You get what you pay for. But the star-ranking is not comparable with accommodations in the USA. This is not a 2 1/2 star hotell. Cleanliness in the shared bathrooms and shared dormitory is way bellow a standard I am willing to accept. The bungalows are ok. The staff is very nice, they play great music. They have good food to order. The beach is fine. Kayaks are available and that was great.

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.

Great small quiet beach and covered area overlooking ocean. Rustic bungalows that are commensurate with the price. Good for budget conscious families. Our bungalow (closest to road) had a queen sized bed, set of bunk beds, and an upstairs loft that could also sleep 2 additional people. Functional kitchenette with fridge/freezer. Place had lots of open closets and storage shelves. Due to us checking in on day restaurant was closed, absolute minimum interaction with staff. Tip: the Thai take-away restaurant close by is great and best meal deals on Moorea

This is a family run pension with friendly staff, set on a picturesque private beach. The fish swim right up to the shore, there are comfortable chairs and tables on the beach and a stunning view of the sunset each night. The accomodation is basic but clean. The restaurant has wonderful platters/tapas and an excellent drink selection. You need a vehicle to access the supermarket and ATM. We would return again.

Loved every second of it. The property itself is so serene and beautiful…right on the beach. The coral right in front of the restaurant was some of the best we saw in all of Moorea, with sharks and rays and colorful reef fish just off shore. The restaurant is exceptional. The rooms are simple but clean and include a kitchen that helps to save money on meals (French Polynesia can be expensive). All of the staff were helpful and welcoming, especially the maintenance guy who helped us with all our needs. We definitely plan to return.

Do not stay in a shared dormitory
Only stay here if you are truly on a budget and want to share everything with other guests. The shared dormitory is full with mosquitoes, has no air conditioning. Their bookings are non refundable for a reason. The property had a nice view though.
