The staff here were very helpful, they spoke French and English and were able to grant us an early check in which we had requested in advance. We stayed in the Garden Bungalow which had 2 double beds (1 upstairs 1 downstairs), a small kitchen, living room and bathroom. It was just the right size for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). We had a rented a car, since it was about a 45 minute drive from the Moorea Ferry Terminal and public transportation is scarce. Since there was a kitchen it saved a lot of money to cook there. We made sure to stop off at the Champion Grocery near the Ferry before heading over. It is also possible to walk to some local hotels to eat in their restaurants but only with a reservation. The best part about this hotel is the location on arguably one of the best beaches in Moorea. It took about 5 minutes to walk to the beach from our bungalow but the beach is stunning. It is possible to snorkel off the dock and in front of the hotel Les Tipaniers and see a lot of tropical fish. Les Tipaniers also rents kayaks and small motor boats that you can take to the outer motus. The cost of the kayaks were around $10 USD per hour and $50 per hour for a motor boat. The sand is soft and white and no need for water shoes. In our bungalow it was really nice to have the washer/dryer and although all the settings were in French we figured it out. The downstairs bedroom has good A/C and the upstairs had a fan so we were not too hot. The loungers and outside table/chairs made for some nice meals outside. The price was excellent.

This property is wonderful, this is our second stay here and we will definitely return. The rooms are clean and tidy they have all the necessary cutlery and cooking utensils you need. If you catch a taxi from the ferry the cost is about $60usd lots of taxis outside the terminal. There are 2 shops nearby where you can get groceries and also buy ready made baguettes sushi, raw fish on Sundays they had hot chickens etc and plenty of restaurants within a short 10-15 min walk. If you walk at night be aware it is dark and no lights but we just kept our lights on our phones so the traffic could see us. There is also very little traffic and they drive slow. Beach access is about 1 min from the rooms and the beach is absolutely stunning. The sunsets are stunning and there is a bar on the beach you can get cocktail or beer and sit on the beach and watch. We hired a boat from the beach for 5 hours ( you do not need a boat license) and did our own snorkeling tour and had a picnic at the motu-it’s also very close to the sharks and stingrays and you can boat or kayak out in the afternoon and miss the tourists. Coco beach boat also picks up and drops off at this beach. Overall stay here was fabulous- if you are expecting a 5 star resort then you will be disappointed but if you would like comfortable clean accommodation with great location to snorkeling spots and a beautiful beach then this is your place.

This was a beautiful place and our apartment was about three minutes walk to the beach. There is a lot of tropical vegetation and well-kept trees on the property. We loved watching the sunset and sunrise every day. We even observed the night sky from the beach one night, though it was partly obscured by clouds. There is a long pier from which you can watch very interesting fish and even small sharks. The apartments upstairs have a lovely large porch with a six person glass table and two lounge chairs. The bathroom had some nice decorative details and the whole apartment was clean and white. We didn't have a car here and were able to walk to a grocery store and other places. A hotel serving dinner is nearby.

Great location, just as pictured. Staff were very friendly. There’s a choice of two small grocery stores with 10-15 minute walk, one to the left of the main entrance and one to the right. One on the left had a larger selection. Across the street is a new art gallery, cafe, bar that is very nice. We chose not to rent a car, spent the week soaking up the quiet and relaxation of the beach lagoon. Swam and snorkeled off the beach. There seemed to be plenty of activity options available for those that wanted to do more. We arrange transfers to and from ferry through Moorea Mahana Tours. They were reliable and provided good service. Felt safe in the whole area. Beachside bungalows had roll down doors over the patio which was great for added security but also allowed for us to leave without having to close up the slider doors as the roller doors allowed a small breeze to still come through while being secure when out. This definitely made our will return list

Let's get something clear from the start: you can't see the sunset from this hotel. And none of the rooms are on the beach. There is beach ACCESS (a short stroll). But if you are picking looking out your window and seeing and hearing the ocean in the pictures here, you're in the wrong place. You can't. I'd only recommend this place for budget-minded travelers that have access to a rental car and want to cook at home. Otherwise, it barely qualifies as a "hotel." There is no maid service, no on-site food/breakfast, and a reception desk that closes at 5 pm. Our room was on the second story of what Americans know as a Motel 6 style. Very basic IKEA-ish furniture. Very odd layout (referenced repeatedly here), which can be problematic (see below). The TV had one English channel (Fox News, really?!) and no directions on how to use the remote. It overlooked a "garden" that was a few trees and bushes with a dirt road thru it for cars that were going to the bungalows on the beach. Zero privacy. Rooms were clean upon arrival. Unfortunately I became ill here. So I spent the better part of two days trying desperately to get sleep. There are chickens everywhere, crowing all thru the night (not just at daybreak). I've been to other islands where chickens are commonplace, but there is zero attempt here to control them so they won't wake up guests. I slept with my noise cancelling headphones on. The next morning at 8 a.m. there was drilling right outside my window, as the hotel decided that this was the ideal time to start a repair project. Since I hadn't slept (see chickens), I called. Two hours later, they stopped and told me they were finished. But no. Again the next morning, the same exact thing. I tried to explain, politely, that I came to Moorea to relax, not to be on a farm or in the middle of a construction project. The receptionists were nice but sadly ineffective. The closest place for breakfast was at the hotel next door, which has a nice beachfront place. But it's crazy expensive ($12 for a glass of juice; $30 for a breakfast, $45-$50 for lunch). It's a hike on a dark road to anywhere else for dinner, so rent a car to be prepared to shell out big bucks for a taxi (It cost us $60 for a taxi to get here from the port). If you are going to Moorea, do yourself a favor and find a place where you can enjoy the ocean, actually see it, and not be penny=pinched.

Rented a 1st floor apartment. It was very modern and clean. The bedroom was air conditioned but rest of the apt was not. Moorea in March is hot, both by night and day, so a/c sleeping space is essential. Lack of a/c in living space did not matter too much as when I returned to the apt of an evening I spent most of my time relaxing out on the large and rather splendid balcony. The apt has all you need for pretty much everything: kitchen equipment, washing machine, etc etc. On the downside, there was a bad smell from the toilet and from the utility area which must indicate some sort of problem with the drains. There is no room safe, but there is a good lock on the door and a double lock on the balcony doors plus electric shutters, so despite what I have read in one or two reviews, I had no concerns about security during my time here. Despite sitting out on the balcony into the evening with the lights on, I was not troubled by the local insect life. The location is peaceful, the buildings being set among pleasant grounds. I was literally one minute’s stroll from the excellent beach where there is a place where you can rent kayaks etc. Unless you simply want the beach, you will need to rent a car if you stay here, but that is true generally in Moorea I think. This place is the right side of the island for easy driving to good hiking places: Rotui, Opunohu trails. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. It provides great quality self-catering lodging, at a fine location, and at a decent price.

We rented a ground floor 1 bedroom apartment. While not fancy it was very functional. Decent bed, nice bathroom (an oddity is the toilet is in a separate room near the kitchen far from shower etc). Decent size kitchen with needed pots pans, dishes, cups etc. Washer and dryer in the unit is a nice feature. Large patio that opened up to open area with interesting vegetation. Very useful patio furniture. A very short walk to beach. Good snorkeling but as water not very deep you must walk out a good distance and be careful to avoid coral. No need for flippers. No BBQ. A very quiet pleasant place to stay. We did not see any lizards and insects were not an issue for us. There are birds and a few chickens. Tips--The unit does not come with any condiments etc. so good to bring your own. Good also to bring a large zip lock bag so you can store up ice cubes from the two ice trays. Only channel in English on tv is CNN so good to down loads some movies on lap top for evening entertainment. We enjoyed our stay

I am used to staying at either hotels or AirBnBs, so I enjoyed this kind of hybrid experience. We stayed in an apartment on the ground floor which was really nice. It had a patio that was really open but also felt private. There were metal shades that came down over the sliding glass doors which felt very safe at night. The layout of the apartment was strange like others have mentioned with the toilet and small sink by the front door and kitchen and the shower with no toilet attached to the bedroom. It reminded me of the little mini display houses within IKEA stores. So strange but didn’t take anything away from the vacation. The AC was strong enough- make sure the little windows are closed in the laundry room. I brought dishwasher pods and laundry detergent sheets and a dish cloth, and hair conditioner and was glad I had. We did all our grocery shopping at Champion by the Ferry/rental car place and were able to make 2-3 meals a day in our apartment. Thanks TripAdvisor reviews! It would be nice if there were a broom and dust pan in the room. We tried not to track sand in, but inevitably… We worked with two people at the front desk, and they were both super friendly and helpful. The true highlight of this place is the quick walk to the beautiful calm beach! What a wonderful place!
