Independent review for The Pearl Resort on Moorea Island in French Polynesia

pearl resort moorea hotel location picture

Pearl Resort Moorea French Polynesia is located in a delightful setting on a small beach on the north coast of Moorea, backed by mountains and offering exceptionally presented bungalows and rooms. The Polynesian style reception leads down to an infinity swimming pool backing right onto the ocean. Water sports are plenty, there's a small Spa and Polynesian floor shows and overall makes a luxury base for enjoying Moorea.

Hotel Amenities

The Garden Rooms and Family Rooms are set in an aesthetic two story thatch hotel block at the back of the property about 50 metres from the beach.

Garden Bungalows are duplex (two separate rooms share one bungalow) and are enclosed by private gardens - some have a small private pool on the veranda. The beach bungalows and superior beach bungalows are of identical interior design, the difference being location - superior bungalows are located on a lovely stretch of sand, right on the beach; standard beach bungalows are located on the other side of the restaurant, near the activities centre where the outlook is less attractive.

Overwater Bungalows are also of the same interior design with standard bungalows facing the mountains and with a shallow lagoon infront, whilst the superior overwater bungalows face the deep ocean offering more privacy and better swimming and snorkelling from the sun decks.
