Pihaena Vacation Packages

This is my second visit to this idyllic spot in Moorea. A family run group of budget rustic cottages on the lagoon next door to the Hilton. The onsite restaurant serves very high quality food and a simple breakfast is included. The hotel sits oceanfront on a beautiful area of the lagoon with rays, sharks and fish cruising by all day. Air conditioned rooms which is rare in Tahiti and kayaks included, good for family on a budget.

The hospitality here was way better than at the Hilton (we stayed at both). The garden villa with pool provided excellent privacy and a wonderful place to lounge during the day. The pool was also the best of all the places we stayed. Highly recommend staying where. Only advice is the overwater villas don’t have much privacy or a view- pool villa is a much better deal!

It was wonderful to be greeted with a lei, a cool washcloth and some pineapple juice. We loved that the snorkel gear and refreshing drinks were included. The food and the views, the cultural program and the friendly staff - all were top notch!

Great Location, But Lacking Hospitality! Our recent stay at The Green Lodge was somewhat disappointing. While the location itself is beautiful, it’s quite remote, which added to the inconvenience as there was no food available on-site—a detail we weren’t informed about beforehand. The beach at the lodge is scenic, but if you’re looking to swim, you’ll need to walk about 10 minutes to find small ponds in the ocean near the golf course. The beach directly in front of the lodge isn’t suitable for proper swimming. One of the main issues was the lack of friendliness from the owners, which made the atmosphere feel quite unwelcoming. Throughout our stay, it felt as though the owners’ concerns were prioritized over ensuring a positive guest experience, which was disheartening. One of us stayed in the main house, and the room was far from intimate. The walls were thin, and with the owners staying in the other rooms of the house, it felt more like a shared space than a private getaway. On a positive note, Betty, who took care of breakfast, and Karen were both lovely and welcoming, which helped to balance out some of the negative aspects of our stay. Overall, while the location is remote and tranquil, the lack of hospitality and food options, combined with the feeling of constantly tiptoeing around the owners, left us disappointed. I would advise future guests to read reviews carefully before booking.
