This is my second visit to this idyllic spot in Moorea. A family run group of budget rustic cottages on the lagoon next door to the Hilton. The onsite restaurant serves very high quality food and a simple breakfast is included. The hotel sits oceanfront on a beautiful area of the lagoon with rays, sharks and fish cruising by all day. Air conditioned rooms which is rare in Tahiti and kayaks included, good for family on a budget.

You get what you pay for. But the star-ranking is not comparable with accommodations in the USA. This is not a 2 1/2 star hotell. Cleanliness in the shared bathrooms and shared dormitory is way bellow a standard I am willing to accept. The bungalows are ok. The staff is very nice, they play great music. They have good food to order. The beach is fine. Kayaks are available and that was great.

On a budget this place gets 5 stars! The location is gorgeous and the staff really friendly. The only drawback is transportation, but that's the entire island not this pensions issue. Best to rent a car or scooter for Moorea period.

The property was right on a beautiful lagoon filled with coral, fish, rays and a few small sharks. The restaurant is facing the water and is really cute and the food is great. Only a short walk away is the Moorea Hilton which has the best crepes. Kayaks and paddle boards were included in the nightly fee which was really nice.

This is a family run pension with friendly staff, set on a picturesque private beach. The fish swim right up to the shore, there are comfortable chairs and tables on the beach and a stunning view of the sunset each night. The accomodation is basic but clean. The restaurant has wonderful platters/tapas and an excellent drink selection. You need a vehicle to access the supermarket and ATM. We would return again.

Fare Maheata is a great place run by a local family, all of whom are friendly and helpful. It provides simple comfortable accomodation with fans & aircon, full kitchen and bathroom, and everything you need for a great stay. The best part is the beautiful white sand beach on which it is located, where you eat lunch with your feet in the water (if you wish). Rays and fish swim by as you eat breakfast. It has a restaurant, open 5 days a week, and provides a simple breakfast if you want it. A great place at a very affordable price.

I loved the location. A rental car was offered at a very reasonable rate. The view from the beach is mind-blowing. Having lunch with your feet in the water and fish swimming around is an unforgettable experience. Our annoyance was that the bungalow was sold as 2-bedroom, when it is essentially one large room with beds for 5 in it. Other than that, we loved our stay.

Loved every second of it. The property itself is so serene and beautiful…right on the beach. The coral right in front of the restaurant was some of the best we saw in all of Moorea, with sharks and rays and colorful reef fish just off shore. The restaurant is exceptional. The rooms are simple but clean and include a kitchen that helps to save money on meals (French Polynesia can be expensive). All of the staff were helpful and welcoming, especially the maintenance guy who helped us with all our needs. We definitely plan to return.

Great small quiet beach and covered area overlooking ocean. Rustic bungalows that are commensurate with the price. Good for budget conscious families. Our bungalow (closest to road) had a queen sized bed, set of bunk beds, and an upstairs loft that could also sleep 2 additional people. Functional kitchenette with fridge/freezer. Place had lots of open closets and storage shelves. Due to us checking in on day restaurant was closed, absolute minimum interaction with staff. Tip: the Thai take-away restaurant close by is great and best meal deals on Moorea

At Fare Maheata my kids and I felt so safe. The kids were epic the water all the time. Breakfast was simple but so appreciated. We had issues with ants in our bungalow but learned to live with them. I limited my ability to eat and cook there though. We felt like part of the community. Would return for sure.

Nice location, beautiful beach. We were frustrated that we got 1 bedroom bungalow instead 2 bedroom we were paying for. Also, the were too many mosquitoes inside the house and we had to buy mosquito killer devices which I believe property should have provided. Otherwise amazing location and beach with great snorkeling.

Do not stay in a shared dormitory

Only stay here if you are truly on a budget and want to share everything with other guests. The shared dormitory is full with mosquitoes, has no air conditioning. Their bookings are non refundable for a reason. The property had a nice view though.
