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 :)
