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.

Where do I start. We went to check in. He told us it’s unsafe for us as it’s form style living. No AC
In the ad said we had our own room and AC, don’t trust this place

Location, location, location! Fare Maheata has the best snorkeling from their beach. See tons of fish, stingrays, and even reef sharks. Also enjoy a stunning sunset right from their beach.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! ❤️
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.
