Linareva Moorea Beach Resort

It was a tranquil, gorgeous stay. The pier at the resort is home to nurse sharks - we saw at least 5 at the same time - and many black tipped reef sharks. On two different occasions, we saw spotted rays fly in off the pier. There were hundreds of fish in the crystal clear waters off the resort. Overall, a magical place.

We loved the beautiful panoramic ocean view, the jetty. Great snorkeling and kayaking with almost no one else around. Loved our outdoor breakfasts. Good recommendations for nearby dining. The quiet and privacy and view more than made up for the lack of a sandy swimming beach - there is a first class public beach a short distance up the road.

Very nice staff. Off the beaten path. Great snorkeling right off the pier. Some harmless sharks were cool to see. No TV or WiFi. But we were on vacation. You will need a car if you want to see things around the island

Very attentive front desk. Rules are a bit rigid. Feels a bit like boarding school. Lovely location. Quiet. Other guests were sedate and it was so so relaxing. Breakfast was good at around $15 each. Snorkeling is great. Not much of a beach.

We absolutely loved this place! The owners and staff are incredible, the location is amazing and the amenities are fantastic. We showed up hours prior to check in time on our first day and were greeted warmly. They allowed us to leave our luggage on site (they even have a locked room for surfboards) and utilize all of the amenities on the property prior to even checking in. The owner stopped everything she was doing and gave us a personalized tour. We used their kayaks and snorkeling gear and went straight out from the hotel and snorkeled, kayaked and swam for hours before checking in. After checking in, the other owner (a husband and wife) brought an avocado and some bananas to us - fresh off the trees on the property. The bungalows are situated on oceanfront property. Ours was decorated adorably. Clean, spacious, windows and patio with hammock facing the ocean, A/C, hot shower, kitchen. The grounds are very well kept with lounge chairs, picnic tables, etc. to give a super comfortable communal feel. There is a long dock that extends out into the ocean that we would all (other guests and us) commune on to enjoy the sunset and watch the fish swim below each evening. One of the owners asked what we enjoyed doing and then provided us with detailed information on how to make the most of our stay on the island. We felt so welcomed, safe and peaceful here. Linareva made our stay in Moorea very special! We highly recommend it.
