There is a steep hill up to the property and once your @ the parking spot, you must hike a bit more to get to the rental. Nice pool, very clean property! Owners reprimanded teenagers for playing ball in the pool, so I would have to assume that this property prefers adults over kids. Entrance to property is not well marked (but neither is any other property on Moorea!).

This property is currently listed as a three-star hotel, when it is actually a hostel. Additionally, the claimed amenities are misrepresented. - Rooms contain a bed, two nightstands, and a place to hang clothes. That's it. No TV, no fridge, not even a table and chair. - Bathrooms are outside along an unlit path. I had to use a flashlight at night. - Wifi is only available at a communal dining area with half a dozen chairs. - "Laundry facilities" is asking the owners to do it for $15/kg. - The "restaurant" is pre-arranging breakfast or dinner with the owners. You can't just show up and order something. There is no bar, that's just a lie. On the bright side, the pool does exist, and the rooms are air conditioned. (But the air conditioner turns off when you leave, so it will be good and hot when you get back. This is a good time to take a shower while it cools off.) Finally, I'll add that this property is on the opposite side of the island from any activity you will want to do or restaurant you will want to eat at. It's only close in the sense that Moorea is not large (60 minutes to drive around it), but Fare Arana is still 20-30 minutes from anything.

I specifically chose this property due to their claim that there would be someone present who spoke English. I don't speak French and needed assistance in booking trips, transportation, etc., especially in a remote property with no accessible markets, restaurants, shops, activities in walking distance, and on an island where public transport, cabs, and uber are not generally available. Prior to my arrival I communicated with a representative to discuss and arrange multiple things. When I arrived this person was not there and there was no one with any English on the property, only one woman who started by being two hours late for my ferry pickup. I tried to speak to her in French using Google translate and she would just scream WHAT and walk away from me. None of my prior discussions or arrangements were honored, and she was incredibly hostile. She wouldn't speak with me directly but would send other guests- all of whom were equally unfamiliar with the island as I was- to talk to me. There were no alternate accommodations during my stay and this five day leg of my trip was pretty much ruined.

Great value and excellent service. Erik and Carole were so helpful driving us to town to get our rental car in town. Carole cooked us beautiful omelettes and the view is fantastic. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you are expecting to walk out to to white sand, its better to use Fare Arana as a home base and rent a car to explore all of Moorea.

Distance/must rent a car- cost average $100/day
Distance is the problem - 25 miles from town/mountain top and up/at the opposite end of the island where is nothing to do! No transportation /must rent a car USD$100 day. Taxi USD$35 to town each way Owners charge to pick you up from town. No beach to enjoy nearby (except walking on stones) Owners not helpful. Man busy booking expensive tours for guests and wife cooking expensive meals. No front desk. No internet in rooms. If you are looking for isolation go for it. If you want fun, convenience, stores, restaurants and a nice sandy beach to relax this is not for you.

快適でした
フェリー乗り場からだいぶ離れてましたが、自然に包まれたとても良い環境でした。 ビーチまでも離れてたのですが、オーナーの奥さんのご好意で、お金はお支払いしたのですが送迎してくれたり、島のツアーも取ってくださったらとても親切で快適に過ごすことができました。 シャワーが冷たかったのですがそれもすぐに対応してくれて、お湯になりました！

Nos gustó mucho porque es un lugar para relajarte y descansar. Está un poco alejado de la playa y de supermercados, pero tiene una bonita alberca con hermosa vista del lagoon. Francoice y Nelli nos trataron como familia. Lo recomendamos.

Pro mais un peu plus de souplesse serait bienvenue
Couple gérant accommodant, qui rend facilement service, moyennant finance, mais un peu raide d'abord en premier lieu, devrait travailler un peu la souplesse quand on travaille avec les touristes toute l'année
