"The Teahupo’o surf break is basically directly out front (off-shore at the reef, of course) but water taxis are right at the shore by the front gate of pension so the location could not be better from that POV.
It’s a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupo’o photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if you’ve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well.
The pension is quite nice, super...
"Like sharing a house with friends. A bit of noise from the family; but very clean and well supplied. We were comfortable and it was great to support the local people."
"One word sums up this resort..... spectacular!!!!! From the room, the staff, the food, and the views just incredible!!! Me and my wife have traveled around the world and hands down this is the best resort we have ever been to!! We only stayed one night before boarding our South Pacific Cruise but we have already booked a week stay next fall!!! Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay incredible!"
"This is one of the most unique properties we have ever stayed in. Snuggled against the lush mountain side with a spectacular view of the lagoon, the Vanira Lodge is a must if in the Teahupoo area. We stayed here in 2015 and it was magical. We were so excited to be back and it was just as magical as the first time. Merci!"
"Our host was very nice and the location was awesome! Beaches were nearby and a peaceful environment where we could see every star in the milky way!
The rooms were nice and clean and enough space for the two of us!"
"We stayed here only for one night as there was limited possibility due to late booking. We highly recommend the hotel for couples planning to stay for up to a week in Moorea. There are good restaurants and a shop closeby so you do not per se need a car all days. Swimming and Kayaking of the coast was great, we even saw a turtle in the crystal clear water. Besides that the hotel itself is in a good state and has an amazing view. There is a big kitchen for general use which is also helpful if you...

"Great little place to stay. A rental car or scooter is recommended and I would for sure do that next time though I was able to walk to the grocery store and restaurant!I would go there again!"
"Smartest stay we ever booked. Everything about the Villa Alana was better than expected. Clean, functional, luxurious, plenty of space, pool and outdoor area excellent. Close to all amenities that Vaitape has to offer. Arii, our contact was lovely to coordinate with. Efficient and professional at all times. Can’t recommend this property enough. Btw, house comes with Geckos that are an absolute delight 😁"
"Breakfast was simple but enough. Some of the best snorkeling we found across the island was off the beach of the hotel. The use of kayaks made it really fun to kayak to the nearby bay and over towards the nearby Hilton bungalows. The property has older furnishings but we didn’t plan to be in our room much and turned out we
Weren’t so it worked well for us. I’d recommend renting a car or scooter if staying here to help ease with exploration of the island"
"We had a wonderful stay at Hiro'a - Fare Orotia, and honestly, it saved our vacation.
Due to some unforeseen issues with our original accommodations, we found ourselves needing a new place to stay on very short notice, as in it’s 4pm and we have no where to stay. The host called me within the hour of the booking request, kindly walked me through every detail, and let me know she was already sending her cleaning team so we could check in shortly after. True to her word, everything was spotless...

Slow on service at times
Tennis court had construction equipment on it"
"Wonderful, but large place. We stayed in the end bungalow over the water so it was a bit of a walk to the resort. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Reservations for dinner are definitely required at the restaurant. The Sunday Buffet was excellent, but pricey. Overall, it is a great place to stay."
"This is the best resort I have ever been to. The service was amazing. The view of the mountain was beautiful from our overwater Villa.
Super friendly people."
