This was a dream vacation and we had very high expectations - the Pearl and the island of Moorea both far exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived early morning after a long trip from New York to cold drinks and a room that was ready way earlier than the official check in time, everything was perfect. The staff were friendly and welcoming, they couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant - the food was great and the resort itself was so beautiful. We highly recommend the spa - the polynesian massages were amazing. We were also lucky enough to be upgraded to a garden bungalow with a plunge pool half way through the trip, both the bungalow and the duplex room we stayed in for the first few days were great. We cannot recommend the Pearl highly enough and we had a stay of a lifetime there.

After much research and angst, we selected the Pearl resorts on Moorea and Tikehau for our first French Polynesian vacation. We were extremely happy with our choice as they offered great value and spectacular locations. For our first 5 nights we stayed on Moorea in a garden bungalow with private plunge pool. It was the right choice: less expensive than over-water and better yet, we enjoyed privacy and sunbathing at our own pool. Our favorite time of day was the morning, enjoying coffee we brewed ourselves, watching and feeding colorful mynah birds and other wildlife on our private poolside patio (which had a glimpse of some over water bungalows). We only ate one meal at the Moorea Pearl's bar restaurant, instead venturing by foot to the nearby town for lunches and dinners (take a flashlight for the walk home after dark - enjoy all the stars overhead!). We also walked to a grocery store to stock up on extra snacks and, to save expense, brought our own liquor from the USA. The food at the Pearl was fine, especially the "poisson cru" or fish ceviche as we call it in Texas. Indeed we saw a demonstration of how to prepare this local specialty poolside, which whet our appetite for dinner. The Pearl has a spectacular infiniti pool with a nearby tree for shade and great sunrise and sunset photos. Snorkel equipment is freely available from a poolside cabana. Snorkeling off the over-water bungalows was good, especially along the bungalows nearest the dive shop and a nearby public boat dock. The public areas are beautifully landscaped. The lobby is especially pretty. Our bungalow was large, very clean and well maintained. Loved the dark wood/traditional decor. It was very quiet and private - perfect! I highly recommend the garden bungalows with pool if you stay at this resort.

Stayed here for 3 nights, before leaving on a 14 day cruise on the Paul Gauguin to the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Society Islands etc.
We arrived early in the morning, unsure if our room would be ready. However no sooner were we out of the shuttle, we were informed our room (with plunge pool) was ready. We were offered a cold drink, and cool face cloths, while we filled out the paperwork.
We were given an orientation around the property by the Manager, who then escorted us to our room. He also showed us the light switches, location of the mini-fridge etc. First class all the way in our eyes.
Our room was cleaned spotlessly, daily.
The bed was really comfy.
The facility itself is well landscaped, and a little more compact than shown on their Hotel photos, but we like it that way.
The staff were pleasent throughout the facility.
We had breakfast included, which we found to be good.
We only had one dinner in the bar area, and it was also good.
The snorkling under the OWB's was nice and the water was clear most times.
The pool was clean, and no problem getting a lounge chair.
The Concierge(s) was more than helpful with any queries we asked.
Check-out was fast and efficient.
We would stay here again?
A definate yes.

On a side note we rented bikes and hung a right on the main road out front and cycled down to Cooks Bay. It was effortless and very scenic. As previously mentioned, a market, shops, bank and cafes along the route.
Also one night we hung a left and walked up to Chez Lucianos and ordered a pizza. The guy that runs it, is a hoot. Although he doesn't make owl noises, but does wicked cat imitations. The pizza was great. (He had one of his staff drive us back to the resort).
While there, some locals picked up Chinese food. So, for laughs the next night we tried the Chow Mein, and it was good and more that enough for two.

We recently returned from a week at the Moorea Pearl Resort. We stayed in the over the water bungalows and lowed every minute we were there. We took advantage of the free snorkeling gear and the best snorkeling was right off our bungalows (409 and 410) We saw a large variety of fish, even an octopus and a turtle. We also enjoyed swimming and the Kayaks. We definitely would stay here again. The weather was wonderful. Only a couple of rain showers. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly and after the first couple of days knew which bungalow we were staying in. The maid service was excellent and the beds were very comfortable. There is a small fridge in the room to keep drinks and water in but it took a while to get it cold. We rented a car and traveled around the island. The only disadvantage is the food is a little pricey but was very good. The show on Wednesday and Saturday were very good. .There are many restaurants within a thirty minute drive. The ice cream at the patissiere was great! It helps to know some French. We even found a church close by to attend on Sunday. Each morning we walked around the resort and the flowers were beautiful. We read David Stanley's Moon Travel Guide to Tahiti and it was of great benefit as we traveled around the island. There is only one English TV channel and that is CNN. They do have one plug that is 110 volts. (They have a hair dryer but you have to hold down the button the whole time and it is not very powerful - I would bring your own) We truly enjoyed our stay and would go there again if given the opportunity.

Beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately the view on the beach is partly hidden by the waterbungalows. Excellent service, friendly staff. The food doesn' t correspond to a 4-star rating. Dull and tasteless. The pool needs cleaning. The rental bikes are in real bad shape.
