Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea

Staff was adorable, view is amazing, we spent a wonderful time

Nice hotel, clean and nice room, good area, close to many shops and restaurants, which is nice because the hotel restaurant is very expensive compared to the other restaurants in the area. We stayed for our honeymoon and they arranged a flower spread on our bed and also gave us cookies one day. Kind of disappointed breakfast was not included in our rate which was already pretty expensive, ended up going off property for this as well. Enjoyed the free kayak rentals and beautiful infinity pool.

We stayed at the Manava Resort and
Spa for our 25th wedding anniversary and my birthday. They really made our stay special
They had happy anniversary written in flowers on our bed and Chilled Champaign waiting for us!
The location was great, walkable to local restaurants and food market.
The Manava has a Polynesian feel and decor.
Facility is very nicely kept and food was also very good.
The lagoon is great for snorkeling as it is filled with beautiful fish!
We highly recommend it!!!

We stayed over the water in a bungalow. Was wonderful.
The restaurant was ok. We were able to walk to some shopping and a few other restaurants. The staff were very nice.

We stayed in the garden view room. It was probably one of the worst rooms on their property as the lock was broken and there was a open space in the door so small geckos or lizards could get in and of course it explained how there were so many mosqitos in our room. The walls just need a good wipe down as they were quite dirty as well. We are easy going people and did not complain about this but informed them of this when done. The food in the bar was okay. We chose to eat else where for most of the stay. Other than that the pool and beach is super nice and staff was pleasant. The polynesian show was very good!

We rented a bungalow and thought it was beautiful. We were in 401 which was right next to a rather busy dock that continually brought boats with anywhere from10 to 30 people and took away from the quiet enjoyment and relaxation and since we were only there for one night, it was quite disappointing. So I would recommend this hotel but if they try to put you in bungalow 401 politely decline and ask for a different placement.

Everyone was so very friendly and helpful. The room was

Our over the water bungalow was wonderful! The resort was beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful, and the restaurant food was good.

This was our first time ever in Tahiti, plus our Honeymoon so we had no clue what we were expecting. Once we arrived we were told the market was a five minute walk away and some shops as well. After exploring our room and property we went on the five minute walk. That was the best advice we had received. Not only was it a loco market ( we rather support loco than a company) the verity of different fresh made foods were amazing. We would stock up on breakfast lunch and dinner each day and as-well as drinks for the room ( both alcoholic and non ) , and BELIVE me you are gonna save HUGE going that route. Just doing that one day would be one dinner at the restaurant in the resort. Plus you can interact with the locos which are so welcoming. Plus my luck I revived the worst ear infection after the 3 day , now knowing being called “ Tropic Ear “ , the drs office was also across the street from the market and the pharmacy was only 10 minutes up the road. After spend our whole week there we found out this resort had everything around them with in a 5-10 min walk, when other reports you will need to book a car , taxi or scooter to get around. Oh by the way you can go wrong with the BEAUTIFUL sunsets on the main door of the bungalows.

The Manava was the perfect choice for our stay in Moorea.

Merci pour un super séjour dans votre belle propriété. Nous y avons été vraiment bien. Avoir 2-3 options végétariennes supplémentaires sur le menu auraient été les bienvenues mais en tant que végétariens nous sommes probablement en minorité.

Views were spectacular

After seeing the general conditions in the island, Manava is a somewhat good resort to stay at. That being said, I would never come back to the resort again or recommend it. We loved the snorkeling around the bungalows. However, staying in the garden bungalow was not worth it and none of the pools are heated. I was really disappointed with the bugs in the room and high cost of food. The staff were generally nice and attentive to our needs as they arise. Overall, after paying so much to stay here, I would say to definitely book somewhere else.

It’s underrated

The Over the Water bungalow experience was great and the bungalow was well designed and comfortable.

Food and drinks were all exceptional. The option for food at the one restaurant all day is great in addition to the fancier restaurant that has specific hours. The bed is very comfortable and AC worked well. Attention to detail like night stand lamps, showers out by lounge chairs, etc.

I’m not sure why they rent out beach bungalows 302 and 303 though. We were on our honeymoon and wanted a relaxing escape. These are right next to 301 which is the scuba shop. They start talking and loading gear at 6:30am. The garbage trucks come at 3, 4, 5am near there, and they are right by the concrete pier where locals jump into the ocean. Between kids screaming, loud music, and just noise, it was not relaxing many hours of the day. There are a lot of beachfront options on the other side of the complex that I really wish we’d been able to enjoy.

Beautiful property. Clean and well kept. Friendly people.

Beautiful property and close to the shops.

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.

Staff is very polite and attentive. Excellent property!
