Lovely location and newly renovated rooms
Good snorkeling reef
Food is a little pricey
Breakfast mediocre
But I was working remotely and loved the convenience

Perfect location next to the airport. Especially for folks leaving on cruise or arriving at 11pm as I did. Why spend money on high cost hotel for short stay. It is directly across from the airport but to walk it you would have to take streets to cross the roadway between the airport and the hotel. If I wasnt lugging a big suitcase I would have walked it so I opted for the approx $20 taxi ride. Friendly receptionist at checkin. Inexpensive room was clean and comfortable.

Our visit back to Hotel Kaveka 23 years after our honeymoon at the same location was wonderful. We prefer smaller, locally run and/or owned hotels, and Hotel Kaveka does not disappoint. The manager was kind enough to upgrade us for our stay, and we enjoyed our spacious and clean bungalow, a few steps from the water. Each morning over our coffee we'd watch the fish, and were treated to seeing an octopus. Great snorkeling is right in front at a drop-off. So nice to see the numerous upgrades over years--what a treat to stay once again.

This hotel is no frills, but clean, cute and the staff are all so wonderful. The snorkeling off the dock is some of the best on the island; a secret treasure right at your feet! The restaurant has many options and is delicious, albeit a little pricey. My friend and I wanted to rent scooters, and the staff coordinated for us, which was very helpful and the scooters were delivered straight to our hotel. There was air conditioning in the room, although we did not need it at night because the ceiling fan was enough. Overall we had a lovely stay at Hotel Kaveka, and if you’re looking for a safe, clean, simple place to stay this is it!

Friendly, accommodating staff and bilingual.
After seeing some negative comments before booking i saw none of that, nor experienced anything untoward.
A very relaxing stay. With an excellent restaurant within a short drive away.

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK! First check in. Odd not very warm greeting no “congrats on your honeymoon” nothing of the short. Guy walked us to our room showed us were to enter the room key to turn on the lights and AC then left. Room was dirty with dirty linens, stained towels. A giant cockroach crawling around and what I assume was a gecko’s poop on my pillow. Spider’s webs in every corner. Tiny bugs everywhere. I get it I am on an island but the reason for so many bugs was clearly from not cleaning and the half an inch gap in the sliding glass window that needs replacement. We paid for the beach and waterfront room. There was local teens playing music and swimming in front of our room daily. Literally right in front of us on the hotel grounds. The hotel did nothing to vacate these teens. I am all about kids having fun, but it seriously killed the vibes and provided no privacy at all.
The hub caps were stolen on our rental car... When I went to the front desk to inform them the guy smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said sorry. Period. No, I am so sorry let me get the manager blah blah blah. Just sorry bye. It was very very hot the week we stayed. You can only cool the room with the room key. I requested an additional room key so that the room wasn’t a completed furnace when we got back from outing, but the manager said no to this request. Please Please do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. I have so many more things but only allowed 1500 characters!

We had a marvelous three night stay in this gorgeous hotel! The service was impeccable! And the views were to die for. The staff was incredibly, friendly and helpful. My husband was not feeling well after the ferry ride into the island, so they allowed us to check into our hotel Several hours early. We are for sure coming back and this is the hotel we will stay in again! The views and the beach and the surrounding area and the staff can’t be beat anywhere else on the island.

Loved the views of Cooks Bay. Friendly and helpful staff. Being so close to the water to take dips whenever we wanted was a treat.

This was my second time at Kaveka and we were upgraded on the second day which was wonderful. The bungalow was recently renovated. Clean, roomy with the verandah facing the sea. Service was excellent. My son and granddaughter stayed with me and they made such a fuss of her (aged three) I’ll always be grateful.
Sophia in particular went out of her way and needs to be acknowledged.
The location is superb.
We look forward to returning next year.

Left after first night as they didn't have a pool which we needed (for the kids) and was one of the main reasons we booked it. Front desk and manager was rude, slow and obnoxious in recognizing and handling the issue. Blaming us for it rather than dealing with the fact that they are advertised as with pool on hotels.com. Took 2 days and they still charged us for 2 nights even though we only stayed for 1. Don't go...

ALL of the staff we encountered were very kind and helpful. The bungalow is older and dated-but served its purpose.
2.0 / 5.0
The staff are very friendly. Our room was very hot, ceiling fan did not work, and tv did not turn on. The maintenance tried to fix the fan and did bring us a large fan for the night which was very nice. He did provide another key so the AC would cook down the room while we went for dinner.. it is a very old

The property is right on a shallow reef with a drop in spot over a steep, deep underwater gorge to snorkel in.
1.5 / 5.0
The view from the restaurant is gorgeous and the food was pretty good. Staff very friendly but forgot my request for a bike and my safe still didn’t work after 2 requests. No kettle in room and no water provided even though you can’t drink the water at the hotel. Housekeeping not great- forgot to leave clean glasses, hand towels and toilet paper. Bed ok but bathroom very dated

We stayed two nights at this hotel and really enjoyed our experience. The staff was friendly and super helpful with what to do around the island. I loved having coffee ready early in the morning.

It was generally a nice stay!! The hotel is a bit old but preserves the local and traditional element!! The staff was really helpful and friendly!! We loved them all! The restaurant is very good and the dishes served varied and well-cooked!! We enjoyed the views from the restaurant to the cook’s bay! And the prices ate quite reasonable compared to big hotel resorts!! It is close to the village Maharepa and you can reach all shops and restsurants and supermarket, pharmacy, cafes etc in 10 minutes walk! We will definitely come back

Beautiful location but no activities on site and only one dining option. No facilities in rooms for tea or coffee or self catering
0.5 / 5.0
The hotel states they have wifi but it’s only in lobby. And they’re under construction so it’s really loud all day. Lastly, their breakfast is the most ludicrous cost on the entire island. Their shuttles never showed up and their front desk person kept telling me she’d checked it herself and the wifi was working. It never was. Anytime we wanted to call somebody on island for bike rental of jet skiing, we had to walk to lobby. And the chickens wake you up early!!!

This place was peaceful and serene. The room we had was a little small for us and had no patio but we were okay with that because we chose not to upgrade and it was a place to sleep. The grounds were clean and very beautiful however they did have construction on property which was not a problem for us and looked like it was getting more bungalows added. The beach area could have been tended to with maybe removal of some of the seaweed but if you swam far out enough it was not a problem. We opted for hanging out at the end of the pier for swimming and sunbathing. The staff was always smiling with friendly greetings and assisted us with questions we had. The tourism office was next door. Overall if you didn’t want to spend lots of money on the over the water lagoons this was a very nice option. We loved it here.

Unfortunately our bungalow was only recently repainted and a strong pungent odor prevailed giving us a sinus infection.
When we informed the evening staff she said they knew of it and apologized. Later the manager said we could NOT get any of empty units because of the type of reservation we had ????? He vaguely said he would ask owner if we could get some credit. But we have not heard anything!
Food and service was very good.
At approx $300 per night, we are very disappointed.

Stunningly beautiful location on Cooks Bay, lots of fish around the reef off the pier. Good restaurant. The cabin was nice; AC works well- but only while you are in the room, so needs a little time to cool down.
3.0 / 5.0
This property was listed as "lagoon view", but you could not actually see the water from the unit. The walls were so thin that we could hear everything that was going on in the room next to us. Knowing we could hear them meant they could hear everything in our unit as well. The air conditioning could only be run when you were in the room with the key in so we often came back to a very warm room. It is a fine property with a nice beach area and restaurant but over priced for what is provided and the privacy issue for connecting rooms is a big concern.

Oh I miss this place so much, This island is the one of the most beautiful places I've been to. My bungalow was awesome. Right on the water, like roll out of bed and right into the ocean awesome! The staff are so nice and helpful. The snorkeling was one of my favorite things, so many fish and one day a big turtle swam right by me! Anyway, I could go on and on, I had a great experience, book the oceanfront bungalow and you will be happy. Drive around the island, there are some amazing snack shops and so much to do, or not do and relax. Moorea is a very special place and I can't wait to get back there.

Great location, charming breakfast area on the bay and nice people in the reception BUT:
1. The aircondition and safe were not working in the first hut we moved into. Two people came to check on the problems, left and never got back to us, so we had to go to the reception area three extra times, and then wait for three hours before we had to move our luggage to a new cabin. Not even an apology offered.
2. Dust and spiderweb several places in our hut and a cockroach in the bathroom.
3. We were only able to get on the wifi once in four days. Other guests also had problems with the wifi.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS (and the costs are high!)
Cockroaches: 3 inches (7.5 cm). As I was sleeping, one crawled on my head and woke me up. When I knocked it off, not knowing what it was, it thought it would share my pillow with me. That was not to be. We had another in our shower.
Other bugs in the room: LOTS! Ya, I’m aware of the line “Well this is the tropics and you have to expect this.” Well, no, not to this level. And all our food was stored in the fridge.
Safe in the room: The first one didn’t work. They brought another, much smaller one which was unusable because of it’s size. They brought another like the first one. It did not work either. They brought a fourth one. Over an hour was killed as we couldn’t leave the room until this was fixed.
Wifi: Almost non-existent. My line speeds via telephone in the late 1990’s were faster for the few times that it did work.
Drinking water: Nope! You can’t drink the tap water. When I asked if there was any for the room at the front, they said sure, and produced a bottle. Only when I asked did they tell me there was a charge of $4. It is $1 at the grocery store. It was more that we paid a lot for the hotel and they didn’t supply drinking water.
The Beach: On one side of the lobby is a tiny strip of sand. On the second step into the water, my leg sank into the sand most of the way to my knee. I felt like I was in quicksand and it was challenging to break free. There are better beaches elsewhere.

The rooms are huts that are very comfortable and gives you a great tropical environment. The food was good at the restaurant and the view of the ocean is beautiful. I would differently return.

Friendly staff. Property needs some refreshing and the property is currently having new rooms built that should be nice view of water. Staff is very helpful setting up activities and transportation and can find better rates than most others

Cute little spot, does have cockroaches that come out at night in the bathroom, snorkeling is awesome with all the fish!
