Afareaitu Vacations from $4,008

We stayed for 7 nights in a deluxe garden bungalow. The bungalow itself was spacious, private, and having our own pool was awesome. What made our stay special was the amazing staff, at all restaurants, and especially the pool/beach area. They took care of us and we befriended a few of them by the end of the trip! Pierre, Jacques, and I believe Tehopo was his name were all amazing. We stayed at the Hilton Tahiti prior coming to Hilton Moorea, and the Hilton Tahiti was very recently renovated, while Moorea seemed a bit older and more rustic. It could use a bit of a facelift in some areas, paint on the decks, etc. The other suggestion would be an alternative to the breakfast buffet, a cafe with breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, etc. It would be nice to have a lighter breakfast option, as the buffet is not cheap everyday. The resort is the most unique we’ve been to, the lagoon is gorgeous, and after driving around the island it seems the Hilton Moorea has the best location. Right between the two bays. Kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkelling in the lagoon (all included) was amazing. The Toatea Crepe Restaurant, which is overwater, was one of the highlights. We saw lots of sharks and other marine life. Overall, the resort could use a bit of a renovation but the scenery, location, restaurants, and staff more than make up for it, making it a special memory for us.

Reception staff was very helpful. They gave us a tour of the hotel while walking us to our room. Our over-the-water bungalow was absolutely stunning! Room and bathroom were very clean and all necessities were provided to us. It was a wonderful experience, but I wish it was a little less expensive so we could have afforded more than 1 night there.
