que j’allais être en surbooking et que je devais payer une somme supplémentaire pour une chambre pour cinq qu’il restait uniquement . On se demande pourquoi Booking propose cet établissement sur le site.

This is a family run pension with friendly staff, set on a picturesque private beach. The fish swim right up to the shore, there are comfortable chairs and tables on the beach and a stunning view of the sunset each night. The accomodation is basic but clean. The restaurant has wonderful platters/tapas and an excellent drink selection. You need a vehicle to access the supermarket and ATM. We would return again.
