This place is the perfect location to enjoy one of the most beautiful beach of Moorea. Walking distance from the apartment (there's bungalows too), it's a little resort, feeling almost like home. There's a kitchen so you can make your own coffee and meals. The only improvement point will be to offer a few dishwasher pads (1 or 2) and coffee pods (2 or 3) so you don't have to go to the office to buy them. Other than I highly recommend this place.

This was my daughter and I’s first time staying on the island of Moorea and I think we couldn’t have picked a better place. We were provided with Apartment no.50 which was the closest apartment to the beach I believe. It was so convenient to step out our door, down a flight of stairs and approx 40 steps until we reached the beautiful beach. The apartment was clean and well appointed with all that was needed to cook meals if needed which we only used to make tea/coffees and spaghetti bolognese on one of the nights we were there. Otherwise we dined out at restaurants close by for the 4 nights we were there. The kayak/boat hire / scuba hire were also right there on the beach! We went snorkelling every day (with our own snorkel gear) and the waters immediately there were teeming with colourful fish in all the coral gardens present. I would choose this place to stay again on our next trip to Moorea without hesitation. I think this is ideal for families with young children who a beach with shallow safe waters if that is an important consideration.

Perfect place to stay!
We are so glad we chose to stay at the Residence Moorea Sunset Beach. The spacious garden suite we stayed in was well equipped for our 3 nights. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals. We found that the air conditioner in the bedroom was enough to cool the entire unit if the windows were closed. It's in a great location near shopping and on a beautiful beach near great snorkeling and the motus and shark and stingray area. We loved having our own outside shower to rinse off after the beach, and beach towels are provided. The loungers and dining table on our private patio were wonderful. It was also perfect having an in-unit washer and dryer. There is lots of parking and it's easy to come and go while having good security. The front office staff is helpful and kind. We'll definitely be back!

I had a lovely stay at this apart-hotel. The beach is literally 2 minutes away. The rooms are spotless and clean. AC and washer dryer was a huge plus. The staff is helpful in giving all the information needed. The kitchen is fully equipped, do bring basic seasoning like salt/pepper etc. There are 3 grocery stores and quite a few restaurants in about 10-15 minutes walking distance. I didn’t rent a car, so the proximity to the stores and restaurants were super helpful. Took the bus from ferry to the hotel and got a taxi with Moorea explorer back to ferry.

Well appointed rooms, beach close by but very shallow so good for young families. Draw back on beach is too many small boats very close by. Quiet area. Beautiful mountain back drop. Wifi good. Can walk to grocery stores and restaurants that are 1/3 to 1/mile away. You definitely want to rent a car for sone days.

Great location right by the beach, coral gardens, turtles/ rays/ sharks. Convenient store nearby. Clean and everything you need in apartment. We were 4 and stayed in a 2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom suite with kitchen, washer/dryer and large terrace. We spent 6 days and rented a car so we were able to move around as we pleased. We snorkeled on beach right by property, watched sunset nightly from pontoon, rented a boat twice to do our own tour again right on property beach (no need for license). Great access to coco beach restaurant and Tiki Village.

I love how this property was right on the beach. Overall it was good and looked very family-friendly. A solid budget option on Moorea, but a few minor complaints: -We didn't realize it was a 40-minute drive from the ferry terminal! -One of the AC units in our room was broken and leaking on floor the first night -I found a live cockroach in the bathmat

My wife and I arrived about an hour before check-in so we enjoyed a nice lunch nearby. Check-in went smoothly and we found a spacious updated comfortable apartment with a nice private deck overlooking the central garden area. The wonderful, shallow-water beach was only a few steps away. We're glad we had a rental car as most things: dining, groceries, shopping and the like were nearby but probably beyond walking distance. Be aware that coffee, paper towels, laundry detergent are not provided, but not a big deal for us. We received more than a good deal for the price we paid. We look forward to staying there again!

The A/C worked well and kept our bedroom cool but did not cool the sitting room or kitchen that well. The bed was very comfortable. The property is beachfront and the beach is sandy with some coral but the water is very shallow and there is some boat traffic. Good beach for lounging and sunning but not for swimming or snorkeling.

Sunset Beach really delivered on a beautiful, laid back island experience. It is on a beautiful beach that is a short walk from the rooms. Several restaurants and a store are a short walk away. The rooms are nice and clean. the local people are super friendly. The dive shop is 50 feet away on the beach. The sunsets are gorgeous. Rent a scooter or a car and explore Moorea for a day or two. Great place!

Response from Assistant Manager on 13 Mar,2023
hello Rita, this is your message during your stay in our etablishment : "Reservation was for a 1st floor room. At check in desk said 2nd floor was only room. Kitchen has No condiments even salt or pepper but enough equipment to start a cooking school. Can’t figure how the beach is one minute away."First , you booked on expedia a FIRST FLOOR SUIT ( the system of expedia traduce all our descriptions in english, and a first floor suit is a "Suite à l'étage" in french...). In our categories of suits, we have the First floor suit OR the garden suit, and you choose the first floor suit !! We are sorry that you did not like your accomodation .... All accomodations have a kitchen ALL EQUIPED with : a fridge, a microwave, a stove, a oven, an induction hot plate, coffee machine, a toaster, a kettle and you have all for cooking : plates, cutlery, cutting board, wine glasses, basic glasses, tea and coffee cup, bread and meat knife... For the hygiene safety, we don't let some salt or pepper in the room, we give you all the stuffs for cooking but not salt or pepper, sorry for that! And, you were in the first floor suit the most close to the beach ( this is less of 1minute by walk) we cannot understand your complain about the distance...We always work to improve the services, and always work to make better your stay. This is important for us to answer to this kind of comments that we don't understand.... Hope you will read thisBest regards and thank you for coming in our etablishment.

Highly recommended if you have a car.
There are many units behind the office where you check in. You’ll drive on gravels to your room so the car is necessary. Room was very clean. There was a washer and dryer. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need for vacation. You’ll have to buy coffee pods (tiny European type) and laundry detergent at the office. A/C was in bedroom and the kitchen/living room gets cool air from there so it was a little warmer. Beautiful beach is just a minute walk away. I don’t remember if they said they would provide beach towels. There wasn’t any in the room. Shower room needed a trash can. No screen door to the nice large balcony. Don’t forget to take mosquito repellent and itch cream. I visited in February. It was too hot to walk anywhere so I’m glad I found a car after contacting the cab company/ car rental agent which hotel email mentioned before our arrival.

What a wonderful place for family vacations. Great property for families with kids- having a kitchen was very helpful. The beach is very nice- shallow for a while yet some corals with fish around. Do not plan on staying in the top floor of the garden bungalow- no air conditioning on the second floor and too hot even with the fan- air conditioning only in the main bedroom . The front desk is super responsive and friendly. Amazing snorkeling with sharks and rays just 15 minutes by kayak or very quick by boat- rental facilities are right outside the property on the beach - very reasonable prices- $10 for 1 hour for 2-persons kayak. $60 for an hour for a boat with subsequent $20 per hour. Highly recommend

Great location and beach with corals, snorkeling, swimming, boating activities. Short walk to beach from bungalow. Nearby good shopping for food, essentials, and good choice of restaurants. Poor Accommodations that are not as advertised: - Bungalows do not have AC. Only one room in the whole bungalow has AC. The upper area, meant for sleeping has no AC and is HOT. The main living area, lacks AC. Unless you are only using the bedroom, expect to be hot. - No House Keeping: No daily house keeping service, unlike what is summarized on Expedia. You get 1 hand towel for 4 people, 4 bath towels for 5 days. You can wash and dry them yourself in the provided washer dryer in the room (which work well, but are noisy). You will have the pleasure to sweep your room with the provided broom and dump your own trash every day - Noise: Because the bungalows are meant to be cooled by natural air, the whole roof line is open for air circulation, along with very large slatted vents. These bring in all noise from the outside. The only quiet room is the one with the AC, which is about 1/3 of the bungalow. - You will wake up with roosters at 5 AM, and car noise (bungalow was 30M from the road and you could hear every moped, car and truck passing by). Again, the Bungalows have no sound isolation contrary to what is stated. And, lastly: lizards love the homes... If you are OK with doing your own work and don't mind the heat, and noise, location is excellent.
