Tetiaroa Vacations from $1,603

Staff generally very friendly and helpful. Location is great. Food was good. Our room was clean and comfortable.

Small but charming bungalows enclose a refreshing pool only 50ft from the beach. Owners are kind and friendly (so are their dogs) and the staff is incredibly pleasant. Expect a dominantly French-speaking clientele, an expectation of quiet and respectful conduct, and otherwise generally European sensibility. We enjoyed the simple continental breakfast, but if you’re someone who likes a big buffet of meat and eggs or wants to stay up partying around the pool then look elsewhere.

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.

We stayed in an overwater bungalow. The property shows some signs of wear but was very comfortable -- and you can't beat the location. So much fun to walk outside and drop into the water!
