    Easy walk to Maharepa, the island's township. Lots of eateries and restaurants 2 to 15 mins walk nearby, and local supermarket. Great spot, nice and friendly staff. Nice garden room, looked refurbished and we love the scent of the Manava body lotion (Tahitian Tiaré). With all the shower gel, liquid soap and shampoo smelling amazing. Very nice sunsets and beautiful location, there's a wharf right next to the Resort that is handy if you need pickup and drop off for various boat activities on Mo'orea. Happy hour daily from 5 to 7 pm during our stay. Traditional shows every Wednesday and Saturday with a buffet, if you want dinner with it. First in first served tables at the front, but there's plenty of room.

    The beds and pillows are probably due for an upgrade.

    We stayed in the premium overwater bungalow which was incredible and then the beach bungalow which was equally amazing. The location is perfect and in walking distance shops and restaurants / bars (go to Moorea beach club and Maitai). The pool area is also great and staff are super helpful with plenty of small unexpected touches. Can highly recommend doing a lagoon snorkeling tour with lunch and hiring e-bikes for the day and stopping for lunch at Snack Mahana. The water isn’t was blue as at the Hilton / Sofitel but it is beautiful. If you want an overwater bungalow pay for the premium one, the lagoon facing bungalows are shallow. We cannot recommend the beach bungalow highly enough though.

    Tropical drinks were very expensive.

    We loved our BEACH bungalow with a beautiful water view. The outside deck and beach both had lounge chairs. The bungalow was spacious and private. We definately made the right choice of beach vs over the water bungalow.. The resort is large and well laid out. The breakfast was excellent and restaurants very nice. The infinity pool had pretty views. We did visit the Hilton for lunch and were happy we chose Manava Beach. The pictures do not show how beautiful the resort it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Overwater rooms 401 and 402 are very noisy, located right at public beach and scuba divers. I suggest not ever renting those rooms - maybe use them for photos and private dinner parties. Kids and tour boats are right under you there. Fortunately the very nice manager changed us to a quieter, absolutely delightful room. Thank you. Many of us arrived before rooms were available. Please have the beach bar open for food and drink earlier than 11:30 Add an area for changing clothes beside little restroom. Many were opening suitcases and changes into bathing suits in the lobby - not cool, not how you want your lovely hotel to look

    Lovely facility and friendly, helpful staff

    Beach oom location was quite noisy - all day and at night - garden room location was quieter

    I actually like the garden room best - the view from the beach view room was only of the water bungalows and though the noise of the sea was nice during the day, we had to keep the windows shut at night and so couldn't hear it then. The garden room was nice and private with it's own little pool

    Beautiful hotel, right in front of the lagoon. Great service and customer experience. Great for couples and/or families? Much better value for the money than competing American hotel chains in Moorea.

    This didnt ultimately feel like the most honeymoon vibe to our holiday. We had more exclusive locations and for Manava's price, we probably could have gone for a cheaper options as we didnt feel like we got much of A Honeymoon treatment. The gym is equipped with only cardio machines (they could do with investing in some weights and a bench for those fancying a bit more than a walk or a run in their workouts).The rooms are a little dated and could do with a little Tender, Love and Care.

    The pool is wonderful and so is the location. The staff are very different to other Polynesian Islands. Here you will find more English speaking staff. it is clear that this hotel is catered to many foreigners and vacation go-ers. We stayed in the beach bungalow enjoyed being the last one on site for a bit more privacy and exclusivity. Breakfast was very very very good compared to some other hotels we've stayed in. View of sunrise and sunset is pretty spectacular. Hotel could do with having more access to transportation, especially to those arriving to the island for the first time, although once you are checked in, they are good at organizing one from the hotel to places you need to go to.

    The menu at the restaurant never changes. If breakfast isn't included with your room it is VERY expensive for a buffet. An a la carte menu would be nice for someone who doesn't need a large breakfast. We went off the resort and had breakfast and other meals elsewhere.

    The pool area was lovely and there were always lounge chairs and shade available.
