Wonderful location, super quiet and very nice staff. Direct access to the lagoon with kayaks and Sups available. Breakfast included, on the beach with your feet in the water. That's where I'll go again next time. Mauruuru Roa.

There are electrical problems in this apartment. The power will constantly shut down when you turn on the water heater, and you will have to go downstairs to flip the circuit breaker when it happens. I did it so many time and it's very frustrating. The air conditioner on the dinning room has water leaking when it's on. The towls are horrible. The only thing I like is the location and parking. I would rather spend more and stay in a hotel next time.

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.

On a budget this place gets 5 stars! The location is gorgeous and the staff really friendly. The only drawback is transportation, but that's the entire island not this pensions issue. Best to rent a car or scooter for Moorea period.

The property was right on a beautiful lagoon filled with coral, fish, rays and a few small sharks. The restaurant is facing the water and is really cute and the food is great. Only a short walk away is the Moorea Hilton which has the best crepes. Kayaks and paddle boards were included in the nightly fee which was really nice.

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.

Fare Maheata is a great place run by a local family, all of whom are friendly and helpful. It provides simple comfortable accomodation with fans & aircon, full kitchen and bathroom, and everything you need for a great stay. The best part is the beautiful white sand beach on which it is located, where you eat lunch with your feet in the water (if you wish). Rays and fish swim by as you eat breakfast. It has a restaurant, open 5 days a week, and provides a simple breakfast if you want it. A great place at a very affordable price.

Fare Maheate is a great place to relax, do some swimming or snorkeling. Excursions with a separate outfit are available. Jean is offering rides to the supermarket, if needed, but meals can be ordered at the pension. The beach leads gradually into deeper water, which appeals to some swimmers. Just a great place to relax.

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.

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

We are a family of 6. 4 kids and 2 adults. We travel a lot and are happy with places that are more like a home than a resort. The location here is beautiful. The restaurant is right on a little beach with beautiful water and kayaks to use and explore. We saw a bunch of rays. The rooms were fine. The downside was the staff/owners. One brother was very sweet but there was another brother who was just plain rude. Our reservation stated 2 adults and 4 kids. I even called the hotel directly to confirm that we could sleep all 6 of us. I paid a fee to add the 2 younger children. When we got there they only had beds for 5. I asked for the 6th bed and they told me that i had only put 4 on the reservation which i told them I called to add the other 2 and that there were 6. He said yes we know thats why we put a 5th bed but we dont have a 6th. He was very rude about it. I told them not to worry about it and our youngest would just sleep with us. The older brother came about 30min later with a matress and was much more respectful and helpful. The only way to light the stove is with a match which is fine but there were no matches. When we asked for some it was a rude response about how the last guest took them so basically oh well. Then the day we left they tried to collect another 9k francs for breakfast for the 2 littles. They claimed we didnt pay for them. Not true and myself and older son didnt even eat breakfast. One son nice other very rude. Property is nice, rooms are fine.

Très bon séjour

Pension familiale bien située, au calme, les fare ont leur âge, mais sont tout à fait convenable. La petite plage avec les tables et chaise est magnifique avec pleins de petits poissons, et des raies qui passent tout près du bord. Le cadre est parfait pour se ressourcer. L'accès aux paddle et kayak est génial. Je recommande.

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.
