Moorea Beach Lodge

This is a smal, intimate , boutique hotel. Rooms are smashed but we had a bungalow facing the beach. Gorgeous! Other bungalows face the garden and actually are much cheaper but just as nice. Guests have access to a huge, well furnished living space and patio with a view of the beach. You can also use a state of art kitcnen.

property was in excellent condition and with in walking distance to several nice restaurants. snorkeling was excellent just right off the beach at property. sting rays visted us every morning. highly suggested as a alternative to the highly priced resorts.

We LOVED Moorea Beach Lodge, and honestly were bummed we had booked another property for the remainder of our trip that we couldn’t cancel, otherwise we would have changed our itinerary and stayed here our whole honeymoon!! The only reason I didn’t originally book our full honeymoon here was bc of other reviews… but once we got to the property we wished we could stay & were so sad to leave. Here is why: 1. We drove around the entire island and came to the conclusion that this is the best location on the whole island — a) because of the incredible beach and sunset view, and b) because you can literally kayak to Coco Beach, Les Tapeniers, and all the major snorkeling spots without paying for a tour (unless you want one of course, and you could bike or a short drive to get to Les Tapeniers for a tour). 2. Bikes and kayaks were free to use and we used them every day. We had a car but loved that we didn’t have to use it much to get around locally 3. The property, main house and view are absolutely breathtaking. We spent every sunset at the property There are a few things to know before you book, but knowing this is a pension and not a hotel the following things didn’t bother us: - the rooms are pretty small and don’t really have a closet space, but we didn’t care bc we spent so much time outside 😊 - the amenities are limited. 1 bottle of shampoo and shower/beach towels… we knew this going into it so it was not a big deal to us :)

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. Food trucks and a supermarket are within walking distance. The hotel has its own single or double kayaks for the guests to use and there are plenty of beautiful beaches to explore within reasonable paddling range.

Absolutely loved Moorea beach lodge and wished I could have stayed longer! Great location right on the way and close to markets and restaurants. They rent scooters and cars by the day.

BEWARE: Doors do not close properly. There are gaps between doorways and bugs can easily enter. There is also an infestation of ants! We had to request for a new room because there was a swarm of ants on the day bed that then got into our luggage. NIGHTMARE! We were given a new room and the hosts must not have checked because there was a dead gecko on the ground next to the bed with another swarm of ants all over it. It was late so my husband took care of it but there were still ants crawling all over the room. We found ourselves having to kill ants constantly. Service is top notch! Prior to check in, we received a message from the lodge to confirm check in, it was very easy to communicate with the host who is very friendly and accommodating Anything we needed was just a whatsapp message away. Breakfast here is great! Absolutely add to your stay. It's simple but the fruit plate and the juice were fantastic! Location is further from many of the places we ended up going to -- taxi can be expensive so I recommend getting a rental car. However, there were 2 restaurants just walking distance to the lodge that were fantastic recommendations! Also close to markets and pharmacy.

Our stay was nice. The resort is on a beautiful piece of property and is well maintained. The beachfront is the draw with nice sand (not rocky) and a gentle slope into the ocean - good for snorkeling and swimming. They have kayaks and bicycles available for guests to use. They also have a common kitchen available to use from 11 am to 11 pm. However, the bungalows are very small; a bathroom and bed, no table to sit or any additional space - basically its a bedroom with attached bathroom. So, if you need more space or want a coffee maker or microwave in your room, this isn't the place for you. It's located close to town, you can walk to restaurants and shops (1/4 mile). Lots of upsides... Downsides, neighboring dogs barking, because its close to town - street noise (motorcycles and trucks). It's serene within its walls, but they can't control the neighboring noises. AC in bungalows is only adequate, but not really cold. If you rent a motorcycle or car, they have a gate that you have to get out and punch in the code to open. The problem isnt so much the inconvenience of getting out to walk over to punch in a code, but the gate is so close to the street, you have to wait on the road, while you get out, key in the code and wait for the gate to slowly open, all the while your hoping traffic sees you and doesnt ram into you while your parked on the street (really not well thought through where they positioned the gate). Overall, we would stay there again, mainly for the beach.
