Moorea Pricing Note & Guidelines:
TAHITI SUN TRAVEL doesn't list specific prices of rooms for it's listings simply because they are subject to too many changes! We would rarely be able to claim accuracy and would constantly be updating and changing prices according to the economy fluctuations of French Polynesia.
The hotels who have their own direct linking websites are responsible for their own pricing updates and take care of that business themselves.
For now, we offer the following pricing structure as a ROUGH GUIDE for you to help plan your vacation budget on Moorea island.
|
TOP END
From $151.00- 400.00+/ night
|
MID-RANGE
From $61.00-150.00/ night
|
BUDGET / CAMPING
From $12.00- 60.00/ night

Mid-Range:
2 & 3 Star Hotels, Motels, & Family Run Pensions
These accomodations vary greatly throughout Tahiti-Polynesia. Some are quite luxurious, although slightly less so than the top of the line resorts listed above. Many are also not so luxurious, but what you'll save in dollars may end up being a worthy tradeoff. They range from hotels and motels to what
the French Polynesians call "Pensions" which are basically family run operations, often with family style service.
Since the majority of places to stay
on all the Tahitian islands consist of these mid-range style accomodations, you might imagine there is also a great variation in quality, service, and
facilities... Explore the listings and links below for details.
(In an effort to organize them, they are marked with a letter code which describes their basic category listing according to the Tahiti Tourism Bureau. For category descriptions, please see the pension chart, in left column.)

Timeshares
Moorea is one of the few Society islands with timeshare units available to the public. These are a great alternative to extended stays in hotel rooms, because they offer a more homelike atmosphere as well as more comforts and amenities. Additionally, travelers who purchase timeshare resales on Moorea can enjoy returning to the same friendly staff every time they vacation here.
For a better understanding of what timeshares offer, read about Club Bali Hai Moorea, one of the most distinctive and beautiful resorts on the island.

Budget:
Pensions, Lodging in Private Homes, Camping
Listed below are refuges for those of you on a tight budget or wishing to save your hard earned money on various activities or Island hopping rather than on lodging. 
Amenities can be a bit stark compared to some other more expensive places to stay on the island, but just because it's budget doesn't mean it isn't a great place to stay. Backpackers, students, long term travelers, or campers love these places...
Accomodations are often simple bungalows, dorm style cottages or rooms utilizing communal style bathrooms, kitchens, and showers.
Camping areas all share the use of above mentioned amenities, unless you're really into roughing it, in which case you won't be staying at these areas anyway. (bring your own tent.)
 In our humble opinion, many of these low or mid-range pensions are among the best places to stay on all the islands of Tahititi Polynesia due to their "family touch." They are the easiest places to have personal contact and interact with the islanders, which most people will find extremely rewarding.
Most, if not all the accomodations, are run by family members and they are often very friendly, outgoing, and interesting to meet for any traveler. Great sources of Island information, these locals also can help you organize the many island activities and sights you will be pursuing on Moorea.
NOTE: Many of these lower budget establishments fall into the same generalized categories and descriptions as the mid-range accomodations shown above. In an effort to organize them, they are marked with a letter code which describes their basic category listing according to the Tahiti Tourism Bureau. For category descriptions, please see the pension chart. (in left column)
