Find Beach Resorts in Papetō'ai

"Beautiful property, great hotel staff. The room was comfortable and the whole property is peaceful and inviting!"

"Loved everything about the property in general. The resort itself is beautiful and the view from the oceanside is breathtaking (directly across from Moorea). We saw a school of dolphins playing the first morning we arrived. The infinity pool is also beautiful. Did not like the toilet in the bedroom. It was a strange oblong/rectangle shape, too high off the ground and extremely uncomfortable. There was a sink in the toilet room that was too tiny, and the towel ring was close to the floor and toilet. Quite odd and not super sanitary. Otherwise, the room itself was very spacious and clean. Nice little kitchenette, although it was advertised there would be a "full-size" refrigerator and it was only a mini fridge. Showerhead had a lot of mineral buildup and the water did not go down the drain very quickly, leading to a lot of pooling of water on the floor. Breakfast buffet was decent (included - not sure if I would pay extra because it is the same every single day). Lots of mosquitoes...bring bug spray and itch cream! 8.5/10 would recommend."

"It was a great place for a wonderful family vacation! "

"The place was incredible. Beauty of the nature, the quality of the service and the food was very diverse and quality. The chef who was making the omelets was super friendly and he was sharing his good energy right at the beginning of the day. The snorkeling directly from our room was breathtaking, I enjoyed every second of this hotel. My partner and I saw 2 rays, 1 shark and 1 baby turtle directly at our room which added some magic. Simply the best. I can’t compare to Bora Bora but definitely the best hotel I had in my life."

"We stayed at the Princess Lokelani room. It was steps from the water. We saw a manta ray there and lots of fish. (Note that there is no actual beach as the whole island is enclosed by a coral reef). The hotel is very unique and has a stellar breakfast that they bring to your room. We loved the common area, it's very distinctive and comfortable. We borrowed canoes and found the manta and shark area ~10 mins away. There are boats and tours that travel from all over the island just to go there. The hotel is close to solid restaurants and has parking. Main drawback is mosquitos given the room is surround by greenery - come prepared."

"The coral reefs in the lagoon are amazing. So much marine life to snorkel right outside your room. Prices for drinks and food are too high, compare to the quality. "

"The small details were what gave this resort an extra star: flowers, cold gardenia scented compresses at check-in, necklaces at check-out. Great location, smaller property so everything was close, beautiful grounds and pool, great foodb& drinks. Choice of beach vs over water villas. We loved it!"

"Amazing location with a few minutes walk to a spectacular lagoon off Sunset Beach. Very nice accommodations and couldn’t have asked for better place to stay!"

"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. "
