great location, comfortable beach front villa/chalet, very friendly staff, nice food, private swimming

a bit worn bathroom fittings but minor effect

Motu Iti was a great place to stay! I'm not sure why the rating isn't higher. You can get a beachfront hut for the best price on the island. Now, you need to know in advance that there is no A/C and no Breakfast included with the beach or garden hut rentals. But it was comfortable enough with open windows and the fan running. And, you have a mini fridge for drinks and small snacks. The beach is gorgeous, and the dock is a great place to hang out. The wifi worked great. I was out exploring the Island during most meal times but the one thing I ordered from the restaurant was tasty. I would absolutely return here whenever I'm back in Moorea! The staff was so nice and helpful, too. Hope to see you all again!

Near by the sea. it has great views in the morning

It is a total black hole when it is dark. there is not even light outside in common area.

It’s near the lagoon. You can access it from a wood trail gazebo. I have seen a gentle shark and many fishes.

the location is lovely, it has a jetty that goes out into the lagoon that you can snorkel and swim off, the breakfast that was included in the price was really nice

one of the staff wasn’t the most friendly but the 2 ladies were, it doesn’t have a safe/locker to keep you valuables in, it is very simple which I was happy with but if you are more high maintenance it’s probably not for you

the location is AMAZING. you are right on the waterfront with a pontoon that goes out into the water that you can go snorkelling from. The breakfast is included in the price and lovely and plentiful (papaya, pineapple, avocado, baguette, jam, butter, tea/coffee/hot chocolate, and a juice).

they don’t provide mosquito nets. luckily I had my own but if you don’t you will be bitten a lot.

Friendly staff, perfect location in front of the beach. nice place to snorkel with a view of the Hilton ans about a one minute drive away.

there was only one kayak to use :(

Toilet is a hole, when I saw the place I run away. The room is no room, is a rooftop with no doors or windows. I left as soon as I arrived. The woman in reception is careless and when I asked for help to get out of the property she refused to help.

the family hosts were very kind & helpful! food delicious!😍

if you didn’t check into dorm room early you didn’t get a fan!🙁 they need more fans maybe less beds? they weren’t all taken the night I was there but if they had been it would not have been so great.

Location was good

The owner forced us to pay in cash saying the amount was too small (6100 xpf) Even restaurants accept credit card for an order above 2500 so that doesn't make sense.

morning view from the bungalow free kayak

be a little be more flexible and accommodating with guests (we asked for two soaps and it was almost difficult to get one!) dogs barking all night

location

floor inside the room is not stay 😫when you walk on it , lots of sound which can waking you up. bathroom is complete function, no hot water when you need.

kayaks and location female staff were sweet free breakfast

my last night a noisy large group kept me up till midnight - several funny rules & regulations

It is literally at the seaside! You can see the sunsets from the pier and take the free kayak out to explore in the morning. There is also a restaurant on the site so you can have your meals right in there. I was using the restaurant tables for working during the daytime. The WiFi was very good there!

The dormitory room above the reception is very very basic. There are not even lockers for your things. It is open to nature so all the street sounds are gonna enter the room early in the morning (it gets quite loud). The closest shop is quite far - it took me an hour to walk there. The food in the restaurant is very basic...

The free breakfast was very good. Everyday I had one fresh banana, two slices of pineapple, hot chocolate, juice and baguette. I liked that you have direct access to the ocean and it's just a few steps away. The house over the water was very cool, where you could spend the time.

One night they put 22 beds instead of the 12 beds in the dorm room. Every bed had a person. That was horrible! And that they do it in Corona times. Unbelievable! And cleaning the bathroom? That's nothing they do. The bathroom was during my 4 nights stay always dirty. They didn't clean it.

Great location for snorkeling. Love the hospitality of Herongi. She is very kind and watching out for the guests. Very pleased with my three days vacation here.

Will be helpful if there is minimal kitchen facilities such as water kettle/ microwave, cup, plate, and silverware.

I just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Pension Motu Iti. We had a beach front bungalow and this has to be about as close as you can get to having your own private overwater bungalow, although it is next to the water rather than over water, and the price is right. The room and bathroom are large and nicely/romantically decorated and there is a lovely beachfront porch with a sliding glass door. You can view the water right from the bed. After reading the reviews, I expected this place to be crowded and noisy, as there is a hostel section, but it was more like our own private oasis, as we were aware of only about 5 other people at the whole property. There is a small dock with a sitting area that one can walk out on and walk down the ladder into the ocean/lagoon. We saw 5 kayaks available for use and I think we were the only ones that used them. We brought our own snorkeling gear, so we would take the kayaks out about a half mile west by the Hilton OWB where there is some of the best snorkeling on the island. There is a restaurant at the property, although prices are a bit high. Because of covid 19, we preferred to make our own food, so we had some groceries that we were able to fit in the small refrigerator in our room. It would have been nice to have a cooktop or microwave, but we knew ahead of time that none was available, so we planned on cold brew coffee, and brought our own water filtration device. The sunsets were breathtaking. The grocery store is quite a walk away. The Rotui juice factory and the Tropical gardens are walkable. We had already been on the "magic mountain" hike but that was fairly close, as well. We arrived by ferry from Tahiti and were able to take the bus from the ferry terminal to this property. There were some barking dogs and roosters on the properties next door, so ear plugs at night could be helpful.

The Hostel is located directly at the beach, you have a great view from the jetty and Restaurant. You can rent the canoes for free, which is a very good Service! Thanks for that. The Coral reef in front of the hotel is great, if you don't mind the plants that are swimming on the surface.

We booked on booking.com including breakfast, but the Lady of the Hostel said, that the breakfast was just included for me and not for my son. We should have paid extra for his breakfast, what we didn't do, so we had to share mine. The owner of the Hostel and one Lady of the Staff were very Kind. The other Lady was many times not even answering, when we said "Bonjour" or "Thank you". You always got the feeling that you were bothering her. The fact, that you can't sit in the Restaurant after 8 p.m. because they just switch off the Lights, makes you feel not really welcome, like: " please eat your dinner and then just go"
