Good: it's right on the beach. Kayaks are available for guests at no cost. Nice breakfast area overlooks the beach.
Bad: Description of the 2 bedroom is misleading and fraudulent. It is NOT 2 bedrooms. The tiny loft has a Double size mattress on the floor! The main floor has a queen size bed and a bunk bed. The place is shabby and badly in need of repair and upgrade. The heating element in the kitchen is an ancient hot plate that takes a long time to heat up. The windows and patio door have no screens. Hence bugs can and do fly in. I got bug bites on my legs while sleeping. just a small soap is provided and no shampoo. just a small soap. The bunk bed is rickety. The pillows and pillow covers were ancient and need replacing. The towels were thin. The owner is stingy with the breakfast. just some fruit, croissant and coffee. No eggs or other protein. The polynesian workers are really nice and helpful.

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.
Great property and beach. not many eateries close by, really need a bike or scooter which Maheata do provide

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.

Great little spot
Amazing location and very comfortable bed. I suggest you bring your own pillow. Very, very basic place. Minimal breakfast but still nice. Best to have a car if you stay here. Staff was very friendly and nice.

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.
The breakfast was traditional for the islands which means no eggs, no bacon no sausage. Basically it was island tradition meaning Baggot rolls and papaya and orange juice. Anything else was extra. If it was available at the time I was there not readily available, which is understandable you have to go with a flow if you’re not used to it then it can be a culture shock but when in Rome do is Romans do in this case Tahiti do us Tahitians do

Was nice to see the bananas vegation and being on the ocean shore.
Was not prepared to not have hand soap washcloths ect,the hot water was very tempormential all in all the staywas enjoyable
Fare Maheate is a great place to relax, do some swimming or snorkeling. Excursions with a separate outfit are available. Jean is offering rides to the supermarket, if needed, but meals can be ordered at the pension.
The beach leads gradually into deeper water, which appeals to some swimmers. Just a great place to relax.

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.

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.
They have a beautiful beach
Originally those who built the place did a beautiful job
In at least the last 15 years it has not been well kept
Untidy… not cared for security details
The Manager was rude to me

Great beachfront! Free kayak! Laundry service was awesome. Friendly workers! Price is just accurate. They offered us their French Polynesian dishes. The fishes and white rice with coconut milk were very delicious! We would love to come back. Until next time! ❤️
