"I regret not staying longer, and truly experiencing this resort in it's full glory. M dining was exceptional, service staff of very high standards, location was stunning, room was divinely simple with luxury feel and comfort. My only observation that was a detractor, (however will not prevent me from returning or highly recommending it) was the noise level coming from the onsite construction. Recognizing this is a must, I understand, however if my intention was to be immersed in nature with a good book and plenty of sun, it would have been tainted. That aside, still a gem in paradise, and I will return."
"Loved this stay! The room wasn’t very updated and was pretty old. But still comfortable. There’s a turtle that lives off the dock and that was cool to snorkel by! Also loved the chicks in the garden, and feeding the fish each morning "
"The room was comfortable with a wonderful view across the infinity pool, looking at Moorea. The restaurant food was very good, though the buffet breakfast was a bit overpriced . . . Very nice hotel and friendly and good staff."
"Our stay at Linareva was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Momo welcomed us with such warmth and genuine kindness—it felt like being embraced by family. The entire staff was exceptional: attentive, thoughtful, and always ready to help with a smile. The property was spotless, and both our room and the surrounding grounds were beautifully maintained. Everything we needed was available—snorkeling gear, kayaks, a well-equipped kitchen, WiFi, even a microwave.
Breakfasts were a dream—brought right to our room each morning, allowing us to enjoy peaceful, breathtaking views from the beach as we started our day.
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to Vanessa and David for creating such a magical place. Your kindness, care, and attention to detail made our experience at Linareva—and in French Polynesia as a whole—absolutely perfect. Thank you for everything.

"we liked the access to the beach, the local store one block from us, the fresh baked goods, the local restaurants near by, did miss a outdoor grill to cook some fresh fish and meats for dinner, "
"It’s very unique jungle book could have been written here me and the wife had a air b and b and it was terrible so we left it to here for 1 night and one night only arrived at 3 pm and left the next day at 9 am to the Hilton.
It was a great spot for 1 night ! The rooms are a bit older and assuming since it’s in the jungle feeling in the trees along the ocean it’s very humid it had a bit of a musty smell but was still perfect for the night breakfast was for 2 meals in the am and 1 letre of coffee trout to took in am was around 5200 xpf food for breakfast was not bad at all
Beacon eggs etc
The steak place is just up the road you can go eat was great !!
The best part of this place is 100% ocean morning view and or ocean view in general almost right across from the picnic island of Moorea , and not far down from coco beach, you can rent a kayaks or paddle boards and head down to both islands from here
The water was very clean you can see everything too to bottom in the area tons of fish we had a good time for the night it’s a great place to transfer
Nice people clean room for the most part but a bit musty we had the lowest end room they had for the night left. Princess somthing
