These were arranged on branches leading out in the lagoon. To get back to the main resort buildings all you had to do was take a pleasant walk or dial for a golf cart.





There was a nice beach area facing out on the lagoon, back by manicured gardens and a nice pool with the obligatory bar/snack place. They had a beach of kayaks, outrigger canoes, paddleboards, jet skis, etc. to use. They also had a private lagoon full of curious fish eager to come and say hi looking for food. While I enjoyed the snorkel, Madam had a moment entering the water being surprised by a inquisitive fish wanting to give her a kiss on the leg – cue the squeal, then splat, and getting all wet in a hurry.

The main resort had 3 restaurants – breakfast/buffet style, an upmarket fine dining and a sunset bar, which served sashimi and sushi. Speaking of sunset drinks:





Sadly it was only two nights here before we had to meet the organized pre-cruise program that the Paul Gauguin ship ran at the Intercontinental Moorea. At least on the short 40-minute flight from Bora Bora to Moorea we managed to get a right hand side seat for the views over Bora Bora lagoon.





In the following photo you can see the overwater bungalows of another resort – I think it is the St Regis?



Mind you the landing approach into Moorea was pretty good too!
