What is Moorea
If you are visiting French Polynesia on a budget, Moorea is the place to be. Moorea is like Tahiti but cheaper and less touristy. It's mostly rural and farming is big. There are chickens everywhere, the roosters crowing at 6am can get old after a few days. Mosquitoes can be a problem away from the coast. Bear that in mind when selecting a place to stay. There are only a few banks on Moorea located in only a few of the more populated villages. All banks are closed on Sundays. You can make currency exchanges at the major hotels. But at a lower rate. Plan accordingly.

About Moorea
karolina from Finland wrote about Moorea one month, one week ago
This island is a paradise. Stay at the Hilton resort and splurge on the over water bungalow (preferably the farthest ones from the beach, called king horizon or panoramic view). You'll get amazing views, privacy and for most practical purposes a private coral reef. Snorkel all day, take breaks only to reapply sunscreen. It is expensive for sure, but after going through all the effort of going to the other side of the world, budgeting on the accommodation is really a waste. An own bungalow over a coral reef is worlds apart from a beach resort holiday.
This place looks even better than the holiday brochures.
