Excellent beach, outstanding restaurant (do not go anywhere else to eat! we tried one place outside and deeply regretted it, the restaurant is amazing), friendly staff! We were in the cheap Garden Rooms. They are perfectly fine, and you don´t go to Moorea to stay in the room, we just needed a bed to crash after a day of sunbathing... more

I was very positively suprised by Les Tipaniers hotel, since I red a few bad reviews on Trip advisor before booking. All bungalows were full so I booked one of the three "cheap" (7500 CFP) garden rooms, were we sateyd for one night. - room was very clean, spacious. Of course don't expect a typically polynesion architecture or decoration -... more

We stayed at the Les Tipaniers hotel from April 12-15, 2009. We stayed in the cheapest room (I believe garden view room- it cost about $100/night including all taxes/fees). The hotel has a GORGEOUS beach- one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The food from the restaurants is very good and affordable (considering the prices of French Polynesia-... more

The staff went out of their way to return some lost property for which we were most grateful. The drive to the hotel, and the hotel itself, were in an outstandingly beautiful location. We enjoyed the use of the free bicycles especially to purchase provisions as we found the kitchen in the bungalow most useful. It was enjoyable to use... more

After all the great reviews which encouraged us to book Les Tipaniers, we didn't expect the very frosty welcome my African wife and I got, even though I greeted the staff in French - such a contrast to other comments made here - was it because we are English? It really shook us up. We were in bungalow 8 -... more

The location is right by the beach, and reasonably near other restaurants. The room was OK, and had a safebox, but poorly designed, and there was little attention to detail (the flimsy curtains didn't meet in the middle, and things like that). The staff were fairly helpful, but didn't exactly go out of their way. more

This is kind of a tough place to review, because we loved the beach and the water as much as we hated the garden bungalow we had. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but there were things about our room that made our stay here disappointing. It was very hot when we were there, and the complete lack of a breeze and... more

A quiet. good value hotel with simple but very comfortable bungalows, some with small kitchens. Good beach bar for breakfast, lunch and drinks, and a particularly good restaurant for evening meals. Diving and kayak companies are based at the hotel, and hire cars can easily be arranged by reception - for example Avis is based at the nearby Intercontinental hotel... more

I also stayed at les tipaniers iti the smaller location down the road. It has 8 bungalows on a small compound with a house occupied by one of the big hotels staff. there is no beach here, but there is a deck where you can swim and snorkel from and where the blossoms from the trees drift on the mirror... more
