MOOREA BEACH LODGE

Such a wonderful stay and kind staff. I booked my trip late, and they even helped accommodate me by shuttling me to their other great property (Moorea Island Beach Hotel) for a few nights when availability wasn’t at this location. They are very near one another. The Honeymoon Suite at this location was maybe small for what some expected, but I found it cozy and charming (not small), and it opens onto a porch right on the water. Yes, you might see some lizards or bugs about at the property, but you are on a tropical island…that is where you decided to vacation and is a part of Island life. The yellow lizards are actually quite charming and harmless and are where Moorea gets it’s name (Yellow Lizard).

The lagoon is gorgeous with wonderful snorkeling, free kayaks to explore it (I was able to swim with sea turtles and manta rays by just paddling a short distance), the sunset views are astonishing as the lagoon turns into a mirror for the sky at sunset. In the mornings you can see small and harmless sharks and rays exploring the coral as you have coffee and breakfast.

I recommend a short 10 minute walk to the public beach (which was never crowded) if you want a proper swim. The coral is beautiful to explore in the lagoon, but it’s best to swim where there is a break in the coral.

There are many great restaurants nearby as well as markets where you can buy your own food if you wish to cook for yourself in the hotel’s communal kitchen. I loved the common space. It was open air and charming with wonderful views. I felt so relaxed each time I sat inside or on the porch. One of the most cozy reading spots I’ve ever enjoyed.

The best thing about staying at Moorea Beach Lodge is that it is not a resort, and I truly felt I was living on the island with its residents. I think you see a part of daily life and the culture of the island you would never see in a resort. I am always looking for a more authentic experience when I travel, and this is truly that but with the comfort of home.

Yes, not being a resort does mean staff aren’t available all day and night, but they are always there at reasonable hours to answer any questions you might have to prepare a day excursion, arrange a ride, or even make you a dinner reservation. They even leave you a contact number in case you need assistance when they are away for the evening. I have a shellfish allergy and they were even kind enough to call the restaurant and explain for me (which was above and beyond).

I have never been more relaxed in my life than enjoying a glass of wine with a book at sunset each night at this gem of a lodge in paradise.

Thank you so much to the staff!

Tout est parfait, de l'accueil à la localisation (plage superbe avec snorkeling et coucher de soleil) en passant par le succulent et copieux petit déjeuner et les chambres pleines de charme tout comme la salle de détente commune. Je recommande à 100% !!!

Un très bel endroit au calme, en bord de mer, face au lagon particulièrement beau au coucher du soleil. Les bungalows sont confortables avec une bonne literie. Ce n'est pas trop grand, mais le rapport qualité prix est bon. Le service est particulièrement agréable avec des personnes très gentilles. Cuisine commune, mise à disposition de canoés pour aller observer les tortues, raies et requins pointe noire. L'eau est parfaitement transparente. Un vrai petit coin de paradis. Petit déjeuner correct.

Un séjour de rêve dans un endroit de rêve. Un lodge situé à proximité de toute activité (jet-ski, montagne magique) et restaurants.

Nous avons adorés passer notre week-end ici. La chambre était propre, et était située juste en face de la plage. Nous avons pris la formule petit déjeuner à 2500frs et c’était excellent. Le service était rapide.

Je recommande ????????

Très bel établissement avec du personnel très sympathique et disponible.
