Set within a unique tropical garden beside the lagoon, Hôtel Fenua Mata'i'oa features a bar and an on site restaurant. Guests at this waterfront property can relax in the outdoor hot tub.

This is such a wonderful property- the years of care and personal time invested by the owner and staff are evident in every turn. Location is so convenient, but when there you feel separated from the daily life of the island enterprises. It’s a little slice of heaven on Moorea. The grounds of the hotel itself are fascinating and overflowing with tropical trees and flowers and statuary. The cats are so friendly and make it feel like home (but we love animals). The entire staff want nothing more than for you to relax and enjoy and will go out of their way to assist you with anything they can. They were all so nice and helpful and pleasant. We ordered breakfast each night and it was delivered promptly the next morning and was delicious every day. We were out exploring or doing activities most days so weren’t there much during the daytime. We had a couple nice dinners out and had delivery from Holy Moly Steakhouse one night when we wanted to stay in. So several choices for dining options in your suite or nearby depending on your schedule and preferences. We had a rental car from Avis that we picked up at the ferry port in Moorea and dropped off at the airport in Moorea which I would recommend to make it easier to get around. It was very easy to navigate around the island. But several of the restaurants and activity coordinators will gladly pick you up and drop you off at the hotel if you don’t want a car. It was a very safe location and we had a mixed crowd of guests during our stay. Solo female travelers, couples with very small children, mixed generational families (grandparents, parents, older children, etc), and some couples either honeymooning or vacationing. It was a nice mix and everyone just kind of did their own thing. It never felt crowded or too full. It was perfect.
Featuring an outdoor pool and beachfront restaurant, the tropical huts at Hotel Hibiscus are only steps from sandy white beaches.

Close to shops and restaurants, but quite a long way from the port.
Nice bungalow with deck overlooking the lagoon.
They let us check in early, the guy at the front desk was helpful and booked a tour for us which was great as most things are closed on Saturday afternoon.

The Villa Sunrise is a picture perfect Paradise stay. The room was very comfortable, the shower excellent, the air conditioning felt great, the kitchen area to make your own food had everything, the outdoor eating space made the whole experience delightful and the pool was exceptional. It's large enough to get a good swimming and also just to sit and relax plus they provided padded chaise lounge chairs. I used their kayak several times and enjoyed seeing the fish and turtles! The hosts were more than helpful and there was bread and jam served in the morning. Shops were less than a 10 minute walk away. Beautiful safe neighborhood right on the water.

We loved the snorkeling, exploring with kayaking, watching the sunrise/set and the great restaurants around the area! (Highly recommend the Italian restaurant near by)

Great boutique hotel with beautiful outdoor area. Bungalows are very nice, spacious enough though not really big. Clean and equiped with a AC and small fridge. There is an additional fridge in the kitchen for every bungalow, and you can freely take kayaks and bicycles. Snorkeling from the beach is good, plenty of tropical fish and we also saw reef sharks, green turtles and stingrays closeby. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby, but you might want to make reservations for the restaurants as they can fill up quickly, especially in the weekends.

Location is a long way from the airport and port, so best to rent a car to get around as no bus service. Hot and humid in January so not so easy to walk far.
Many people were enjoying lagoon activities.

The only thing that is frustrating coming from New Zealand, where the public has access to all beaches, is that in Moorea, like the rest of French Polynesia other than three public beaches the toilets are all locked. Also, the street lighting is not operational or turned off, so if you walk after dark, you have to do so with a torch. Also in this area, Google Maps would suggest that there are roads leading to the water side but they are mostly private and the best snorkelling areas are therefore only accessible on a tour or if you eat at the waterfront restaurant, or hire a canoe etc. Locals are friendly, and you feel safe here even after dark.

We were happy with our location in Papetoai.
we had a rental car and the shops and Restaurants are very close by.
We had a few km to drive to the public beaches, which wasn't a problem.
We recommend booking a bungalow with a kitchen for a stay longer than two or three days.

We were told by two locals there is quite a bit of petty theft. The police visited the hotel twice while we were there. You must lockup all your valuables in the safe and keep your doors locked at all times.
On the bright side there are some good reasonably priced restaurants we particularly liked La Pai Hot about 500 M from the Hotel. Great service, friendly staff and really good food.

Very relaxing and very nice staff.
Very relaxing and very nice staff. Lovely fish to observe and beautiful Lagoon. Stayed 3 nights. Perfect amount of time...they have a wonderful library to relax and read. Looks like it's out of a movie. The property is next to a few nice restaurants (we drove so was fine but would have been a little too far to walk)
Highly recommend renting a vehicle if you are staying here. Also, bring some good water footwear to explore the shallow Coral areas.
Very nice host and just super tranquil. Merci beaucoup!

We booked a garden villa with a pool. We stayed in room 50, just of the beach. The plunge pool is private but the front decking can be seen by people walking past as there is only a hedge separating it from the path. The drinks in the mini bar are complimentary which is a nice touch. The stand out feature at the hotel if the hotel reef if you enjoy snorkelling. Just wade into the perfectly calm sea of the hotel beach and you will see plenty of fish, in fact more than we saw than in the snorkelling boat tour we did.
The view of the lagoon was fantastic !! The landscaping is lush ^ lovely!! The furnishings are unique, and the room's shower & tub are magnificent!! The bed and pillows are very comfortable!! Bonus, there is a small store down the road and a restaurant very close to the hotel, so this was very helpful, to get snacks and a pre-maid meal.
We stayed in an overwater bungalow and it was amazing. We had a wonderful patch of coral just off our swim platform. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was so comfortable. The staff throughout the hotel were wonderful also.
