Eugene M. (Canada – February 2020) / Suite ‘Ava’e

This is bliss.
A very private and beautiful little beach, the sounds of the breakers way out on the reef, the birdsong, the flowering garden. Very friendly and accommodating host, although staff is not resident on the property. Easily accessible by email or text.

Karl L. (USA & New Zealand – November 2019) / Property

Stephane & Franck’s place is amazing – we had a fabulous family reunion there in November. The house is super clean and well stocked (including kayaks) and the air conditioning was very appreciated. It was very helpful having Eric organize our activities (and pick up from the ferry) for us since we don’t speak French. We ranged from 3 months to 5 years to 50+ years old, and all had a relaxing, enjoyable, memorable time. We used up all our bug spray and sun block! The location is outstanding – so close to good pizza, supermarket and roadside fruit and yet so private and quiet.

Alejandra Z. (USA – November 2019) / Guest room Moana

Do yourself a favor and stay at Poerani if you’re visiting Moorea. The location is super convenient. The property is beautiful and right on the water. There is fantastic snorkeling just outside your door. The bungalow is spacious and clean. Eric, the property manager, is kind and super helpful. We got picked up and dropped off for our various excursions and Eric helped us arrange everything. I highly recommend staying here.

Cynthia C. (USA – November 2019) / Guest room Ra’i

A beautiful, delightful, and charming private property just a ten minute walk to Maharepa, Moorea. This is the perfect home base while exploring Moorea. Clean, comfortable bungalows or rooms (with separate kitchen) right on the Lagoon. Concierge Eric Villeneuve is a kind and knowledgeable host who can assist you with any requests. I was very happy and comfortable with my stay at this property. Lovely atmosphere. Homey ambiance.

Florent D. (France – October 2019) / Property

 Le lieu est merveilleux, nous sommes venus à 16 amis et tout le monde a vécu confortablement, le lieu est spacieux et permet l’intimité de chacun. La villa offre une vue et une plage privée très agréable aussi. Merci à Stéphane et Eric qui nous ont accueillis et sont restés très disponibles pour nous.Petites attentions bien pensées

Karen C. (Chile – October 2019) / Guest Room Moana

Es un lugar excepcional!! Desde el inicio al final!! Muchas gracias a Erick el anfitrión que nos ayudo en todo lo que pudo, siempre disponible para alguna sugerencia. Fue magnífico despertar y dormir escuchando el sonido del mar. Muchas gracias por esta experiencia!! Todo como salía en las fotos! La limpieza impecable y el anfitrión logró aprender rápidamente español para hablar con nosotros. Volveremos sin dudas! Mil gracias

Deborah P. (USA – September 2019) / Suite Mahana

Excellent Lodging in Moorea.
We stayed 6 nights at Poerani Moorea. From our welcoming introduction to our fond farewells, complete with leis, the experience was warm and comfortable. Emeline was a treasure, always quickly available online or on the grounds to help arrange tours and tickets to the many attractions on Moorea. We were very happy with the activities she arranged: lagoon tour (…), whale watching (and snorkeling! …), 4WD tour (…), and Tiki Village dance show. All offered pickups right at the gate of Poerani. With Emeline’s services, guests at Poerani have the more than the equivalent of a resort concierge at hand. The Mahana Suite has a nice lagoon-view veranda with dining table and sofa, an open-air, well-equipped kitchen. and two air-conditioned bedrooms with a WC between them and shower + sink in the smaller bedroom. The beds (queen + full) were relatively comfortable and have mosquito nets just in case. The back bedroom has its own sliding glass door onto a garden patio (with clothesline). The bungalows are located within 5 minutes walk from a supermarket, 2 “snacks” (pizza and salads/crepes, and restaurant “Mahogany”. With a rental car, you are within 45 minutes of everything on this small island. Despite a lack of laundry facilities for non-villa guests, we found the Mahana Suite and Poerani grounds to be very comfortable for an extended stay. The Poerani shoreline is not large, but has an expansive view. Just sitting on the steps into the water, I observed a young moray eel and many small mullet. The water is probably only knee-deep with a sandy bottom out for about 50 m off the shore, where it drops into a deep channel. (…). Beyond the channel, the lagoon has many, many coral heads at shallow depth, perfect to explore with the provided kayaks. Paddling out in the early morning, we saw a couple of rays and small black-tip sharks in this part of the lagoon. Do wear strong reef shoes everywhere in FP due to stonefish (none seen here).

Linda B. (USA – September 2019) / Guest room Ra’i

Wonderful accommodation with great hostess. Very clean and well equipped with towels, soaps, etc as well as outdoor equipment (bikes, kayaks, etc). Great location- both easy to get around with some shops and restaurants nearby and with a great sea front swimming to the reef was very easy. Highly recommended!

Florence M. (France – August 2019) / Property

Excellent séjour chez Stephane et franck avec famille et amis. La maison est superbe ainsi que les bungalows. Le bain est très bien et le lagon magnifique à cet endroit . Commerces à proximité . Merci

Nanou L. (France – August 2019) / Villa Poerani

Très bel emplacement, très belle maison, proche des commerces, accueil très sympathique avec réponse à toutes les questions. Beaucoup de disponibilité

Sandrine F. (France – August 2019) / Suite Mahana

Fare très agréable et bien situé en bordure de lagon nous étions dans un logement pour 4 bien conçu et bien situé sur moorea je conseille le snack tout prêt tenu par Greg qui est très sympathique et cuisine très bien ainsi que la pizzeria qui permet de commander des pizzas qui est bien pratique merci à Emeline qui s’occupe du FARE qui est disponible souriante et très sympathique des moments d’échanges agréables avec elle quand elle nous apportait le petit déjeuner et de bons consels pour les réservations d’activités sur l’ile une bonne adresse amitiés

Remo M. (Uruguay – August 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Lindo y pulcro alojamiento.Entorno agradable.Muy buena experiencia.
Hay de todo a disposición: Bicicletas, Kayacs, Snorkel , cada cosa en su lugar. La atención de Emeline super cálida y dispuesta a colaborar. Tuvieron una gentileza a nuestro egreso que mucho valoramos.

Catherine R. (France – August 2019) / Villa Poerani

Magnifique séjour au calme dans un cadre exceptionnel et enchanteur, la villa est absolument magnifique, la plage privée et le jardin de corail très agréables (perroquet, poisson clown, murène, raie, tortue…).

Bruce D. (USA – July 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Ultra clean, well-managed, nothing is overlooked. Best waterfront value on an expensive island.

Anthony C. (USA – July 2019) / Suite Mahana

My wife and I stayed on Moorea for 7 days. INice cottage, great location. Private property. Follow up to questions and reservations was awesome. I would recommend a car at least one day while on Moorea. Grocery stores are close and there are many restaurants to visit. If you are water person than you’ve come to the right place. My wife and I would stay at the cottage if we come back to Tahiti.

Carolina R. (Chile – July 2019) / Villa Poerani

 Recomiendo mucho este alojamiento, un lugar con mucho encanto, buen lugar para hacer snorkel, biblioteca, buena selección de cds y equipo de música, cocina super práctica, y lo mejor un comedor en la terraza alucinante

Justin R. (USA – July 2019) / Villa Poerani

Magical villa on the water. The space is beautiful and was perfect for our friends and family getaway. We can’t wait to come back

Emmanuel B. (Switzerland – July 2019) / Suite Mata’i

Résidence bien située, à 10 mn de l’aéroport. Il y a des restaurants à proximité et un petit supermarché. C’est propre et bien équipé. Un grand merci à Emeline qui été très serviable et tout ceci avec un grand sourire. Il y a des vélos, des kayaks de mer à disposition.

Patricia K. (USA – June 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Charming and relaxing. Exactly what I had hoped for.
Charming, romantic little bungalow, very cozy for one person in my case or would be perfect for two also. Extremely clean and the grounds are meticulously groomed. The whole property is lovely and has water access from a.pretty, grassy little beach. I didn’t have a water view but it was only steps away if I wanted to sit by the water. Never missed it because I loved the privacy of my bungalow surrounded by a lush tropical garden.

Camille R. (France – June 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Sérénité
La localisation est parfaite de meme que l’accueil ! Bungalow à l’écart des gros hôtels bondés, calme. À l’accueil, on s’occupe de réserver toutes vos excursions pour vous pour avoir juste le temps de profiter. Le lit est bien confortable avec moustiquaire. Ici on ne manque de rien, commerces à pied à 3 Minutes. Foncez !

Donald G. (USA – June 2019) / Chambre Ra’i

 If your looking for relaxation, some ocean swimming, and defiantly beautiful sunsets or morning breakfast views this place should be on the top of your list. Stephane & Franck have thought about what they want their guests to experience and how their retreat should feel – everything has been supplied for you in order for you to have a memorable stay; from the well stocked kitchenette to the ocean (shoes, goggles, and kayaks) activities. The kitchenette is perfectly sized: small and efficient with the bonus of several grocery stores in close proximity makes it perfect for those who choose to cook some of their meals. If you don’t cook on your vacation, there are restaurants close by that you could walk to though driving or using one of the available bicycles gives you more variety to choose from – we cooked a full American breakfast in our kitchenette and had dinner out: pizza at Luciano, Chinese at the food truck (by the grocery store – U express), chicken and fries at a snack stand (next to Moorea Beach Cafe) , and Chinese at Golden Lake. We had a wonderful stay and will be back again in the future.

Tita T. (USA – May 2019) / Chambre Moana

Poerani Moorea is such a secret little gem! We stayed here for 4 nights and it was lovely. Right next to the water + really great snorkeling. We took advantage of the kayaks + snorkeling equipment and had a blast! Additionally, the location is pretty amazing – near the top spots in Moorea and there were restaurants within walking distance. Emeline was fantastic and helped us book a tour on our last day! She made herself available to us and was always prompt with responding to our requests. Thank you so much!

Charlotte R. (New-Zealand – May 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

We loved Poerani! Beautiful and convenient location, well fitted out bungalows on lush grounds with easy access to a great swimming spot, with sun loungers and free kayaks. Franck and Emeline could not have been better hosts. Emeline organised scooter hire and transfers for us and was so helpful and friendly. Maharepa is a short walk away and has great options for meals and a supermarket and bank.

Peter T. (USA – May 2019) / Guest room Ra’i

Great central location with direct access to the water. Very close to restaurants supermarkets stores. We saw a stingray right outside on the shallow water. There is a snack place open for lunch. You can just walk across the street to get a burger and there is another place also almost across street for pizza and some other food. The famous restaurant Rudy is not far away and should try at least once. We went to the manava resort nearby to watch the Polynesian show. You don’t have to eat there to watch the show. We had a rental car the whole time we were in Moorea and highly recommend it for the flexibility.

Tim C. (Australia – April 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Free use of bikes, kayaks and snorkeling equipment. Host was excellent and very helpful.

Annie T. (Canada – April 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Nous avons adoré notre séjour, c’est propre, bien équipé, bien situé, Stéphane et Franck sont toujours disponibles. Très belle pension j’y retournerai sans hésitation. Les vélos sont très pratique. Merci pour tout!!

Lisa M. (USA- March 2019) / Suite Mahana

Everything about Poerani Moorea was fantastic. We loved the grounds and especially the view. The apartment was very comfortable. It was fine for our family of four. The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked well so it was comfortable to sleep.

Cathy M. (Canada – March 2019) / Suite Mata’i

A beautiful property in a great location. Our bungalow was lovely, it had all the comforts of home. The swimming is fantastic, lovely sandy bottom and calm water. We saw lots of fish and some stingrays! Kayaks and snorkel equipment at your disposal. Stéphane was so helpful, booked our rental car for us, and gave us lots of suggestions of things to do. The location was great for walking, with a grocery store, restaurants and shopping close by. We had a wonderful time in Moorea and Poerani Moorea.

Izabela S. (USA – March 2019) / Guest room Moana

Such an amazing location for this property, gorgeous & peaceful. Very clean… and no moscitos! Exceeded all my expectations. I could hang out in the backyard and the water all day. Hosts were only a message away, helpfull with any questions I had. And welcoming and making you feel at home. The room, bathroom and kitchen were not only very clean but high quality design and amenities. The front and back yard are enchanting, and hanging there is a pure pleasure. This was a perfect choice!!!

Alain F. (Canada – February 2019) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Petit nid d’amour, tranquillité assurée, bien localiser , près des services(restaurants- épiceries ) et d’une propreté. La plage est superbe et privée . Accueil de Stéphane personnalisé qui nous donnes toutes les informations necessaires pour passer un excellent séjour. Les petites villas sont dans un jardin intérieur, avons accès à des vélos, des kayacs. Nous recommandons fortement cet établissement. Coup de cœur. 

Nancy F. (Canada – February 2019) / Suite Mahana

Wonderful location, helpful host, great experience

Paradise. Very helpful and friendly host. Beautiful location. Amazing snorkelling right from the beach. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. Wonderful.

Dana V. (USA – February 2019) / Guest room Moana

This place is wonderfully located on the north shore of Mo’orea. The waterfront is private and a dream to look out at. Stephane & Franck thought of every detail to make our stay as comfortable and as fun as possible. They even booked a tour for us that was easily the highlight of our trip!

Jean-Michel C. (Canada – February 2019) / Suite Mata’i

A quiet, safe and very accessible location to relax and enjoy the beach and reef.

The beach the corals and the best location for snorkelling. No need to go anywhere. There are rays, black tip sharks and coral fishes as at a few hundred feet. Many stores and restaurants within walking distance. The availability of kayaks, bicycles and snorkelling equipment makes is a very relaxing environment.

Jenni L. (USA – February 2019) / Villa Poerani

Being at home in French Polynesia

If the bustling American resort, replete with sim-up pool bar and loud children is not your thing, Poerani Moorea may be. We rented the only villa (pictured above) for a week. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is a delight, steps from the ocean, with Kayaks and bikes at your disposal. The location is superb: steps from the only gym on the island, 2 grocery stores, the post office, fun shopping and a great Parisian cafe for espresso, pastries, gelato and eggs. The Polynesian ocean? C’est Tout! Our hosts, Franck and Stephane were present and attentive but not intrusive.

Carryl D. (USA – February 2019) / Suite Mahana

My accommodations were in a private villa (not a hotel). A few yards from my villa lie the sea! An awesome view with full access. The grounds are well maintained and are in a full lush tropical setting. The villa is natural, and has good air conditioning, if you want it. This is the rainy season so I only used it twice. It cools quickly! I have food specifications, and used the kitchen for all my meals. There are two other villas on site and I had great neighbors. Since I solo travelled, this was a pleasant plus!

Mark C. (USA – January 2019) / Suite Mata’i   

We loved Everything about Poerani. The hosts were friendly and easily accessible and helpful. The rooms were large and comfortable and the a/c was a must because it was very hot. Kitchen was adequate and outdoor sitting was perfect. The beach, snorkeling and kayaks just steps away was better than any resort. Grocery store across the road and bikes to have from property were perfect. We will stay again.

Blake G. (USA – December 2018) / Villa Poerani

Simply amazing

Poerani Moorea could not be more perfect. The villa is stunningly gorgeous, beautifully decorated and in front of the most beautiful lagoon with excellent snorkeling. Stéphane & Franck were the kindest hosts, always willing to answer our million questions and book things for us last minute (and during the Christmas holidays no less). There is a great supermarket and a few restaurants just minutes away by foot and Maharepa is also walkable. But we never wanted to leave the house, we enjoyed it so much. Thanks to Stéphane & Franck, we´ll definitely be back!

Barbara K. (USA – December 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Was fantastic accommodations and location. Can’t wait to go back.

Rosalba B. (USA – December 2018) / Chambre Moana

Stephane and Franck’s Poerani is a very special place. Their attention to detail made our stay very relaxing and memorable. Being walking distance to Maharepa provided many local places to shop and reasonably priced tasty food, particularly if you like pizza. We made full use of the bikes and kayaks. The spectacular array of fish were easily enjoyed while drifting along in the crystal clear warm water. Poerani is truly a ‘Heavenly Pearl’ in Moorea. One which we are already making plans to return to.

Alexandre A. (France – November 2018) / Chambre Ra’i

Cadre et jardin idylliques. Les Propriétaires Stephane et Franck sont accueillants et chaleureux. La chambre très propre et la décoration raffinée. Prêt de vélos et Layak. Situé à Maharepa, supermarché et restaurants sont accessibles à pied et/ou à vélo. La cuisine extérieure accessible si vous avez une chambre dans la villa est vraiment charmante et donne sur le lagon. Merci encore et a une prochaine fois j’espère! 😉

William S. (USA – November 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Great value, beautiful location, short walk to access to stores, and local restaurants. Equipped with in bungalow kitchen. Great beach access, free bicycle and kayaks available. Host Stephane was very gracious and accommodating.

Oksana G. (USA – November 2018) / Chambre Ra’i

 We just returned from staying 6 nights at Poerani villa. This place is truly amazing. Stephane is fabulous host and go above and beyond to help his guests with everything – from arranging pick up, booking the tours and giving local advice. The beach is right in front of the villa, water is clear, sunsets are breathtaking. We used kayaks everyday. Snorkeling is great right in front of the house. Great local food in walking distance. As well as the grocery store. We rented a car for one day to circle the island and it’s the must. We would absolutely stay here again!

Cynthia F. (Canada – November 2018) / Chambre Moana

We stayed for 3 nights and wanted to stay longer. It is so close to the water and water is so clear. The bicycles, kayaks and snorkeling gear are provided for your use. Stephane will help you with any excursions you would like to do and can give you tips on where to eat and what to see. The local restaurants will take you back to the property and the excursions pick you up and drop you off. There is a grocery store within walking distance.

Carlos R. (Argentina – October 2018) / Suite Mata’i

Excelente Ambiente y comodidades al mejor precio disponible en Moorea

Excelente check In por parte de Stefano y Franco muy rápido nos dieron las instrucciones y todo funcionó de maravillas. Como él alojamiento está cerca del pequeño centro comercial de Maharepa las bicicletas gratuitas que te proporcionan son de gran utilidad, además hay kayak y equipo de snorkel todo gratuito. La salida al mar es óptima. Ellos se encargaron de conseguir las excursiones que solicitamos y el taxi de regreso al embarcadero para nosotros volver a Papeete. Excelente relación precio calidad.

Bryan R. (Australia – October 2018) / Suite Mata’i

The property itself was comfortable and clean, easy to locate and well-located in Moorea, and an excellent alternative to staying in a larger resort. The garden is lovely, the lagoon at the edge of the lawn, with kayaks and bicycles supplied and well-used by us. Highlights are the very personable and helpful presence of the owners Stephane and Franc, and also I must mention the excellent little supermarket only 5-10 minutes walk down the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this accommodation and highly recommend it.

Angie & Sébastien C. (Switzerland – September 2018) / Suite Mata’i

Un vrai Paradis

5 jours inoubliables passé à la pension Poerani où nous avons été chaleureusement accueilli par Stéphane et Frank, deux personnes adorables et très serviable et de très bon conseil. C’est un endroit superbement entretenu et très charmant. Le cadre est magnifique. Nous vous conseillons vivement d’y faire un séjour ! Bonne suite à vous et j’espère a bientôt

Anna R. (USA – September 2018) / Chambre Moana

Beautiful private space with a great view. Everything is clean & thoughtfully laid out.

Kristof P. (Belgium – September 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Perfect place to stay !!!

Poerani Moorea was one of our favorite places during our trip to FP. The owners , Stephane & Frank are super friendly and informative, they do everything to make your holiday great. The bungalows are very nice. well equiped and clean. Nice bedroom with mosquito net, large badroom with shower, … The bungalows are well located near to supermarkets, restaurants and the Manava hotel for happy hour cocktails 🙂 The private beach is relaxing and you go straight from your bungalow to the sea for snorkelling, swimming, kayakking (which they have free to use, even free bikes to use) Just to confirm all the other reviews saying this is a wonderful place to stay!!!

Klaus S. (Germany – September 2018) / Chambre Ra’i

“Stephane und Franc sind ganz herzliche Gastgeber! Die Unterkunft glänzt mit allem was das Herz begehrt. Man merkt das hier viel Liebe zum Detail drinsteckt. Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen, wenn auf Moorea dann hier!!! Es wird hier immer geholfen!”

Juliette F. (France – August 2018) / Chambre Moana

Une propriété et un cadre magnifiques !

Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits chez Stéphane et Franck. Le cadre est magnifique, un accueil chaleureux et une propriété très bien entretenue. Venus pour notre lune de miel, ce lieu était parfait pour séjourner à Moorea. Stéphane s’est en plus occupé de réserver certaines de nos activités.
Le coucher de soleil au bord de l’eau est un spectacle d’une telle beauté !
Rien à redire, merci à vous et une excellente continuation !

Jordan C. (France – September 2018) / Chambre Ra’i

 Accueil et séjour parfait. Le lieu est magnifique et ce sera à renouveler avec plaisir. Un petit plus pour les kayaks, vélos et affaires de snorkeling disponibles ! a bientôt

Christine V. (France – August 2018) / Suite Mata’i

Séjour parfait à la pension Poerani

4 jours parfaits passés à la pension Poerani, d’abord à 2, puis à 4(5) quand notre fille, jeune mariée nous y a rejoints avec son mari et leur petite fille de 1 an. Excellent accueil de Stéphane et Franck, beaucoup de gentillesse, d’attention, d’adaptabilité, de bons conseils et cela dès l’arrivée, pendant le séjour et jusqu’à notre départ. Notre fare Mata’i était très agréable, très joliment décoré dans le style polynésien, confortable et spacieux, avec terrasse sur le joli jardin arboré et fleuri, il ne manquait rien de ce que nous avons pu avoir besoin durant notre séjour, sans compter les jolies attentions d’accueil (serviettes, produits salle de bain, fleurs de tiare ou d’hibiscus…). Franck et Stéphane nous ont également fourni le lit bébé avec moustiquaire pour notre petite fille. La propriété est très bien entretenue,on y trouve la jolie villa et les 3 fare, bien disposés sans promiscuité, un agréable bord de mer au calme avec transats et fauteuils très bien placés pour pour se relaxer et admirer le coucher du soleil. Le prêt des kayaks et des vélos est un véritable plus pour explorer les alentours de la pension. Nous avons pu louer également un scooter (qui nous a été apporté à la pension) chez Jef sur les conseils de Stéphane et Franck. Nous n’avons pas non plus été déçus de la sortie en mer pour voir les baleines avec Pacifik Attitude (nous avions réservé à l’avance mais il se trouve que c’est cet organisme qui est conseillé par nos hôtes et c’est véritablement une belle expérience basée sur le respect de l’animal). La situation de la pension sur l’île est parfaite pour découvrir les principaux sites de Moorea, de même que pour accéder aux commerces et commodités tout proches. Bref, nous avons été enchantés de notre séjour à la pension Poerani et si la chance nous ramène un jour à Moorea, c’est là-bas que nous retournerons!

Louise S. (New Zealand – August 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Wonderful hospitality

We loved our stay at Poerani. The accommodation was stylish, clean and had everything we needed. Our villa was tucked away in the garden for ultimate privacy and yet it was just a 10 second walk to the water. Stephane was a gracious and generous host. The supermarket was a few minutes walk away as were a number of places to eat. We also enjoyed getting around on the bikes and kayaks which were available for guests. We hired a scooter just for the day which was long enough to get around the island on the ring road. At the end of our stay we were so relaxed. A great place to stay if you are going to Moorea.

Jérôme L. (France – July 2018) / Suite Mata’i

Le paradis !

Sigolène R. (France – July 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Bungalows de charme à Moorea

Des bungalows très cosy et agréablement décorés pour passer quelques jours sur Moorea. La villa familiale est superbe et surtout en bordure de lagon. Stéphane est d’excellent conseil pour les activités à réaliser sur l’île. La dispo de vélos est bien pratique pour se déplacer en autonomie. Le petit magasin d’alimentation quasiment en face permet de se ravitailler pour les repas pris sur place, notamment les petit-déjeuners. Un lieu que nous recommandons.

Dominique M. (French Polynesia – July 2018) / Suite Mahana

Super !!

Excellent séjour dans un fare polynésien alliant tradition et modernité avec le meilleur goût. Des propriétaires à l’écoute et très réactifs. Je recommande cet établissement.

Nathalie R. (France – July 2018) / Villa Poerani

Très bon séjour à la Villa Poerani de Moorea

Nous étions six à partager la maison Poerani ; grands parents, parents et ados. Un bel espace de vie pour que chacun garde son intimité ; nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce beau fare. décoration de très bon gout ; nous étions comme chez nous car les propriétaires ont laissé leurs affaires en lieu. Bibliothèque, CD étaient à notre disposition. A 5 minutes à pied d’une superette et de quelques restaurants ou roulottes nous a permis de faire quelques achats facilement ou de nous restaurer. l’accès direct à l’océan était très agréable, face au lever et coucher du soleil. kayaks a disposition. L’accueil de notre hôte, Stéphane fut très chaleureux, toujours soucieux de notre bien être. Merciii pour tout.

Laurent B. (France – July 2018) / Suite Mahana

Cocooning propre bien décoré avec goût super accueil vue mer calme vélos.

Karine G. (France – July 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Le raffinement des lieux, la proximité des commerces et des restaurants, le cadre. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques.

Lyssa V. (USA – June 2018) / Suite Mahana

Perfect beach location

The owners of this property are just wonderful. It’s very hard to find accommodations on the beach (in Moorea) at such a reasonable price. This is the best location as it’s near to a grocery store and many restaurants. It’s a quick 5 minute bike ride to a “shopping center” with a bank, post office, cafe, stores, etc. For your use there are kayaks, snorkel gear,bikes and beach loungers. They also provide you with large beach towels. I like that our unit had a kitchen so we could make out own breakfast and lunch. It’s a quick 10 minute drive from the ferry where a taxi picked us up.We stayed in the Mahana Suite which is a 2 bedroom suite and it was very spacious and has a beach view from the deck. I will definitely stay here again.

Olivier G. (France – June 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Lieu d’exception!!! Hôtes formidables!

La localisation est parfaite! Franck et Stéphane sont aux petits soins. Ils ont su créer un lieu d’exception qu’on recommande chaleureusement!

Nadine T. (French Polynesia – Juin 2018) / Suite Mahana

Merveilleux séjour

Résidents en Polynésie depuis plusieurs années, nous connaissions bien Moorea et nous avons souhaité y passer quelques jours avec notre grande fille venue en vacances. Mon choix s’est porté sur cette pension pour sa proximité avec Maharepa et ses boutiques sympas et les diverses possibilités de restauration. Et bien sûr et surtout pour sa situation face au très beau lagon et au charme qu’elle dégageait d’apès les photos d’internet ! Je n’ai pas été déçue, (cela arrive parfois…), bien au contraire. Stéphane nous a super bien accueillis, extrêmement chaleureux, on le sent soucieux de notre bien-être et sait nous mettre à l’aise de suite. La suite Mahana où rien ne manquait est un régal pour les yeux. La décoration est d’un goût exquis, les couleurs superbes, nous avons adoré ! Et super important (pour mon mari et moi qui ne sommes plus tout jeunes…), la literie des deux chambres est au top ! Je ne regrette qu’une chose : ne pas pouvoir retourner dans cette pension lors de la venue de nos autres enfants à la fin de l’année, pour 6 personnes la magnifique villa nous comblerait mais elle ne sera pas libre et cela ne me surprend pas… Bravo, Stéphane et Franck pour un si beau résultat !

Diane G. (Canada – Juin 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Tout était parfait au Poerani (accueil chaleureux, hébergement impeccable et décoré avec tant de goût, à 2 minutes de l’épicerie, super belle plage privée). Stéphane a su rendre notre séjour super intéressant en réservant pour nous, soit un scooter, soit un safari en montagne, et en nous suggérant d’autres activités, tel un beau spectacle de danse polynésienne. Les bicyclettes gratuites ont rendu également nos vacances très agréables. Stéphane et Frank, deux personnes d’exception, on vous dit mille mercis !

Stéphanie T. (France – May 2018) / Suite Mahana

Un grand merci à Stéphane et Franck pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse et leur générosité ! C’était notre 1ere île et c’était magique ! La pension est très bien située, avec une superbe vue sur le lagon. Le petit déjeuner était génial ! Le prendre sur la terrasse vue sur le lagon c’était juste wouah ! Le bungalow était nickel : grand, propre, joli et avec une clim. De plus, des vélos, canoës, masque/tuba sont à disposition. Nous recommandons sans hésitation !

Christophe G. (France – May 2018) / Suite Mahana

Tout d’abord un grand merci à Stéphane et Franck pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse, leur présence (tout en sachant rester discrets) tout au long de notre séjour. La pension est splendide, les logements spacieux et fonctionnels, d’une propreté irréprochable. Le jardin est luxuriant et que dire de la plage privée donnant sur le lagon ! Tout ceci à proximité des commerces , restaurants, snacks et roulotte. Alors n’hésitez pas, découvrez cet endroit magique où le bonheur règne en permanence. Encore un grand merci pour ce séjour inoubliable.

Jess B. (USA – May 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

 Such a fantastic stay! Stephane and Franck helped set up a boat tour and knew all about all the best parts of Mo’orea! The bungalow was perfect for 1 or 2 people – a great size and nice and clean as well. Location was fantastic – walking distance to restaurants and resorts with parking should you rent a car or scooter (which I would recommend for one day at least). Would HIGHLY recommend!

Lisa G. (France – May 2018) / Suite Mata’i

La pension est idealement située et offre toutes les commodites. Les propriétaires nous ont accueilli chaleureusement et sont tres accueillants. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit où nous reviendrons.

Ed F. (USA – April 2018) / Suite Mahana

Relaxing

Highly recommended, had an awesome time, hosts were fantastic. Everytime I needed something they were right there and when I didn’t need anything it was just us! Very clean, beautiful property, with everything we needed allowing us to just relax and enjoy our vacation. Would stay there again for sure and I hope to someday!

Sheryl M. (USA – April 2018) / Villa

We just returned from staying at Poerani and it is a magical place! Stephane was an amazing host and exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again! This is a very family friendly place to stay. Our kids enjoyed being able to wake up and go snorkeling in a matter of minutes. We rented in the main villa and had plenty of space for our family of 5!

Andrew F. (USA – March 2018) / Villa

Wonderful house and superb hosts

Our family of 4 spent 5 nights in the main house and could not have had a nicer stay. Stéphane & Franck are wonderful hosts. The house and grounds are beautiful. And the location – swimming in front and walking distance to markets and restaurants – is fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.

Maté D. (USA – March 2018) / Suite Mata’i

While in French Polynesia, we spent 5 days in Moorea and 4 days in Bora Bora. Moorea was the highlight of our trip, and a big part of it is the Poerani hotel. If you want a local vibe, true island experience, don’t sleep on it and book a bungalow at Poerani. Once you enter the gate, it feels like you are in a spa, with beautiful vegetation, private and well spaced-out bungalows that are decorated in the most zen local fashion. Very quiet, relaxing, beautiful! Did I mention it comes with a private beach access? Clear blue, warm water for relaxing, or swim out for a refreshing dip in the deeper blue. It’s everything we were hoping for and more! Stéphane and Franck are so lovely, they do everything to make your stay enjoyable, yet you have complete privacy. We will be back for sure, if I could give 100 stars, I would!!!

Dyann L. (USA – March 2018) / Suite Mata’i

A wonderful waterfront property that offers several detached bungalows to choose from. Our one bedroom garden bungalow had a great kitchen, comfortable bed, updated bath and it’s clean throughout! The hosts are charming and welcoming! A great location on the gorgeous island of Moorea in French Polynesia!

Cheryl M. (USA – February 2018) / Property

A beautiful, authentic slice of French Polynesian paradise

We absolutely loved our stay at Poerani Morea and would highly recommend it to a large group traveling together—there were 8 of us, but the property could easily hold double that. Everyone had ample room to relax and spread out, and between the various kitchens, water-sport equipment (snorkeling gear and kayaks), and bikes, Poerani has everything you need to enjoy Moorea. The house is right on the water, and it’s merely steps from the deck to the lagoon. We felt very safe and secure there, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped and decorated with Polynesian statues. Also, all of the bedrooms are air-conditioned and have mosquito netting, which was a major plus, as it was quite humid while we were there.
Franck and Stephane were the perfect hosts—they were close by if we needed them, and they arranged transfers, tours, and activities for our group. They also have three sweet dogs and two cats who like to come over and snuggle, especially when you’re eating outside! 🙂 There are lots of geckos on the property, and they helpfully eat all of the mosquitos!
The location was perfect for us: there is a grocery store and a takeout pizza place, plus an excellent restaurant (Le Mahogany) within walking distance, and the Manava resort and town of Mahrepa are a slightly longer walk (or 5-minute bike ride) in the opposite direction. Many of the restaurants will come over to pick you up, which is incredibly convenient.
We can’t thank Franck and Stephane enough for the wonderful time we had!

Gregory C. (USA – January 2018) / Suite Mahana

Beautiful place in paradise!

We spent a week here, which was so relaxing and enjoyable that we’re ready to go back. With a private beach shared only with the other cabins and coral/ fish right off the beach, it was a great place to stay. We kayaked each day from shore to see more of the reef and snorkel with the fish. Nearly ever day we saw stingrays swim near the shore. The owners were kind and helpful arranging massages and recommending local places to eat. Each day they would stop by to say “Hi” and drop off fresh mangoes, bananas and passion fruit from the garden. The a/c made sleeping at night easy and quite comfortable. Thanks!

Elena D. (Italy – January 2018) / Suite ‘Ava’e

I proprietari sono stati meravigliosi nell’accoglienza e nell’aiutarci a organizzare possibili attività (nonostante il brutto tempo), a disposizione gratuita degli ospiti i Kayak e le biciclette, bellissimo reef davanti alla casa padronale, adorabili i cani e i gatti.

Nicolas K. (France – December 2017) / Suite Mahana

Merveilleux

Pour notre première visite en Polynésie, nous avons commencé notre périple à Moorea chez Stéphane et Franck. Que dire… la pension est magnifique, le bungalow décoré avec gout, le jardin idyllique avec au fond le lagon et ça vue paradisiaque ! Franck et Stéphane sont des hôtes très gentils et prévoyants, qui nous ont très bien conseillés sur les activitées à faire sur l’île. De plus il y a ce qu’il faut aux alentours, commerces et restaurants. Encore un grand merci à vous deux, nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux.

Dominique R. (France – November 2017) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Un séjour de réve dans une île de rêve

Comment ne pas tomber sous le charme de cette propriété avec accès directe au le Lagon de Mooréa. Dans une ambiance romantique, vous pouvez bénéficier des masques tubas et palmes, de canoës et de la parfaite gentillesse et du sens de l’accueil de Stéphane et Frank les propriétaires qui ne manqueront pqs de vous renseigner parfaitement sur la vie de Mooréa. Un séjour de réve dans une île de rêve…

Mayte L. (Spain – November 2017) / Suite Mahana

Paraíso real

Un lugar maravilloso llevado magníficamente por dos estupendos anfitriones. Silencio que solo se rompe con las olas batiendo la barrera de coral. Acceso directo a la laguna con arena fina. Un paraíso en el que te sentirás como en casa gracias a la amabilidad de los propietarios, sintiendo de verdad la vida de Moorea con todas las comodidades de un hotel pero con la autenticidad de un alojamiento pequeño, personal, privado y con gran sensibilidad. Sin duda, un acierto seguro.

Öllegard A. (Sweden – November 2017) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Fabulous laid back luxury

Stayed for six nights and didn’t want to leave. The ‘Ave’e suite has a Polynesian feel with a french tuch. The kitchen had everything I could wish for. You can’t see the ocean from the bungalow, but the garden is so beautiful (perfect place for yoga). The beachfront, with comfy chairs in the sun or shade, is a few steps away. Their web page says it all.

Marie-Laure L. (France – November 2017) / Suite Mata’i

Parfait

Tout ! L’accueil la propreté le calme et la sérénité des lieux la proximité de restos commerces…

Jim P. (USA – October 2017) / Suite Mahana

Had a great time here. Beautiful ocean view. Kayak and bikes to use. The hosts are delightful….

Cindy W. (USA – October 2017) / Property

We all enjoyed our stay at Poerani Moorea. We were a group of 8, four couples, and all had plenty of room and wonderful accommodations. We had privacy— each with our own villas and private bathrooms. The kitchen was very well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed our joint outside dining cabana! Stephane and Franck were very helpful and accommodating with our Island excursions! Highly recommend the Villa and would definitely stay there again!

Hank H. (USA – September 2017) / Suite Mahana

10 Stars!! Absolutely IN LOVE w/ this place!!!

My wife and I absolutely loved this place and Stephan and Franc. If you like the laid-back, low-key vacation spots, this is it. Very, very easy to get on Island time here.
This is the opposite of a resort. Its a quiet bungalow on the water.
The water out front is what we loved. We could see it from our porch, which is where we lived most of the time. We are also big divers/snorkelers and the water/reef system right off their beach is FANTASTIC!!. We snorkeled for an hour or so almost everyday right off their beach. LOVED IT!!
What makes it even better is that everything is right outside the gate of the property.
-Grocery stores in both directions, one in walking distance. My wife and I got fresh bread, food, beverages everyday. it’s so so easy.
–BRING A BACKPACK or something to carry your daily loads of groceries. You don’t need much, its not going far.
-resort and diving shop a short walk/bike ride.
-All the distances listed on their website are as-advertised. Very close.
-Mahogany restaurant within sight of the gate has great foie gras / french food.
The complementary bikes are good beach cruisers and bring a ton of restaurants in to the 10 min range. We loved lunch at the Moorea Beach Club. An easy bike ride.
The bungalow was fantastic as well. We had the 2-bedroom w/ water view. I had concerns with no A/C (I’m American and I sweat easily) but it was great. There was only one day/night that was on the warm side and the fan they provide worked really well at night when the breeze stopped. Also the big nets at night worked fantastic. My wife and I both loved having all the doors open and feeling the breeze in every room.
-One caveat is that you are on a property with other people (i.e., you can’t nude sunbath on your porch, at least not in private 🙂 but foot traffic from other guests is infrequent and didn’t both us much at all).
Stephan and Franc, I can’t say enough. they left us completely alone until we asked for help and then they bent over backwards to make sure we were good. Taxis, dinner reservations, mopeds, you name it. They spoke the language and helped us with everything. Just genuinely good people.

Guy M. (France – September 2017) / Suite Mahana

Ne cherchez pas c’est là qu’il faut aller , simplicité , accueil chaleureux , cadre idyllique. Stéphane et Franck vous donnerons toutes les clés pour passer un séjour agréable à Mooréa. Je recommande à 100%.

Sylvia G. (England – September 2017) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Self-catering luxury right on the lagoon

This accommodation exceeded our expectations, combining Polynesian style with Parisian flair.The location was glorious with stunning views and all the equipment to make the most of the lagoon. In fact Stephane and Franck had thought of everything in fitting out their bungalows and couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful, arranging car hire and tours. We have travelled much and I am very fussy but this place will stay long in the memory.

Marie Anne L. (France – September 2017) / Suite Mata’i

Proche de toutes les commodités. Bungalow très bien équipé et décoré. Calme. Hôtes accueillants. Vélo et kayak à disponibilité.

Alexandra H. (England – August 2017) / Suite Mata’i

Paradise for our honeymoon

Wow. Poerani is just beautiful! The bungalows are very private and there were fresh flowers on the bed when we arrived. It has everything you need for self catering and the patio is lovely to sit and eat meals at. The shop is less than a minute walk and sells lovely fresh food. The gardens are beautiful with flowers and tiki statues everywhere. I didn’t see one single gecko or creepy crawly in our hut! The beach – wow! It is quite shallow for about 20 metres – perfect for swimming to cool off. Then past that it drops off into the deep lagooon which is just STUNNING! Turquoise and full of rays and beautiful fish. There are kayaks to use to paddle out on the lagoon which we took out to the reef for more snorkelling. Most of the time we were the only two people here, so had the beach front area of the garden to ourselves. Sitting and watching the sunset is divine. Frankce and Stephane suggested we take the kayaks out on to the lagoon with a bottle of bubbly and tie ourselves to one of the buoys there…. which was just amazing. We went past other resorts which were full of people and we couldn’t wait to get back to our small private piece of paradise. In my eyes, Poerani offers everything that the bigger resorts offer (short walk to restaurants etc) but here you have seclusion and a more authentic experience. The hosts are LOVELY and helped us book day trips etc yet gave us total privacy the rest of the time. I cannot recommend this place enough, and my only regret is that we didn’t book longer here!!

Jérôme N. (French Polynesia – August 2017) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Très bon accueil de Stéphane et de Franck ,bungalow très propre, cuisine très bien équipée , tout le matériel est à disposition ( kayak , vélos , palmes , masques , tubas ). Nous logions dans le faré Ava’e doté d’une belle petite terrasse, à l’abri des regards ,et entouré d’un jardin très bien entretenu.
Bref super séjour …

Susanne P. (Germany – August 2017) / Suite Mahana

We enjoyed our stay and we thank our caring hosts. The bungalow is fantastic, the seaside calm and with wonderful sunsets. We got a efficient and honestly consultation regarding things to do here at Mo’orea. And there were nearly any mosquitoes…

Marisa G. (Argentina – July 2017) / Suite Mata’i

Excelente / la mejor opción en Moorea

Todo excelente. Stephane y Frank fueron super serviciales, nos asistieron en todo. El lugar es hermoso. Super recomendable

Sabine K. (France – July 2017) / Suite Mahana

N’hésitez pas Allez y !!!!

Quelle merveilleuse découverte en arrivant chez Franck et Stéphane. Une propriété très bien entretenue, des farés propres et récents bien décorés. Quel bonheur de pouvoir prendre le petit déjeuner face au lagon, de pouvoir découvrir les alentours avec les vélos de la pension. Proches des commerces et des roulottes. Merci à nos nos hotes d’avoir pris le temps de partager avec nous leurs connaissances et anecdotes sur Moorea. Si vous hésitez comme nous avant notre départ entre un hotel et la pension, il n’y a pas de doutes à avoir, nous vous recommandons celle-ci !

Marissa C. (Australia – July 2017) / Suite Mata’i

Beautiful and serene.

Loved the location and relaxed vibe. Great place to take in the beauty of French Polynesia. Awesome hosts. Loved the bikes. Actually, I loved it all! There was nothing I could find fault with.

Jürgen M. (Germany – June 2017) / Suite ‘Ava’e

Top-Unterkunft im Tropengarten

Die private Ferienresidenz ist perfekt gepflegt mit tropischem Garten und privatem Zugang zur kristallklaren Lagune von Moorea. Stephane und Franck sind perfekte Gastgeber und kümmern sich liebevoll um ihre Gäste, die Bungalows sind mit allen Details ebenso sorgfältig ausgestattet und äußerst sauber. Da nur drei Bungalows auf der Anlage sind, lebt es sich privat wie zu Hause. Das optional angebotene Frühstück ist seinen Preis (16 Euro/Person) mehr als wert und wird nach Wunsch morgens in einem sorgfältig zusammengestellten Korb mit selbst gemachten Zutaten gebracht. Sogar die Tischdecke fehlt nicht. Die Küchenzeilen der Bungalows sind perfekt ausgestattet, sehr sauber und ansprechend. Betten einwandfrei mit Moskitonetzen und Ventilatoren. Kein Ungeziefer! Die Bäder sind ebenso sauber und appetitlich. Wäschewechsel wöchentlich. Die Gastgeber sind mit Tipps zu Ausflügen und Restaurants jederzeit ansprechbar und behilflich, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Moorea ist ein Südseetraum und hatmit dieser Unterkunft den passenden Rahmen! Jederzeit und sicher werden wir zurückkommen zu Stephane und Franck!

Genea I. (New Zealand – June 2017) Suite Mahana

Lovely hosts and the location is breathtaking. Our villa was wonderful and we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable and fun as possible. Franck and Stephane will help you with anything you need and are so welcoming and friendly. We loved everything about our stay at poerani.

Pascal P. (France – May 2017) / Suite Mahana

Petit paradis

La vue, le bungalow et sa petite plage privée, tout était conforme à notre attente. Franck et Stéphane sont très sympa et au petit soins. Pour les personnes n’ayant pas l’habitude d’avoir des animaux n’ayez aucune crainte Bartaban et les deux chats sont présents mais non envahissants. c’est notre meilleur séjour dans les îles de la société.

Alan R. (Australie – May 2017) / Suite Mahana

Moorea at its best

Well appointed comfortable traditional Tahitian bungalow with lagoon views (10m away ), set in well kept private garden with 2 other bungalows and Owners residence (Pension) . Swim and snorkel straight off the lawn and white sand bottom.We were included in a friendly group although separate and apart. Good kitchen. Close to range of shops , restaurants and the Manava Resort ( 4 stars ).

Jessica T. (Germany / New Zealand – April 2017) / Suite Mahana

10/10 … would stay again in a heartbeat

Poerani Moorea is a truly wonderful place to stay. The hosts, Stephane and Franck, were extremely welcoming and always happy to give recommendations and help with bookings. The property is in walking distance to a supermarket and restaurant and you can easily cycle into Maharepa village and beyond to the lovely bays or even all the way around the island courtesy of the complementary bikes. The three bungalows are set in a lovely garden from which you can walk straight into the lagoon for a snorkel. Or grab a complementary kayak and explore the lagoon that way. We saw stingrays, an eagle ray as well as a turtle alongside plenty of other fish and coral while snorkelling just there. The garden and its sun loungers are also the perfect location to watch the spectacular sunsets. We stayed at Fare Mahana, a two bedroom bungalow with lagoon views from one bedroom and the kitchen and deck, and were completely smitten with the traditional design, decor and views. We found the beds to be very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and we loved being able to sit on the deck with a view of the lagoon. Having read some other reviews, I just want to note that this fare has no aircon but ceiling and standing fans. We found that to be sufficient despite the heat and humidity that comes with a tropical holiday. Also, visiting geckos are part of the fun of being in a tropical location! 

Shawna M. (USA) – April 2017 / Suite ‘Ava’e

Stephane and Franck’s place the Poerani (meaning pearl of the sea) is the perfect place to stay in Moorea. Its located on the part of the island close to all the nicest restaurants, shopping, and beaches. The place is gorgeous with darling island decor and just enough privacy for each bungalow. They were the kindest hosts going out of their well to help me with my rental car fiasco. It was a dream trip! Mauruuru!

Amanda W. (New Zealand) – April 2017 / Villa Poerani

An Idyllic Family Holiday

We just loved our holiday staying in Stephane and Franck’s beautiful beachfront home. Just being able to walk out the front door and into the sea to snorkel amongst the colourful fish was like a dream come true. The villa was very well equipped and comfortable. Stephane and Franck were always available for advice on where to go and what do do and they were spot on with their suggestions. Our favourite day was renting an outboard boat and snorkeling between the motu further around the island, and picnicking on the beach. Memorable!!! We walked to the 2 local supermarkets daily for fresh fish (poissin cru and sashimi were a daily fixture at our table!!) and fresh French pastries – yum!! Having a rental car was ideal as it meant we had flexibility to go where we wanted, when we wanted. The local restaurant Le Mahogany was excellent, and also Snack Mahana for lunch, both recommended by our lovely hosts. Staying in a holiday home was far preferable to a resort for us and our teenage family – we felt far more connected to the people and place where we were holidaying. We were so sad to leave, and already planning a return to this truly beautiful place. Thank you Stephane and Franck for sharing your paradise with us.

Johanna V. (French Polynesia) – April 2017 / Suite Mata’

Stephane and Franck are wonderful hosts. Their property is very well maintained. The bungalow was super clean and had everything we needed. The location was good. Not too far from anything on the island. I like that the property is gated as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their place to anyone!

A very relaxing week in paradise

2 couples enjoyed the Poerani Villa on the Island of Moorea for a whole week. Our hosts were so helpful & nothing was too much trouble for them they booked our taxi for a day, they booked our snorkelling trip & they recommend happy hour @ the local resort Their villa is well equipped with lots of extra dishes etc in the kitchen. The linens were just lovely. The welcome flowers were such a nice treat. We especially loved the ‘ outdoor’ dining room. The villa is well situated on the lagoon with an amazing swimming/snorkelling beach @ the front door. The kayacks were also well used. We walked 1/2 block each morning for our fresh baquet each morning. This was a great stay.

Bernard R. (France) – February 2017 / Suite Mahana
