A really sweet little beach stay. There is only 4 cabins (sleeping 2, 4, 4, 7 - we were in w two called junior suite with a garden view) so there are not many people around, we barely saw people at all. There is direct beach access and a beautiful view of the mountains behind. It’s close to lots of little snack bars, food trucks, a supermarket and a little village centre and to all main attractions too. We indulged in our first two nights of Moorea and stayed at the Manava and I wish we’d just stayed here. It’s comfortable, clean and has a wonderful feel away from lots of people which being incredibly affordable. The other place is try to stay is in either of the bays but this was a close drive (hire a car - makes the island so much more accessible and fun). We had no issues with mosquitos and it’s a very easy check in/check out process. You could cook yourself or eat cheaply at food trucks - your choice!

Its was wonderful - nothing to add here. Value for money makes it impossible to complain!

Poerani Moorea is a small property with a house (villa) and 3 bungalows, on a narrow deep lot on the lagoon side of the road. We stayed in the Villa, literally steps from the water. House, including kitchen and bath, spacious and very nice, the outdoor dining, sunbathing, and water access even better. The lagoon was terrific for snorkeling and kayaking. All we wanted for our short stay. We only stayed a few days, so didn't rent a car which was fine with grocery store and (excellent) pizza restaurant within short walking distance. Next time we stay longer, rent a car, and explore Moorea more.

The property came with kayaks, which was a key selling point for us, but nearing replacement time. Trouble with paddles, and the boats a little leaky. No danger of sinking, but got really heavy when it was time to haul them out of the water.

The lagoon in front of accommodation is amazing. very beautiful, and felt very safe for our first time kayaking on the ocean instead of a lake. The 3 kayaks on property were much appreciated, and well used by all staying. The outdoor shower was very cool, and fun to use. The yard was very nicely maintained. The accommodations were absolutely fine, not fancy, but comfortable, and had all we needed. Cabin was somewhat rustic, but very well suited for island life. It is gated and fenced, we felt very safe. We would stay again

Kitchen is an outdoor kitchen, which was kind of cool, but we were grateful to not see mosquitoes.

I liked that it had self-catering and was close to a good supermarket. Accommodation was clean and comfortable and waters edge had good amount of sun-loungers. Staff very polite and caring.

I do have one complaint and I believe that the small beach could be kept cleaner. Lots of seaweed washes in and out daily and if this was cleared up regularly it would improve the look for people. Also, there are two long pieces of plastic pipe in the water close to shore. These have sharp ends and should be cleared from the water. A little bit of TLC needed for the beach.

The property was super cute. Tucked away in a little oasis in a perfect location. Lots of privacy from other properties and the main road. It’s beach front with direct water access. The hosts were incredible, we arrived after hours (8pm) and they were there to greet us. They had our unit all light up and ready for our arrival. The location couldn’t be more perfect. It’s tucked away on the north side of the island with lots of restaurants, grocery stores, and other fun things to explore. We’d recommend this accommodation to anyone and would definitely return if we come back to Moorea. (P.s we travelled bora bora, Tahiti, tikehau and moorea, Moorea was definitely our favourite island).

Nothing is was perfect!!!

This is a small private property (4 or 5 bedrooms) on the water with walkable sand lagoon out to the channel where one can snorkel further out. The property has a garden yard, easy to use gate to street, beautiful view of the water. You can hear the waves breaking on the outer reef in the distance There were two kayaks to share for paddling out to the waves. The outside kitchen was adequate, As two couples we made use of a sizable covered outside round table with plenty of chairs. Well lit at night. We were stayed in the off season and still found adequate places to eat out. In fact, our favorite was only a 100 ft from the gate and quite good. There is also a good food market less than 70 meters away. Everyone is quite friendly even though we did not speak English. One of the maintenance crew gave us a demonstration of how to open a coconut (falling from tree on the property) to have the coconut water. He was quite skillful. No one on YouTube does it as quickly or expertly as he could do with his machete. Great beds. All staff was friendly and helpful to the max.

The AC in one bedroom did not work for two nights but was fixed in a reasonable amount of time given that it failed on a Sunday. They also brought a fan to help which WAS quite helpful.

Each unit (5 in total) has own private outdoor area with outdoor furniture. Staff very friendly & helpful. Gardens are gorgeous with outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach swim. Masks, snorkels, flippers provided for guest use. Private Beach great & saw lots of marine life when snorkelling.

Water pressure not so good & hard to get consistent hot shower (but not really an issue as cooler shower is nice in this heat) wifi terrible at our unit.

Beautiful Tahitian accommodation. Close to the ocean and able to snorkel and kayak right off property. There is a full kitchen so you can cook if you like. It’s not far from stores. The staff are very nice and helpful.

The toilet room was a bit small.

very private, quiet property, there’s only 3 units so you are not overwhelmed with strangers all the time. the grounds and bungalows was very well maintained. we have access to the water just a few steps from the bungalow, kayaks and water shoes available foc. the location is just opposite some resurarants and a supermarket, very convenient especially if you like to experience local living and food

i had some issues locking the main door from the inside but its not s major thing. just needs a bit of repair thats all

very friendly staff, very clean, great location near town. Market only 5 min walk. Thr grounds are really nice and there are kayaks to use in the lagoon. the small beach allows for nice sunsets and there is terrific snorkeling in the lagoon

the hot water could be more consistent during showering, Even taking "navy showers" the water went cold about half way thru.
