This pension is one of the very few reasonably priced options ($90 US for a garden-view room) on Moorea.  The hotel has about 6 bungalows, and an open-air dorm ($20 per person).

Our room was very spacious, and very pretty – lots of windows, room safe, clean, good bathroom and shower.  Negatives for the room were the lack of screens on the windows – so if you want cooling, you risk the wrath of the mosquitoes.  To make things worse, the overhead fan had no noticeable effect. The room was not bug free – we had small flying insects infest one of our packs, and I saw a roach scatter out of sight when I walked into the bathroom.

The facilities of the hotel aren’t great.  There is no beach. There is a jetty, with a ladder down into the water.  There is some very nice snorkeling right off the jetty.  However, the water often wasn’t that clean – most of the time, broken off prickly sea plants would float by, but on the last day, it was quite windy, and there was a constant stream of these plants (mixed in with some garbage).

There are complementary kayaks for the guests to use, which is a very nice touch.  The kayaks are in good shape, and we had a nice paddle into Cook’s Bay next door.

The food at the restaurant is reasonably priced (for French Polynesia!).  Cheeseburger for $12, fries $5, beer $5.  The restaurant has fantastic views of the lagoon.  The pizza is quite good as well, and large enough for 2 people to share.

Besides hanging out at the hotel kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, and talking to other guests, we drove around the island for a day, and also went horseback riding.
