Independent - accommodation in Hauru

I have read many reviews on Manava and chose to come here for a holiday. It far exceeded my expectations. From a huge mess up on my part, booked 2027 instead of 2026, they went above and beyond to help me. Particularly the manager Maeva was exceptional in assisting me with all things (other mess ups like leaving stuff at previous hotel). I can’t say enough about the staff here including the front desk staff including Elsa and another manager (man) all were exceptional in customer service. The food was delicious and the staff was excellent as well. I went snorkelling early in the morning and saw two turtles, a shark and 2 rays. I used the paddle boards and infinity pool. I loved that this hotel was small. They really take care of you. Hope to be back. Thank you for helping me have a wonderful holiday in beautiful Moorea.

First of all, Moorea is beautiful!! Very quiet, not crowded and very peaceful. NIU Beach Resort has very upscale beach bungalows steps from the water. We snorkeled from the beach - super clear and lots of coral. We also kayaked daily which was very fun. The bungalow is perfectly equipped - very thoughtful and beautiful. Only breakfast is available to purchase on-site, but restaurants and small groceries are bikeable (bikes provided for free) or walkable. Perfect for adult travelers!

The Moorea Lagoon and Spa should definitely be on the top of your list, the accommodations were clean and are exactly as advertised. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. My wife is Celiac with allergies to Rice, Oats and Soy and each restaurant on site went out of their way to ensure that there was a meal she could eat and enjoy. Even went so far as to make her something that was not on the menu but was fitting for her dietary needs. I would highly recommend staying here and if you can, go for the premium panoramic view over the water bungalows, the sunsets were absolutely stunning.
