Beliebte 4-Sterne-Hotels in Moorea

Der Aufenthalt im Fenua Mata’i’oa bleibt dem Gast aus verschiedenen Gründen in superguter Erinnerung. Da ist zum einen das Meer direkt vor dem kleinen Hotel: Die Lagune ist wunderschön und der Gast lebt mit einem direkten Einstieg in das warme Wasser, das voller Fische ist. Und da ist der fantastische Garten. Eileen, optisch ein wenig die jüngere Schwester von Brigitte Bardot, hat sich hier mit ihrem Mann einen Traum verwirklicht und an der Lagune einen umwerfend dichten tropischen Garten angelegt, in dem fünf Suiten in einem charmanten Mix aus Kolonialstil, Fin de Siècle und Asien liegen, in der Mitte ein Hauptgebäude, das in seiner Einrichtung die Stilelemente der Suiten wiederholt und überbietet. Unsere Suite (Princess Lokelani) besteht aus zwei Häusern, verbunden durch einen überdachten Garten mit Schaukelstuhl. Im Haupthaus findet sich das Bett nebst Schreibtisch, Schrank und zwei großen Kolonialsesseln, einer davon im Zebramuster. Im anderen Haus liegt das Bad mit Badewanne, Waschtischen und Sitzgelegenheiten. Verbunden ist das Ganze durch einen schönen überdachten eigenen Garten. Davor liegt eine Terrasse mit mehreren Ebenen, die tiefere direkt über dem Wasser. Eileen ist Katzenliebhaberin und so finden sich überall hübsche Katzen, die nicht aufdringlich sind, sondern nur daliegen und sich gerne kraulen lassen. Am Abend kommen Haie und Rochen vor die Terrasse, keine Angst: Es ist nur die ungefährliche und unproblematische Sorte Schwarzspitzenhai mit einer Größe von ca. 1,5 m. Eileens Mann kocht umwerfend und so entschlossen wir uns beim ersten Abendessen spontan, erst gar nicht über Ernährungsalternativen nachzudenken, zumal wir am Nachmittag des Ankunftstages in der Nachbarschaft des Hotels einen kleinen Mittagssnack eigenommen haben und enttäuscht waren. Umwerfend ist das Blütenmeer, in dem der Gast täglich gebadet wird. Immer steht ein üppiger Strauß Blumen im Zimmer, das Essen wird umwerfend schön dekoriert mit immer neuen floristischen Meisterwerken. Alles stammt aus Eileen’s eigenem Garten. Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten: Trotz aller Makellosigkeit haben wir uns über Mosquitos geärgert. Vor allem an feuchten Tagen ließen sich die Quälgeister mit unserem lokalen Spray nicht abhalten. Wer hier her kommt, muss ein wirksames Repellent dabei haben oder eines kaufen, sonst wird der Genuss getrübt. Und: Wir haben pro Person pro Tag in der Suite „Princess Lokelani“ mit üppiger Halbpension, jeden Abend Wein und ausreichend Drinks 289 € bezahlt. Der Aufenthalt ist teuer, keine Frage. Relativiert wird diese Feststellung dadurch, dass in Französisch Polynesien nichts billig und vor allem das Preisniveau auf Moorea wirklich hoch ist. Wer die Schmerzen ein wenig lindern will, kauft im nahegelegenen Supermarkt ein, aber auch dort sind die Preise hoch. Und noch etwas lindert den Schmerz: Der Aufenthalt im nahegelegenen InterContinental kostet das Vierfache, aber wenn man nach den Bildern geht, ist es im Fenua Mata’i’oa einfach

So we were staying on Tahiti but planned a day trip by ferry/car to Morrea. After sunset we planned to return to the port to take the ferry back to Tahiti. We got back to the port but no ferry! There happened to be a girl there so I asked if it's late. She said no ferry till the next day!! (I had booked the wrong day) She was on the fone with someone in French and finally said...come over here! So Timmy showed up and he happened to be the supervisor at the Manava. After speaking with his friend at the front desk, even though the resort was sold out, Timmy was able to offer us a very special, low rate that even included breakfast. Still stunned we drove to the resort and saw his friend (sorry his name starts with L) checked us in and helped us with other questions we had AND then take us to our room to show us around. We were treated to a garden bungalow (pictured) with private pool and garden. The room itself was enormous with all amenities and comfort. After we settled we went to the bar to relax and have some bar food. When we were there the live entertainment was just leaving but the scene was still very active. The next morning after breakfast, we headed to the infinity pool which was fantastic. The views were amazing in all directions. The view to the sea includes the overwafer bungalows and the opposite view was the hotel and the dramatic mountains rising in the background. We've been to a lot of resorts and can tell sincerity of the staff and at the Manava everyone smiled and offered Tahitian hospitality at every corner. We were able to spend some time after checkout at the pool until, sadly, it was time to leave for our ferry (we booked accurately this time). I'm in the travel business myself and have been telling everyone when in Morrea, the Manava is the place to be. A warm maururu to Timmy and his staff for saving us and making us feel welcomed.

Check in was easy. There is a main circle driveway n a separate larger parking lot to the right of the hotel. Each room has a fridge, kitchenette, n kettle with coffee n tea supplied. The outdoor garden porch has a table n four chairs. We spent hours watching the chickens n drinking coffee. The bed was comfortable. The pool is amazing n directly adjacent to a small beach. There is a manned pool bar where you can sit n play cards. They have water equipment for use-kayaks, etc. There are multiple beds at the beach which is located on the bay. The sunsets are incredible. Across the bridge is the restaurant. It provides breakfast, lunch, n dinner which wildly convenient if you’re not in the mood to cook in your suite. I would suggest renting a vehicle if you’re staying for any length of time. We rented a vehicle n took the car across with the ferry. The vehicle was a stick shift. It enabled us to visit beaches, overlooks, shops, n small businesses around the island for lunch. There were multiple families from France on extended vacations. Family friendly hotel. There were no language barriers with staff or the community. Everyone appears to speak English. The hotel concierge will arrange whale watching, snorkeling tours, ATV, etc. you can access most of the tours from the restaurant dock or the front lobby. Other hotel occupants were coming to meet tours at the Cooks Bay Hotel dock. The staff are welcoming n helpful. We had a wonderful stay.
