Taiarapu-Ouest Holidays from NZ$2,066

Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Room was great. It was large with an amazing view. Overall, the hotel staff were friendly. Check in was very delayed and a little disorganized. The manager was involved with numerous dissatisfied guests but after check in the stay was wonderful. The pool, the view from our room and anywhere on the property is amazing. Great place to relax before flying out on late flight.

Everything was closed including rooftop

The resort was stunning. Fabulous location and views. Our room was clean, and suitable for staying a few nights. Limited drawers, hangers. Food was EXPENSIVE and we do not feel it was good value for the money. Service was inconsistent... depending on the wait staff. Overall the staff was very friendly spoke English and very accomodating. Would rate this higher if the food was priced better, meaning I think $75.00 CA per person Monday to Saturday and $105. pp on Sunday buffet. If you want to eat alacarte you need to order room service or grab something premade at a counter. Room service 3 egg omlette with toast + pancakes with a fruit sald + 2 coffee was $85. CA. Yes, hot, and came very quickly, but add 17 for delivery and tip and it adds up pretty quick.

Cook’s Bay is one of the most wonderful places we’ve ever stayed, and we’ve stayed at many fantastic places around the world. The staff was amazingly nice. The rooms were spotless. The beds were very comfortable. The air-conditioning worked. The showers were hot. The towels were first class. Most important for us was the amazing snorkeling right off the edge of the property and the amazing views of the beautiful mountains of Moorea. We saw sharks, turtles and rays along the beautiful coral reef that drops down like a cliff just off the water’s edge. The water was unbelievably clear and blue. The swimming pool was perfect. My only hesitation in writing this review is that it will encourage more people to go there when I would love for this to remain a secret.
