Moorea, Moorea-Maiao hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great Homestay. Rental car available upon request, the snokling at the beach front is devine. "

"My husband and I recently stayed in a pool bungalow to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The hotel staff surprised us with a beautiful welcome bottle of chilled champagne, flowers decorating the entire room and bed, and special greenery on the bed spelling out Happy Anniversary. Beautiful Polynesian decor and vibe throughout the resort, delicious breakfast buffet. I hope we'll get to stay at the Manava again sometime."

"It was a great experience staying here. Very clean and I love how the beach is right in the front of you. Staffs re very friendly!"

"The room was great the food was great the ocean is amazing! "

"we had a wonderful time. love everything here."

"we liked the access to the beach, the local store one block from us, the fresh baked goods, the local restaurants near by, did miss a outdoor grill to cook some fresh fish and meats for dinner, "

"Our villa was modern, secure, comfortable, beautifully furnished and was a perfect place to relax and enjoy our holiday. Dining out at The Holy Steak House, which was close by, was also special. Thank you for your warm hospitality Jennifer & Jenny."

"I highly recommend this hotel. All of the staff were fantastic and are just wonderful. The cleaning lady’s husband is a fisherman. We bought a big tuna fish from him. They helped us prepare the tuna and cook it together. We shared the tuna with other hotel visitors. It was the best tuna :). There were also kayaks on-site that we can use. The room was super clean and organized. We will come back again. Thank you for a fantastic stay."

"We spent 5 nights at niu beach hotel, this property was nicely decorated, clean and new, the studio spaces are well thought out for 2. We found it very helpful having a kitchenette for when we couldn’t book in at some of the busier local restaurants, and a small supermarket just a bike ride away. The kayaks were fun, and it was nice to snorkel straight from the beach. We were told the area was known for turtles, but they were elusive for us. The staff were very helpful and kind. The local tours that we took would pick us up from the hotel. Speaking french will help you in Moorea, but is definitely not required. "
