Moorea Surf Inn

This place is incredible! Beautiful property with an incredible oceanside view from the elevated platform right on the water. You can snorkel around pristine coral that is just a quick swim or paddle from the Inn and see the Haapiti surf break from the platform (binoculars are helpful unless you are Tama, the owner and expert, and can judge the surf with naked eye from a distance). Tama is incredibly friendly, hospitable, and helpful and works hard to keep the property in its incredible condition. He can answer any of your questions, make recommendations on hikes, restaurants, etc., connect you with others around the island, take you surfing, and give you great local information. His English was great - some of the best I heard in Polynesia after being there for nearly three weeks. The accommodation itself is very nice. The kitchen has everything you need to cook (buy your own groceries of course), and the rooms and bathrooms are very clean and comfortable. I can't recommend this place enough - it is one of the best deals you'll find on the island!
