Moorea-Maiao Mount Tohivea Hotels

"Manava Resort is an absolute dream! You feel like you've stepped straight into a fantasy world that movies are made to model. There is so much that sets them apart, but the deep level of care and kindness shows by the staff really takes Manava to level of hospitality that is unmatched. The views are absolutely breathtaking! Don't miss a sunset or sunrise. Getting straight into the ocean from a private bungalow over the water is like nothing you could put into words. The location is great. It's not far (maybe 15 mins) from the ferry terminal and taxis are easy to come by. Honestly, we never felt the need or want to leave the resort as they had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! 20/10 recommend!!"

"This was our second stay at Fare Oaoa and we couldn’t be happier. Kathy and the entire staff are absolutely wonderful & the property is beautiful. The A/C works perfectly well, you just have to have the patio door closed.. which is a smart feature. The pool was perfect and the complimentary use kayaks & snorkel gear is a wonderful touch. And don’t get me started on the breakfast…. generous portions of fresh local fruits, delicious breads & cheese, yogurts, protein variations of egg omelettes or cold cuts & always a sweet little treat to save for later. They really think of everything and take such good care of their guests. I can’t wait to return!!"

"Very helpful host. Friendly atmosphere."

"Excellent in every way!"

"Ac didn’t keep up "

"This home is absolutely gorgeous and the views are stunning. We stayed two weeks and enjoyed every minute. The home is kept very clean and is well outfitted with all you need including cooking utensils, snorkeling gear. Wifi works great. 10 stars!"

"The house was amazing! Nightly shark parades past the dock, amazing snorkeling just off the beach, great location and everything we needed for our large group. Can not say enough wonderful things about this place. My only complaint is that we have to leave. Monique and Aidan were fantastic hosts!!"

"As many other reviewers have noted, the setting is spectacular. The expectation is that such a beautiful property must surely be 5 star rated. But upon closer inspection, its luster quickly wears off. The huts are all tired, and in need of some updating. Wallpaper is peeling, and torn in places, and cleanliness is below average for any level of hotel. Perhaps most disappointing was the quality and variety of the restaurants. They were simply abysmal. Imagine a mediocre breakfast buffet for $50+! Or 2 cups of coffee for $12! Bottom line – if you’re OK with eye candy, gracious hardworking staff, but horrible dining, you’ll be happy with the property. If you want a true Hilton 5 Star experience, you won’t find it at this disappointing location"

"Lovely, helpful staff see you to this ocean side bungalow with kitchen facilities, comfortable bed and great deck where you can sit and enjoy the sight of the reef. Snorkelling right from your private beach yields coral and tropical fish from the shore. A couple of downsides: there are no staples like sugar, coffee, salt, etc in the kitchen; there is no comfortable chair so you either sit on the bed or you are upright at the table; the reception is only there for assistance for an hour or so per day."
