Hotel Les Tipaniers is a small boutique hotel alongside a small, picturesque beach on the north-west coast of Moorea. The beachfront has a shallow sandy-bottom lagoon, lots of water activities including a scuba diving centre and overlooks two small deserted motu islands just off the shoreline.
Les Tipaniers offers 4 catagories of bungalow; Standard, Garden, Beach and Vanilla Bungalows, and a basic Garden room. Most of the bungalows were refurbished in 2018. The 4 basic Garden rooms are located in 1 building set in the gardens, just behind the main reception and offers 1 double or 2 single beds, an ensuite bathroom with shower, ceiling fan, small fridge, in-room safety box, flat-screen TV, and a small terrace overlooking the gardens. The Standard Bungalows offer 1 double plus 1 or 2 single beds, or can be 4 single beds, ensuite bathroom with hot shower, ceiling fan, min-fridge, in-room safety box, flat-screen TV, and sliding doors opening to a private furnished terrace with views of the landscaped gardens, and just a short walk to the beach. The Garden and Beach Bungalows with Kitchenette are the same, just in different locations. They provide the same amenities as the Standard Bungalows, but are larger, have a separated sleeping area with a double bed, 2 single beds/day beds in the living area, dining table and chairs and small kitchenette with gas stove, fridge, sink, kettle and basic dishes, pots and pans. The Beach Bungalows are facing the beach and the Garden bungalows are arranged around the garden close to the shoreline. The Vanilla Bungalow is fairly new (2016) and located amongst the landscaped gardens, close to the beach. It is larger than the other bungalows and offers a separate bedroom with 1 double and 1 single bed, a spacious living area with 2 single/daybeds, dining area with table and 4 chairs, flat-screen TV, kitchenette with gas stove, fridge, sink, kettle and basic dishes, pots and pans and sliding doors opening on to a private furnished deck.
The Hotel Les Tipaniers has a well-reviewed restaurant that is popular with locals and visitors alike. They offer breakfast, lunches and afternoon snacks, including fresh fish, salads, grilled meats, pastas and burgers, all cooked from fresh, and for dessert, home made ice cream, fresh baked pies and fresh tropical fruits! The view is beautiful, as it is right on the beach overlooking the lagoon, and the bar offers a good variety of drinks, with live music every friday, too. If you don't want to eat at the hotel, there are a number of other hotels and resorts nearby, where you are welcome to visit their restaurants, and the shops, bars and restaurants of Le Petit Village are just a short 15 minute walk away.
The hotel is located on a lovely white sand beach with access into the warm shallow lagoon. There is not too much coral close to shore, so has a lovely sandy bottom, ideal for paddling and swimming. They have complimentary canoes for guests, and also offer table tennis, volleyball and petanque boules. Nearby, there are a number of tours and excursions, and the hotel can book manyh of these for you. Wi-Fi internet access is available in the main lobby building only.
The Hotel Les Tipaniers is an excellent value base with a good selection of amenities and is close to the Little Tourist Village with its boutique shops, supermarket and restaurants. If you are travelling on a smaller budget, this property would be a good choice.

Although there are frequent
international flights into Tahiti, French Polynesia's international
gateway to the World, there are limited airports of embarkation to
choose from, with currently only Paris, Los Angeles, Auckland and
Tokyo offering single plane air service to Tahiti.
The international airline for French Polynesia. is Air Tahiti
Nui, who operate daily flights from Paris and Los
Angeles to Tahiti, and on some days there are additional fights
to/from Los Angeles. In addition, they operate two weekly flights
to/from Auckland and they serve Tokyo twice a week. Their services
to New York and Sydney have been suspended, at this
time.
Air France
currently offer a service from Paris, three times a week via Los
Angeles
Air New Zealand
operates daily flights via LA to Papeete, and 5 days a week from/to
Auckland with it's own aircraft. It also operates a codeshare
arrangements with Air Tahiti Nui providing seats on their fights
from Tahiti to Auckland and Los Angeles.
United Airlines operate 3 times
a week from San Francisco to Papeete, on Tuesday, Thursday and
Sunday, which will connect to their daily flight from
Heathrow.
Air Calin
operate a weekly flight between Noumea, in New Caledonia, and
Tahiti.
Hawaiian
Airlines provide a weekly service between Honolulu and
Tahiti, currently operating on a Saturday/Sunday schedule.
LANChile
operate a flight once a week from Santiago to Tahiti via
Easter Island, providing the availability to do a great side trip
from Tahiti to Easter island.
Air Tahiti is
French Polynesia's domestic airline, which operates an extensive
domestic flight network covering all the country's main islands,
with at least a daily service. With the main Society islands
receiving a number of flights a day, since Air Moorea stopped
operations between Tahiti and Moorea, the flight connections now to
Moorea have become limited, most connections between the two are
now done by ferry boat.
The less populated and outer islands have a restricted service, so
sometimes a night stop in Tahiti may be required when connecting to
these islands.
Air Tahiti
provide the only air service between Tahiti and the Cook islands,
which they currently do once a week on a Thursday, an extra high
season flight is operated between June and August
There are a number of aircraft and helicopters available for private charters, but they all tend to be based in Tahiti so arranging charters between the outer islands can be expensive as the aircraft will originate and terminate in Tahiti. Tahiti Nui Helicopters are one such company that operate resort transfers (where helipad available), inter-island flights and sightseeing trips. Contact us for further info.
