フェア クラブ - モーレア(Fare Club - Moorea)

This hotel run by Louise and Harold offers a great experience to feel like one of the family. The accommodation is rustic, making use of the old Club Med site which has fallen into disrepair. Harold has restored seven of the bungalows and is working on more. The bungalows are very tastefully furnished. Breakfast is supplies in the communal eatery. They have many return customers so are definitely doing it right. The private beach access is close to two artificial reefs with many different fish and some huge sea anemones. The area is popular for kayaking and other beach activities. In the evening we saw sharks swimming just off the beach. There are good restaurants for dinner just opposite the site entrance.

Sweet Louise is very welcoming and it’s a rustic stay shall we say that while I won’t say anything negative, it was a little closer to camping/glamping than I prefer personally but may be someone else’s cup of tea…..kayaks weren’t available I was told so that was different than expected

Louise has created a gem at the Fare Club Mo’orea for budget travelers! Fare Club Mo’orea is situated on the grounds of the former Club Med. I believe Louise has 7 cottages that have been renovated. The cottages are exactly as described: they are clean, beds are comfortable, there’s a small fridge and large fan and the showers have a steady stream of hot water. The bathroom/shower area is extraordinary in design and you can see the original effort of Club Med which has survived beautifully. The property has 2 wonderfully equipped & friendly community kitchens where you can also leave your recycle items. Breakfast & the community setup are great with coffee, tea, juice, cereal, milk, baguettes, butter, jam and local bananas, etc! (You can buy eggs, etc from the local market and easily cook at one of the welcoming kitchens.) Mosquitos were around mid-day…my bug spray kept them away. There are also mosquito nets above the beds. The beach has tree swings, tables and chairs in a wonderfully shaded area looking down at the beach. It’s a great night spot, too! I visited with my sister in December… brought our snorkel gear, but they also had snorkel gear and kayaks available for free. Bring a flash light to view the night time show: stingrays and black tip sharks that like to feed after sunset! We met Louise and Harald who were always available to answer any of our many questions and to make recommendations…one of which was of the best places to snorkel was starting right at their beach. Louise advised us other visitors had showed her great snorkeling pics which were in front of the “old Club Med concrete discotheque”. This was a great area which we spent a few hours over 2 days exploring! We saw several stingrays and a few black tip sharks through our goggles while snorkeling! I’m a wimp, but felt assured the black tip sharks wouldn’t harm us! Across the street from property is a small shopping center with a friendly market where you can buy water, wine, beer, cheese, fruit, baguettes, etc. Also, a wonderful restaurant that makes great pizza: our favorite was the multi cheese and local honey pizza! If you want to stay at a way overpriced place and have no interactions with locals then this is not the place to stay!! We loved Louise and what she has created at Fare Club Mo’orea!

This place is on the old Club Med site and is a cluster of little bungalows. They are rustic. Like glamping. No air conditioning. But if this is your scene, then it’s amazing. Feels like summer camp, with an outdoor kitchen and an amazing simple breakfast. Great location with store and restaurants. A bit far from the airport and taxis are expensive. Moorea is stunning. Highly recommend this place.

Price was “too good to be true.” Amenities were one towel per person, a tiny bar of soap and a fresh breakfast. Room and bed were ok and bathroom was fine. Great shower. The disappointment came from piles or junk everywhere including cars, broken furniture, a bathtub and falling down old buildings. Beach was good but junky broken furniture and equipment in beach area took away from the experience. The place needs a bulldozer to carry away junk and tear down broken down buildings.

This place is funky and fabulous! It was rustic as in no air conditioning. The host Louise was friendly and helpful and answered all our questions. The included breakfast was very good. The club has its own beach where we snorkeled with sting rays and all kinds of tropical fish.

Nice cottage right on the beach with direct beach access. This property is run by a family and they are such kind-hearted people. Always willing to answer any questions or provided amenities to make my stay more comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the Polynesian breakfast of fruits, baguettes and coffee that was made every morning. Great value for the price and in a nice place of Mo'orea with shops, dining and nature tours all within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Literal paradise. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming, and the area has the most beautiful beach where you can see sharks and sting rays every day. Beautiful place to stay and would definitely book again

Not just a stay but an experience. This is a true polynesian stay - the people are warm, welcoming and friendly and really want you to enjoy sharing their wonderful lifestyle. If you want luxury, go elsewhere, but if you want a true Moorea experience in the best part of the island at a very economical cost, I highly recommend giving Fare Club a go.
