Review: Breakfast was simple but enough. Some of the best snorkeling we found across the island was off the beach of the hotel. The use of kayaks made it really fun to kayak to the nearby bay and over towards the nearby Hilton bungalows. The property has older furnishings but we didn’t plan to be in our room much and turned out we Weren’t so it worked well for us. I’d recommend renting a car or scooter if staying here to help ease with exploration of the island, by Scott

Review: This newer hotel was excellent for our three night stay on Moorea. Very clean and quiet, nice staff, and very comfortable accommodations. We had a beachfront bungalow, and really enjoyed the stocked kitchen and lovely patio. The beach is really nice, with decent snorkeling just offshore.

There is a fully furnished kitchenette with a half size fridge, cooktop, microwave, coffeemaker and kettle, and toaster. All the cookware and dishes are furnished as well. We love shopping at the local markets and preparing our own meals, so this was perfect! Bring your own coffee or tea, and seasonings.

Review: This was our first visit to Tahiti and our first stop was Moorea. This hotel is something we will always remember. The staff are the friendliest people we've ever met...Every single worker greets you with a happy Tahitian hello! They'll help you arrange anything at the front and make sure you're happy. Splurge for the Overwater bungalow... It's sooooooo worth it. The snorkeling here was the best we've ever had (and blew bora bora out of the water). Right under the bungalows are hundreds of fish...., by C W, March 13, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Clean, updated bungalows just steps from an outstanding beach. I would rather stay at the Lodge rather than the high priced hotels because of the authenticity. We were able to use the beachy, modern common area to relax, cook meals or watch the sunset. We walked to nearby hotels and saw that they were very dated, so we felt confident that we made the right decision staying at the Moorea Beach Lodge. With a gated driveway, the property was secure.
