Independent Moorea-Maiao hotels

"We loved the luxury of the overwater bungalow and the excellent poolside and beach service, especially by Tapu and Pierre. Our housekeeping staff arrived regularly and kept our room immaculate.The lagoon water was pristine, especially for morning snorkeling, with tons of fish including sharks! We also enjoyed the buffet dinner and Polynesian show. We had an unforgettable week. "

"Reception staff was very helpful. They gave us a tour of the hotel while walking us to our room. Our over-the-water bungalow was absolutely stunning! Room and bathroom were very clean and all necessities were provided to us. It was a wonderful experience, but I wish it was a little less expensive so we could have afforded more than 1 night there."

"Beautiful place, welcoming, and had everything"

"Everything was great. The room was so beautiful. Everything is clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have bikes you can borrow for a quick run to the grocery store. We also enjoyed taking out the paddle boards. "

"Loved the location and amenities offered. Jennifer and Jenny were amazing. We will come back. "

"Truly wonderful. The staff were absolutely fantastic, who were incredibly helpful, friendly and kind. The ocean and mountain view from our room was amazing. We also loved the size of the enormous balcony to relax and the spaciousness of the apartment."

"Beautiful location! Comfortable room. Breakfast, lunch, dinner available on site."

"If you love a tropical feel this is the place for you. There are plants EVERYWHERE! We loved it! There are so many places to sit and relax and they are all so interesting. This hotel is filled with charm! Every time I went into one of the public spaces I would see something I hadn't seen before. This is way better than an over the water bungalow! You walk only steps to the water and can jump into a beautiful Lagoon. The owner is a lovely French woman who will take care of your every need and want! If she recommends something, do it! She knows the different vendors and restaurants and she is always right on! If you are looking for a slightly different, very personal place in Moorea this is it. We were here for 6 days and they were all fabulous. The staff is wonderful and will not have to lift a finger. Your bags will be taken to your room from your car or taxi and then back again at the end of your stay. Tours will be booked for you, taxies will be called, and you just need to enjoy the beautiful surroundings! The rooms were cleaned to perfection and the oils, lotions and soaps provided were absolutely wonderful! We had the most memorable time at the Fenua Mata'i'oa!"

"Very nice clean and cozy property with small kitchen that we didn't use and washer/dryer. I would carry detergent sheets or tablets if you plan to do laundry. There Sunset views were incredible. The shower left there while bathroom wet as it is not well designed but it meet our needs and didn't take away from this being a great stay."
