Cook's Bay Hotel & Suites

Fabulous hotel location, staff, pool, lounge chairs, bar, restaurant and outside shower. Breakfast, dinner and happy hour at the restaurant was fabulous! Loved having restaurant on the property. The room was very nice. Bed confortable. The large balcony, which included two lounge chairs and a table with 4 chairs, was Nothingfabulous with an exceptional view. Highly recommend this hotel. We'd definitely come again and bring family and friends.

Nothing.

The property feels very clean, our room was spacious and well designed and very comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the pool with a partial view of the bay. Everything was modern, simple and functional. The AC worked very well. The lightning was well designed. Our bathroom had two sinks and a great shower. We liked that the toilet was separate from the main bathroom. Overall we were very happy with the accommodations. The staff were very polite and friendly. There is a very good restaurant and a bar at the property.

We were surprised there was no option to purchase little snack items during the day. We would have also welcomed a bit more coffee rations. There is not much of a beach.

The breakfast was very disappointing. Of the 4 places we stayed, this was by far the worst breakfast. I will recommend to anyone to take their breakfast somewhere else. The fruit bowl and cooked egg dishes were particularly disappointing. Other than that, I was very impressed with the facility.

The breakfast was extremely disappointing. Try taking a breakfast at one of the other resorts on Tahiti or Moorea and you will understand, Cooks Bay has a *lot* of improvement to make in the breakfast. Or, forget trying to do a nice breakfast entirely and just do something simple.

Very clean, not crowded, and excellent staff

We loved everything about this hotel - the accommodation which was spacious and beautifully decorated in light modern decor. We had a big bedroom and a lounge area with kitchenette too. There were USB sockets each side of the bed which was very helpful. We had a big terrace with a good quality table and four chairs and two sunbeds. Our view was to the pool and the ocean beyond looking through palm trees. It was perfect and everything we hoped for. The staff could not have been more helpful and all spoke great English. They helped us with travel tips and to book our evening at the Tiki Village for which we were so very grateful. The restaurant area is very nice and we enjoyed cocktails looking onto the beach at sunset and a lovely meal afterwards. There was plenty of parking for our rental car. There's a great supermarket called Super U just 2/3km away with stalls next to it selling local fruit and vegetables, The beach area was perfect - wooden double bedframes with shade over the top, comfortable mattresses and pillows as well as lots of beanbags and side tables. We were never stuck for a place to sit and a waiter came round at 5pm one night to tell us it was Happy Hour and serve cocktails. We went snorkelling off the beach every day and saw amazing fish as well as swimming with a turtle and having five foot shark casually swim past us. It was amazing.

That we couldn't stay for a lot longer!

The location of the hotel was pretty central in Moorea. The staff were very accomodating and helpful and extremely warm and welcoming. Having a mini kitchenette in our room was fabulous and gave us the opportunity to purchase local fruit or drinks and snacks/food from the market and make our own meals when we needed/wanted a bit of a change. The free parking offered was also a definite plus! The bay provides a beautiful place for snorkeling and the pool cabanas and loungers were great! Was not too busy or noisy and the onsite restaurant had pretty decent food offerings. Best part of the hotel (and our room) is the community events space located next door. We were treated to a traditional Polynesian gathering with music and dancing which provided a truly authentic soundtrack to a beautiful backdrop! Would definitely recommend!

At times the pool/beach/bay area did not have enough shade which made it difficult to be outside enjoying some of the amenities at various times throughout the day.

Updated and clean and comfortable. Beautiful bath.

I could have used a luggage rack, but that’s it.

Amazing views,comfortable room,friendly helpful staff

Ideally toilet would be together with bathroom rather than separetely behind kitchen,but its a minor thing,not an issue.

French Polynesia is overall quite an expensive place. We booked the suite at this hotel since our children are teenagers already and it was quite spacious, it worked out really well. The suite has a kitchenette and patio, which was really good so that we could shop at the supermarket (2 smalls ones only minutes away and Champion about 16 minute drive) and we enjoyed cooking our breakfast and sometimes dinners. Location wise, it is really convenient I feel, because it's close to most popular spots, I feel its better than some most expensive hotels. The beds are comfortable, and the room service is good. The airy style of the hotel makes it an ideal place just to relax by the beach and the snorkeling right from the hotel beach was amazing, we visited Intercontinental on Papee'te, and we feel the beach was nicer and the snorkeling was more natural at our hotel. We also booked a tour swimming with the whales, and we got picked up right from the hotel pier.

This doesn't apply to this hotel only, but to the whole island of Moorea. There are quite some stray dogs and chickens, be prepared you will hear the rooster crow early in the morning, or whenever.
