Maeva! The exceptionally beautiful Tahitian islands extend a warm welcome in the native Polynesian tongue, and invite you to discover new levels of luxury, indulgence, and rejuvenation. Just ten miles in length, the heart-shaped island of Moorea is home to aromatic hibiscus, sparkling sapphire waters, and Manava Beach Resort and Spa Moorea. Lavish accommodations of this eye-catching resort abutting the Pacific include spacious single and family guestrooms, as well as garden and beach bungalows. The most striking features of the resort, however, are the overwater bungalows: 28 luxurious thatched roof dwellings that look as if poised on the calm, shallow water. Glass bottom spaces in each bungalow offer breathtaking views of the ecologically friendly underwater landscape below. Water at your feet, beach along the horizon, and endless possibilities make Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa the only destination for your next vacation.

Rooms and location are beautiful, it's right at the seaside, you get to swim in the ocean or dip in the pool. I'd recommend either garden pool bungalows - that have their own pool - or overwater bungalows - that have direct access to the ocean. The hotel offers free kayaks and paddle boards, which are awesome. The service ranged from fabulous (Andy at the towel service and restaurant team) to mediocre (check in experience). Walkaways between cottages are overrun with mud when it rains, so expect to be barefoot and have muddy feet all the time. Cottages lack some basic amenities like conditioner, which is surprising considering the steep price charged.

Our family of four stayed in the overwater bungalows. It was a once in a lifetime experience sleeping over the coral pools and snorkeling from our patio! The resort is peaceful and relaxing and the restaurants are good. The staff is sweet and considerate and couldn't be nicer. Manava attracts couples and families with no loud music or party vibe. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend Manava to others.

This place was a small property, which is what I liked. I was very peaceful and beautiful. We stayed in a beach bungalow and it was so nice having the beach just steps from your room. There were so many fish in the water that we went snorkeling right there. The property was well maintained and the staff were super friendly. The breakfast buffet was nice and had a good variety of foods. I would definitely go back.

Such a beautiful resort and great location walkable to local restaurants. You can snorkel right outside the over water bungalows but the lagoon tour that you can book through the hotel concierge is incredible and you should do that too.

We purchased a 5-night package in the overwater bungalow at Moorea Pearl Resort and it was absolutely FABULOUS, even better than advertised! I loved every second. It was a long-held dream come true for me to stay in one of those wonderful bungalows. It was off-season, but with great good luck the weather was perfect every day. And of course it was a fantastic value - we never could have done it otherwise! Luxury Link makes it possible for ordinary people to do some extraordinary things, and I'm very grateful for that.
