Moorea-Maiao, Windward Islands hotel rooms at the Independent

"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."

"Loved this property and close to town. "

"Paradise! Wonderful staff and amenities. Highly recommend!!"

"Amazing location with a few minutes walk to a spectacular lagoon off Sunset Beach. Very nice accommodations and couldn’t have asked for better place to stay!"

"This hotel was clean, catering and the staff was exceptional! "

"Wonderful location, super quiet and very nice staff. Direct access to the lagoon with kayaks and Sups available. Breakfast included, on the beach with your feet in the water. That's where I'll go again next time. Mauruuru Roa. "

"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."

"Very comfortable- much better than a hotel room. I enjoyed the outdoor covered deck, footsteps from the lagoon and kayaking. Breakfast was great. And the adorable geckos."

"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. "
