Reviews of Hotel Kaveka describe a scenic, quiet spot on Cook’s Bay with simple bungalows, friendly staff, and easy access to the water for snorkeling, offering good value compared with larger resorts, though parts of the property feel dated.
Rooms range from renovated and comfortable to older and basic; some guests report weak air conditioning, unreliable Wi‑Fi, thin walls, or maintenance snags. Breakfast is frequently described as overpriced or mediocre, while dinners and the bay‑side setting often please, though service can be slow. Expect limited beach space, ongoing renovations and occasional construction or maintenance, and no pool, alongside convenient access to Maharepa; overall, it suits travelers prioritizing location and simplicity over full‑service amenities.

Facilities
Snorkeling from the pier and bay views are highlights, but the beach area is small and shade is limited. Renovations and some maintenance issues (broken loungers, slippery steps), construction noise at times, and no pool are noted.

Left after first night as they didn't have a pool which we needed (for the kids) and was one of the main reasons we booked it. Front desk and manager was rude, slow and obnoxious in recognizing and handling the issue. Blaming us for it rather than dealing with the fact that they are advertised as with pool on hotels.com.

Service at restaurant was a little slow, the waitress was not a friendly person. We had great food at a food truck in Pao Pao. Nice grounds with lounges over water. They rent kayaks by the hour and the shallows are teeming with fish.

1. Checkin ist offiziell ab 15:00. Wir waren kurz vor 15:00 da - wir mussten wirklich bis nach 15:00 Uhr mit dem Checkin warten obwohl alle Zimmer unserer Kategorie frei waren. Soetwas habe ich noch nie erlebt. 2. Ausstattung der Zimmer uralt. Im Badezimmer gibt es keinen einzigen Haken um ein Handtuch aufzuhängen. Keinen! 3. laut Beschreibung bei Expedia hat der von uns gebuchte Bungalow ein Patio/Balkon und Lagoon-View. Patio war nicht vorhanden. Blick auf eine Wand. 4. laut Beschreibung gibt es Strandliegen, Sonnenschirme und Strandhandtücher. Ein paar alte Strandliegeb sind vorhanden, keine Sonnenschirme. Für Strandhandtücher wird täglich eine Gebühr verlangt.

Great location on Cooks Bay with gorgeous beach and mountain views. there was major construction going on. The steps to the water and platform were covered in extremely slippery algae that needed cleaning. This prevented me from snorkeling

The bungalow was right next to the water, the restaurant is over the water, and snorkeling off the hotel pier was excellent.

The location is ideal. Cooks Bay is a great area, walking distance to shops, restaurants, grocery, services and breathtaking beauty. The view is amazing from the restaurant and dock. We stayed in a lanai room, which means the back row by the road. These rooms are half the cost of the front row lagoon view rooms. Some rooms are really old, dated, in questionable condition and smell of mildew. Some cabins are brand new. The first one we stayed in had terrible odor and fired up my husband’s allergies. It also had an ant infestation. They were kind enough to move us to another room that smelled better and no ants. The snorkeling out front off the end of the dock was quite good. There’s a steep drop off and you’ll see a lot there. We saw tons of colorful fish, a giant nurse shark, an octopus, turtles and an eel. The little beach was never crowded and great for floating. The staff at Kaveka was super friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was crazy expensive so we walked to the Maharepa grocery every morning for the best fresh French pastries I have ever had! I hope the walk offset some of the calories! We also walked to pizza place quite close. It was great. We ate at Kaveka restaurant for dinner once and it was a big plate of delicious grilled fish and shrimp… enough for two of us to share. I would probably stay here again. The rooms not fantastic but for the price, it’s pretty good.

At first, I found myself completely fine with the accommodation, but once construction started up it was too noisy to be there. The lounge chairs by the water were mostly broken and even on my day of checkout when I had several hours before I needed to leave, they decided to clean the furniture on my porch by sanding it making it unavailable for me to use and impossible to have any kind of a restful experience. They asked for a US$20 deposit to have any use of beach towels and then an additional Fr.600 for daily use that is promised to be refunded upon departure. I did not have that kind of cash on me on a day that I needed to towel, I was given one for Fr.300 deposit as it was what I had in my hand. Then upon departure, I was refused the refund of the deposit, even though I returned the towel because I hadn’t given him the $20 deposit to begin with. Everyone was very nice to me until I checked out and then suddenly they were incredibly rude and refusing to refund my security deposit when it should’ve been returned given that the item I borrowed had been return to them in good condition. overall, the place is incredibly overpriced for what you get and given how much you’re spending you should be given beach towels and usable lounge chairs without being asked for additional funds.

This place was peaceful and serene. The room we had was a little small for us and had no patio but we were okay with that because we chose not to upgrade and it was a place to sleep. The grounds were clean and very beautiful however they did have construction on property which was not a problem for us and looked like it was getting more bungalows added. The beach area could have been tended to with maybe removal of some of the seaweed but if you swam far out enough it was not a problem. We opted for hanging out at the end of the pier for swimming and sunbathing. The staff was always smiling with friendly greetings and assisted us with questions we had. The tourism office was next door. Overall if you didn’t want to spend lots of money on the over the water lagoons this was a very nice option. We loved it here.

The hotel states they have wifi but it’s only in lobby. And they’re under construction so it’s really loud all day. Lastly, their breakfast is the most ludicrous cost on the entire island. Their shuttles never showed up and their front desk person kept telling me she’d checked it herself and the wifi was working. It never was. Anytime we wanted to call somebody on island for bike rental of jet skiing, we had to walk to lobby. And the chickens wake you up early!!!

Nice place to stay. Air conditioning wasn’t very cold. Very clean, friendly staff. Room was oceanfront and very large. Lots of fish, rays and turtles in the lagoon visible from the restaurant. Nice pier and reef to snorkel around.

Our bungalow was freshly renovated unfortunately not completely finished. Some outfitting details are still missing as complete unit was very minimalistic outfitted. Toilet was not cleaned and still with traces of previous ‘job’ and shower drainage was draining very slow which after some time start to overflow to bathroom. Breakfast we did not take because 32-36 usd/person is exaggerated. Beach in front of hotel had smell of piss which spoiled enjoyment.

Our room had only been completed just prior to our arrival and wreaked of paint during our entire stay.The toilet seat was broken for 3 days and hand towels were also not available.We had one meal at the restaurant and it was horrendous-we walked out without finishing it.The hotel has potential but needs a serious revamp and so does their kitchen & menu.Having said that one staff member Cindy was excellent and did everything she could to improve our stay.Also the beaches on the site are inaccessible for swimming and also quite treacherous as one of them has stone fish whose spines can cause a nasty infection.

This hotel is no frills, but clean, cute and the staff are all so wonderful. The snorkeling off the dock is some of the best on the island; a secret treasure right at your feet! The restaurant has many options and is delicious, albeit a little pricey. My friend and I wanted to rent scooters, and the staff coordinated for us, which was very helpful and the scooters were delivered straight to our hotel. There was air conditioning in the room, although we did not need it at night because the ceiling fan was enough. Overall we had a lovely stay at Hotel Kaveka, and if you’re looking for a safe, clean, simple place to stay this is it!

Unfortunately our bungalow was only recently repainted and a strong pungent odor prevailed giving us a sinus infection. When we informed the evening staff she said they knew of it and apologized. Later the manager said we could NOT get any of empty units because of the type of reservation we had ????? He vaguely said he would ask owner if we could get some credit. But we have not heard anything! Food and service was very good. At approx $300 per night, we are very disappointed.

The hotel is dated and could use some modernizing. The maintenance man that takes care of the gardens etc. is amazing. The Wi-Fi service is terrible. The Wi-Fi service is terrible and close to nonexistent. Rooms need a good cleaning to include baseboards windows and window sills. Also before checking in confirm everything works. We had to move rooms due to safe not operational. The rooms as advertised on Expedia are not what you get. There is no porch on lanais. Moorea is a beautiful island but this was not a 200 a night property for our room. They are updating the property and some of the rooms appear to be very nice.

The view from the restaurant is gorgeous and the food was pretty good. Staff very friendly but forgot my request for a bike and my safe still didn’t work after 2 requests. No kettle in room and no water provided even though you can’t drink the water at the hotel. Housekeeping not great- forgot to leave clean glasses, hand towels and toilet paper. Bed ok but bathroom very dated

Rather moribund, understaffed and not as described. We had three major issues at Kaveka which tainted our time on Moorea. We had chosen it specifically because it is described as having “a private beach” and our chosen bungalow was “on the lagoon”. This is at best misleading and at worst a deliberate distortion. We found that only one or two of the bungalows have a beach with lagoon access. Our bungalow, and others, have a low sea wall with a patch of sand on the land side of the wall for our loungers. The sand also served as a main walkway for other guests so it is not private space. The hotel description mentions access to “beach umbrellas”. Our “beach” - the sandy area in front of the bungalow but behind the sea wall - received intense afternoon sunshine that mandated at least partial shade. But the staff told us that they do not provide beach umbrellas. The hotel description on Expedia is therefore wrong and needs to be updated. The hotel’s guest wi-fi was highly unreliable and intermittent. We complained twice over two days and each time we were told to wait while it was “reset”. I wasn’t going to waste more vacation time complaining more since I had reasonable cellular coverage. You might not have! Do yourself a favor, and avoid the temptation for what seems a good deal and instead pay extra for a better place - the Cook’s Bay Resort next door is modern and lovely - and perhaps just stay fewer days. Your vacation time will be so much better!

The hotel’s guest wi-fi was highly unreliable and intermittent. We complained twice over two days and each time we were told to wait while it was “reset”. I wasn’t going to waste more vacation time complaining more since I had reasonable cellular coverage. You might not have! Do yourself a favor, and avoid the temptation for what seems a good deal and instead pay extra for a better place - the Cook’s Bay Resort next door is modern and lovely - and perhaps just stay fewer days. Your vacation time will be so much better!

The staff are very friendly. Our room was very hot, ceiling fan did not work, and tv did not turn on. The maintenance tried to fix the fan and did bring us a large fan for the night which was very nice. He did provide another key so the AC would cook down the room while we went for dinner.. it is a very old

It’s an okay hotel. We were just given the wrong room, not the one that we booked. We asked to be upgraded but it was fully booked. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Beachfront bungalow has the most incredible view. King bed is great for my tall spouse and it was very comfortable. We slept great all 3 nights as the property was small enough that other guests are spread out and we didn’t hear anything except the sounds of nature. We enjoyed eating dinner there each night too; lots of food options and convenient.

So this is our 2 additional nights on Moorea after staying at the Hilton; it's a value-stay, pretty good stop. I think the hotels.com photos don't show it well enough. The place is undergoing a renovation of some of the lodge/houses; so if you're planninng for July 25+ I'd ask for a a newer design. It's quiet, even though it's close to the road. The bay has some smaller cruise ships coming and going. There are cats and dogs kind of milling through the grounds. The restaurant is nice but needs more business. We had breakfast, but had dinner across the lagoon at Oeimeo (Wonderful). Front desk staff was great, more local chill vibe - lots of good ideas. You can snorkel right off the little beach and pier with good fish, and saw sea-turtles and sharks right off the dock. The staff was nice and gave some french bread for fish feeding off the end of the pier.

This property was listed as "lagoon view", but you could not actually see the water from the unit. The walls were so thin that we could hear everything that was going on in the room next to us. Knowing we could hear them meant they could hear everything in our unit as well. The air conditioning could only be run when you were in the room with the key in so we often came back to a very warm room. It is a fine property with a nice beach area and restaurant but over priced for what is provided and the privacy issue for connecting rooms is a big concern.

Thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation and stay at Hotel Kaveka. The staff and location were amazing, the bungalow was clean and comfortable. The only thing to mention is our bungalow did not cool diwn adequately from the ceiling fan or air-conditioner, however this did not stop our enjoyment of our room. We would stay here again.

So many things. Broken door, broken and beeping safe, really really outdated everything. The repair folks just left my door unlocked the whole day after finishing work, no one checked. I had to leave a day early, got charged for the whole stay. Also, breakfast is about $40. Very unfriendly manager. The staff are very friendly and doing the best to keep the place running but management has serious issues. If you can afford another place, this hotel is just not worth the trip to Moorea.

The staff here was beyond friendly, and always quite helpful. The location was perfect. We rented a car and did a tour of the whole island one day and decided that the views from our bungalow couldn't be beat! There are nicer beaches in the northwest of the island, and parts of the east, so if swimming/snorkeling is your focus, you'll need a car/scooter/bike. There are a number of great restaurant an easy walk away, Allo Pizza being one of our favorite. And there's a nice grocery store about a 15 minute walk from the hotel where you can but some ready-made meals, or get fruit, yoghurt, cheese, cereal and milk. Overall, this hotel offers great value, we definitely recommend it.

We had a marvelous three night stay in this gorgeous hotel! The service was impeccable! And the views were to die for. The staff was incredibly, friendly and helpful. My husband was not feeling well after the ferry ride into the island, so they allowed us to check into our hotel Several hours early. We are for sure coming back and this is the hotel we will stay in again! The views and the beach and the surrounding area and the staff can’t be beat anywhere else on the island.

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK! First check in. Odd not very warm greeting no “congrats on your honeymoon” nothing of the short. Guy walked us to our room showed us were to enter the room key to turn on the lights and AC then left. Room was dirty with dirty linens, stained towels. A giant cockroach crawling around and what I assume was a gecko’s poop on my pillow. Spider’s webs in every corner. Tiny bugs everywhere. I get it I am on an island but the reason for so many bugs was clearly from not cleaning and the half an inch gap in the sliding glass window that needs replacement. We paid for the beach and waterfront room. There was local teens playing music and swimming in front of our room daily. Literally right in front of us on the hotel grounds. The hotel did nothing to vacate these teens. I am all about kids having fun, but it seriously killed the vibes and provided no privacy at all. The hub caps were stolen on our rental car... When I went to the front desk to inform them the guy smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said sorry. Period. No, I am so sorry let me get the manager blah blah blah. Just sorry bye. It was very very hot the week we stayed. You can only cool the room with the room key. I requested an additional room key so that the room wasn’t a completed furnace when we got back from outing, but the manager said no to this request. Please Please do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. I have so many more things but only allowed 1500 characters!

The hotel has bungalows and the restaurant is on the water. It is located directly on the beach in a very nice bay. The restaurant is very good but breakfast is too expensive for the food offered. You need a car to reach it from the airport or the harbor, and to move around the island. No public transportation and taxis are quite expensive.

The location is ideal. Cooks Bay is a great area, walking distance to shops, restaurants, grocery, services and breathtaking beauty. The view is amazing from the restaurant and dock. We stayed in a lanai room, which means the back row by the road. These rooms are half the cost of the front row lagoon view rooms. Some rooms are really old, dated, in questionable condition and smell of mildew. Some cabins are brand new. The first one we stayed in had terrible odor and fired up my husband’s allergies. It also had an ant infestation. They were kind enough to move us to another room that smelled better and no ants. The snorkeling out front off the end of the dock was quite good. There’s a steep drop off and you’ll see a lot there. We saw tons of colorful fish, a giant nurse shark, an octopus, turtles and an eel. The little beach was never crowded and great for floating. The staff at Kaveka was super friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was crazy expensive so we walked to the Maharepa grocery every morning for the best fresh French pastries I have ever had! I hope the walk offset some of the calories! We also walked to pizza place quite close. It was great. We ate at Kaveka restaurant for dinner once and it was a big plate of delicious grilled fish and shrimp… enough for two of us to share. I would probably stay here again. The rooms not fantastic but for the price, it’s pretty good.

Breakfast was expensive for bread, fresh fruit, juice and bad coffee. Staff was excellent and made us feel at home. We loved the beach bungalow.

Our stay at Hotel Kaveka was absolutely amazing. The beachfront bungalow-style villa was just steps from the water and only a short walk to the hotel restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home throughout our stay. The hotel was worth every dollar spent, and my wife and I enjoyed some of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve seen in a long time right from the beach. If you’re looking for a relaxing, authentic Polynesian experience, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended! 🌅🏝️❤️

We love our stay here. It’s honestly the perfect place to stay in Moorea. The staff were so helpful and lovely. Also, it’s amazing that you can wake up and just jump to do some snorkeling. It was the best snorkeling in the entire island. We saw 3 big turtles, an octopus and so many pretty fish plus the water is so calm. Their pina colada’s were also amazing. We highly recommend this place.
