Ideal location, helpful manager, and great property
Posted May 27, 2024 on HomeAwayJenny, the property manager was great with checkin explaining things, offering recommendations, and answering questions. The views from the expansive deck are out of this world. The location is ideal and convenient, particularly if you have a car. Owner Marc was also great with answering questions with the booking, driving in Moorea, and directions. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would book this unit again. Highly recommended.

Excellent stay!
Posted May 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWe absolutely loved our eight-night stay at the villa! The views are incredible and the villa is so gorgeous! Jenny, the property manager, was also very responsive to questions etc! We would absolutely recommend this place and we hope to be back soon!

Beautiful and Safe
Posted May 19, 2024 on HomeAwayVilla is in a beautiful location. It is gated and safe. It’s also very quiet. Views were amazing. The hot tub doesn’t get hot, but that’s noted in the other reviews. It’s perfect for the afternoon when you get back from doing activities. WiFi is strong and there’s a parking stall up front. Jenny greeted us earlier than scheduled and presented us with a beautiful fruit platter. The villa was fully stocked, although we did not cook or use the kitchen at all. Beautiful villa for those who want to get away from the hotel scene.

Incredible views & great location
Posted May 13, 2024 on HomeAwayThe views at this property can't be beat! There is even a stunning view from the shower. AC in the bedroom was great for sleeping and we didn't really need it any other time due to the great breeze. It has a very well equipped kitchen for anything you would want to make. Jenny the property manager was very responsive and was able to let us check out late on our last day. Beach chairs were a huge plus. Be prepared that the jacuzzi is not heated! This was a bit shocking on my first day as I tried to go in around 4pm when there was no sun on it. The next day I went in around noon and it was perfect. A nice little cool down from the afternoon sun. I would definitely stay again!

Hi Ashley,
Thank you again for choosing Villa Honu for your stay in Moorea and for your positive review.
Regarding the jacuzzi not heating, it is correct that it does not heat 24/7. As indicated by Jenny at all check ins, and as mentioned in the detailed villa's guide, the jacuzzi heating system does heat from 5 pm to 10 pm. It does increase by a few Celsius degrees per hour.
There is also a blue plastic bubble blanket that can lay on the jacuzzi during the day, which will heat the water during sunny days. The jacuzzi will not reach the 40 Celsius degrees, as it is typically the case in hot tubs in the US. Our jacuzzi does only provide supplemental heat, and is meant to to be used more as a refreshing pool in this hot climate.
I hope this will help future guests! Thank you again for your feedback. Marc

Good stay with excellent views
Posted Mar. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayOverall a great experience. The views of the ocean are fantastic and the amenities are quite nice. The interior is excellently furnished. We even enjoyed the pool and tennis court. Only downside was the non-functioning hot tub and gym. It looks great in the pictures but it was only upon arrival that we were told it was not in working order which would have been ok but the property manager kept saying it would get fixed throughout the week and it never did. So less a knock on the actual functionality of the hot tub (these things break sometimes) but more on the communication of it.

Hi Max, thank you again for staying at Villa Honu! Since your stay, the Legends Residences has completed the refurbishing of the gym equipment, and they have re-opened the gym. Also, the spa/jacuzzi pump has been quickly replaced. I am sorry for the inconvenience! Marc

Breathtaking villa
Posted Feb. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayMy family of four (2 kids age 6&10) spent a week in February at this stunning villa. We loved everything about it!! The communication with the manager was excellent. The check in & check out process was a breeze. The villa was well equipped with everything that we needed. The location was perfect, close to everything ( given that you have a car), a beautiful beach, where you can rent out a boat or kayak to go to Coco beach, or to see stingrays and sharks, grocery stores, restaurants ( our favorite was Snack Mahana). Our kids really enjoyed to cool down in the chilly jacuzzi and the pool after a hot day at the beach. The last, but not least- the views from the terrace are just to die for!!! Would definitely come back!!!! ☺️☺️

Paradise on earth!
Posted Feb. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayThis location was more beautiful than the pictures! We had a stunning view of the lagoon and a large deck from which to enjoy it. The place was very clean and included every amenity (including beach chairs and snorkel gear) that made our stay very comfortable.
Jenny the property manager was very responsive, helpful and accommodating.
Definitely a place worth returning to!

Luxury and Comfort in Moorea
Posted Dec. 31, 2023 on HomeAwayThis was our family's second time in Moorea. Although some folks might want ocean front or overwater bungalows, we rented a car and did not mind driving 3 minutes to the beach. The location of this property is outstanding, in a gated community, perched on hillside with the BEST views of the BEST part of the island. The unit is super luxurious, with everything you need, including beach supplies, snorkels etc (though we brought our own). Waking up, having coffee on the deck, while decideing which beach we were going to visit, was great. Then, in the afternoon, coming home making a drink and sitting in the hot tub overlooking the reef pass was a perfect way to wind down. The property manager, Jenny, was very attentive and very responsive to every request. For our family of 4, this place was perfect. We will be back.

Amazing
Posted Aug. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayWe come to Moorea every year. This is our first time staying at this property. It was perfect! The unit has an amazing view of the lagoon. We sat on the deck every morning drinking our coffee, eating breakfast and watching whale spouts and breaches. The unit was equipped with everything we needed to cook from home, relax and enjoy the island life. We generally stay in high end rentals / hotels. I would rate this 5 out of 5.

Amazing find!
Posted Jun. 18, 2023 on HomeAwayThis is an amazing property in a gated neighborhood with all the amenities you need. Jenny greeted us and was easily reachable. They provided a bottled water cooler, AC in the bedrooms, snorkel sets and beach chairs, and a crib for our infant. The hottub is certainly a bonus feature which was great for sunsets and evening.
They are located close to the activities, but we would recommend having a car to stay here and exploring the island
