Absolutely loved Moorea beach lodge and wished I could have stayed longer! Great location right on the way and close to markets and restaurants. They rent scooters and cars by the day.

BEWARE: Doors do not close properly. There are gaps between doorways and bugs can easily enter. There is also an infestation of ants! We had to request for a new room because there was a swarm of ants on the day bed that then got into our luggage. NIGHTMARE! We were given a new room and the hosts must not have checked because there was a dead gecko on the ground next to the bed with another swarm of ants all over it. It was late so my husband took care of it but there were still ants crawling all over the room. We found ourselves having to kill ants constantly. Service is top notch! Prior to check in, we received a message from the lodge to confirm check in, it was very easy to communicate with the host who is very friendly and accommodating Anything we needed was just a whatsapp message away. Breakfast here is great! Absolutely add to your stay. It's simple but the fruit plate and the juice were fantastic! Location is further from many of the places we ended up going to -- taxi can be expensive so I recommend getting a rental car. However, there were 2 restaurants just walking distance to the lodge that were fantastic recommendations! Also close to markets and pharmacy.

Our stay was nice. The resort is on a beautiful piece of property and is well maintained. The beachfront is the draw with nice sand (not rocky) and a gentle slope into the ocean - good for snorkeling and swimming. They have kayaks and bicycles available for guests to use. They also have a common kitchen available to use from 11 am to 11 pm. However, the bungalows are very small; a bathroom and bed, no table to sit or any additional space - basically its a bedroom with attached bathroom. So, if you need more space or want a coffee maker or microwave in your room, this isn't the place for you. It's located close to town, you can walk to restaurants and shops (1/4 mile). Lots of upsides... Downsides, neighboring dogs barking, because its close to town - street noise (motorcycles and trucks). It's serene within its walls, but they can't control the neighboring noises. AC in bungalows is only adequate, but not really cold. If you rent a motorcycle or car, they have a gate that you have to get out and punch in the code to open. The problem isnt so much the inconvenience of getting out to walk over to punch in a code, but the gate is so close to the street, you have to wait on the road, while you get out, key in the code and wait for the gate to slowly open, all the while your hoping traffic sees you and doesnt ram into you while your parked on the street (really not well thought through where they positioned the gate). Overall, we would stay there again, mainly for the beach.

My wife and I absolutely loved staying here - it was amazing.

We had a great stay for 4 nights - the resort is very small and low key but with a couple of great perks including the breakfast service, room locations and included kayaks. The wifi isn't all that reliable which was disappointing given a couple of us in the group needed to be able to connect at various times for work reasons. You can walk to nearby restaurants for meals, including Cafe Vincenzo which was fabulous for dinner. A couple of fans on the main deck in the common area would also be a great add as well to combat the afternoon heat.

A true gem in mo’orea! Spent 7 nights with my family in the family bungalow and enjoyed every minute. The staff is wonderful. Delicious breakfast and view. Daughter loved kayaking to nearby island for the hermit crabs. And regarding other reviews mentioning bugs ... yes you are on a tropical island there will be nugs. But they never bothered us. thank you MBL we loved your hospitality and beautiful spot in paradise.

The location and decor are beautiful and elegant. However, once you look beyond the exterior, there are real issues that go back to management. There is a serious ant problem that is not addressed as well as stains of dead flies and ants all over the walls that have never been cleaned. The breakfast, while they tell you is free, is not and you’re expected to pay $22 per person per day, even when you never actually got to choose what you order. It’s a very odd experience. If the management improves, I’d be willing to try again, but I don’t see that happening soon as the owner is SO defensive and all he says is “I know, they never listen to me”

Bugs galore in our hut. We asked a couple of times for this to be looked at and despite the fact that they insisted they would spray for bugs, they never did. There was NEVER anybody at the front desk to help with issues or to offer advice. It was rare that we would see somebody to ask for assistance. Roosters wake you up EVERY MORNING at 4 AM. There was construction within 5 meters of our room and we had to listen to power tools and hammers all day between 7 AM and 4 PM. We could not relax and take a nap (required after being awaken by roosters). Management didn't seem to care.

We stayed here 2 nights as part of our Honeymoon trip to French Polynesia. The beach lodge was quaint, and set up almost to beach front. It was a relaxing start to our trip and we would stay again. I recommend renting a car to be able to travel around the island to be able to see more of what it has to offer. The lodge has complimentary bikes that you can use. Breakfast is around 22 XPF per person and consists of eggs, croissants, coconut cake, coffee and juice. There is a communal kitchen where you can cook your own meals and quite a few guests in the hotel took advantage of that. Our stay was too short to leverage that, but would recommend going that route if you are staying longer.

Great location. No signage outside the property. Overall, the beach sunset was amazing.
