Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa Hotel Review and Room Tour!

The Hilton Moorea is a place that’s near and dear to our heart after our first visit in 2018 when we absolutely fell in love with the crystal clear waters and majestic location. While it may not be the most luxurious resort in French Polynesia, guests can expect genuine interactions with staff and a stunning backdrop for their vacations.

Between the dramatic mountain, stunning sunsets and magnificent blue lagoon that stretches as far as the eye can see, the Hilton Moorea has one of, if not the best, locations in Moorea. Due to its spectacular location, you will see sunrises and sunsets each day from the overwater bungalows.

We arrived to the property around 3pm and were able to check into our overwater bungalow promptly. The service at the front desk was excellent and the front desk agent was extremely kind and patient. Unfortunately, the Hilton has removed their bell services and a number of onsite services such as glassware for welcome beverages, but the hotel is truly doing everything it can to maintain the higher levels of standards that they used to have. We were served pineapple juice in our plastic cups, for which the agent was very apologetic for. The agent went through a very detailed explanation of the hotel’s amenities, facilities and tips for where to go and what to do.

The Hilton Moorea offers a few different types of rooms on property: Garden rooms with pools, partial overwater bungalows facing out to the lagoon and overwater villas. They do also have a garden view room, but it seems to be primarily used as transit rooms. The garden rooms with pools will be the most private, but will not offer any exterior views. Many people split their stay between garden rooms with pools and then overwater bungalows. If you go this route, be sure to book the overwater for the second half of your trip :).

Overall, the staff at the Hilton were incredibly kind, authentic and hospitable. While the service lacks the refinement of a 5-star property, we believe a lot of this comes to some fairly severe understaffing at the hotel. Across the board, we saw maintenance people supporting the waitstaff and security guards acting as bellmen. The staff we engaged with were doing their absolute best to provide the best service they could to guests. We genuinely had very nice interactions with staff and most of them spoke perfect English. We did notice that, at times, people near or next to us had slightly different experiences: forgotten drinks, forgotten meals, etc so we do recognize that it can be quite hit or miss.

Overall, we really enjoyed the dining outlets at the Hilton, especially when ordering local dishes such as Poisson Cru (local raw fish, like a ceviche) or the grilled fish. We did find a lack of traditional dishes available, which did make the menu more limited when looking for 5 star dishes.
