    We had a fantastic stay during our time here. Moea received us very warmly and the bungalow was cute and clean. Really appreciated the fresh fruits that we got as well :) The beach is a little smaller than in the pictures now, but we had the place to ourselves during our stay and it was beautiful. Amazing snorkelling in the coral garden with the free kayaks.

    Nice rustic place on the beach about a mile south of the ferry landing, consequently you need a car. Kayaks available, good snorkeling just off shore. Very friendly and accommodating caretaker. We had the place to ourselves, but usually there would be others. No AC, just fans. If you're looking for modern, this is not it. If you're looking for a nice relaxing place on the beach with a kitchen, this is it.

    This is not something that I didnt like, because I was warned, but it is useful to have some sort of local transportation lined up. The nearest shop is a reasonable walk away.

    Down to earth, but cute and cosy and a beachfront location to remember. Moea welcomed us warmly and was extremely helpful when we needed to know anything sbout Moorea.

    The beach is just right at the front. Feel like you have a private beach for yourself. The host was super friendly. But it's quite hard to find the location, especially at night.

    Street noise was more than optimal and you do smell fumes from the cars at times. Some nights were quiter than others but traffic on the main road in front starts just before 6am

    Best part of the Eco Lodge is the location of the cottages right on the beach with walk-in access to the water and snorkeling. Free use of kayak's and paddle boards are a big bonus as well.

    Our bungalow was just off the road, so the cars driving by could be a little loud. On weekends, the locals burn their brush piles and it got a bit smoky outside. Not much you can do about that though, it’s part of the local experience.

    We liked how the accommodation was right on the beach. The bungalow was very cute and we liked the artisan construction. It was great that we could take kayaks out into the water.

    I couldn’t figure out how to cover the bed with the mosquito nets. As a result we got bit at night when we slept.

    The private beach and facilities were fantastic. Having the kitchen was a must and was very nice to have.

    it did but have a washer in the suit even though there is a washer/dryer on site.

    great location away from the town center. there is a beach nearby and restaurant n site. we love being able to cook since the kitchenette has a pretty complete cookware to make meals. We loved the open balcony that has an amazing view of the ocean and can watch the fish/dolphins in the morning.

    Not much…the open air feel and structure of the home provided for lots of mosquitos to fight with and a few times we had a local kitten sneak in somehow. But honestly the other stuff beat out this.

    The ambiance, right there on the beach with that view..you can’t beat it. Also with only 3 units for rent, it’s very quiet and relaxing and quite private.

    Nothing, it was great!

    Amazing location, has its own little beach. I really liked having a sheltered outdoor area so I could sit outside even when it was raining. The lodge was immaculately clean and very cute. You need some transport to get around, but it's still a short drive to the main areas. Feel like it was very good value for money here as well!

    You will need to get transport (car or scooter or bike) as taxis are limited. I find this is the same for much of French Polynesia. Yes you can hear the traffic from your room, but I live in a major city so it didn’t bother me.

    This property was like an oasis, I read some of the reviews so I wasn’t expecting much but when I arrived I was greeted with a smile. The accommodation had everything you needed and was comfortable. The Wifi worked without any issues. But the highlight was the little private beach area, it was so lovely to wake and and have a coffee whilst watching the water and reading a book. I loved my stay here was really nice. There is a shop for groceries 1 Km away from the property, so I could stock the fridge.

    No mosquito net! No AC. Located far from shops/anything of interest, you need a taxi/rental. Loud street/animal noises during the night. I stayed in far superior accommodations in rich countries for half the price.

    Nice private beach, friendly host, room and facilities were clean. For max. 1-2 nights okay if you bring mosquito repellant.

    Some road noise, but as it is the only main road and goes around the whole island just about all the accomodation would he the same. The views and location more than make up for it.

    Absolutely fantastic! All the photos are true representations of the accommodation. The view is exactly as in the photos. Private beach and great snorkelling right on the doorstep. Just spectacular. We stayed in Ata and Hina. It is on one of the quieter sides/areas of the island so transport is a must. The bigger supermarket is about 2.5km away, but there is a couple of food vans and a pizza place (which is excellent as well) within a kilometre. Fresh fish and fruit readily available at roadside stalls and cheap. Everything is neat and tidy and gets swept and raked every day. Facilities are more than adequate for either cooking at home or eating out They make an effort with recycling and composting in an area where it is hard to do. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone. If you want the touristy side of the island with all the resorts and curio shops then this is probably not for you. If you want to experience local lifestyle and slow down then it is perfect.

    The only thing is I wish I stayed an extra day but since it’s summer and high travel season it wasn’t available but everything else was amazing

    Everything! I think it’s the best hotel on the island! It’s close to the ferry, close to few stores and we walked to get food and cooked. It has all appliances you need and it’s clean and comfortable! Bungalow has beach vibe and not commercialized hotel feel and that’s what we like so it was perfect. But the LOCATION is just beyond amazing. It’s right in the water. The water is crystal clear and you can snorkel right there. It’s just a little paradise. Staff was very very friendly and nice and it was always quite except for passing cars but you don’t hear that when you by the water. Recommend renting a scooter!
