Fare Club offers outstanding value. Louise and Harold are great hosts. Don't expect luxury, this is very good but basic accommodation. The lagoon access is great with good snorkelling on the two rock barriers to the left and right. The included breakfast is very good. It is all about the location and the family atmosphere. They get many local return customers which shows they are doing something right. I would stay here again if I went to Moorea. There are several good restaurants within very easy walking distance.

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!
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

Glamping in paradise
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.

Thank you for your comments, though we do apologize if you feel you had a poor experience during your one night at our accommodation. We feel our rates are correct for what we have to offer, though you cannot put a price on authentic polynesian hospitality, which is what we strive to show our guests everyday. If we had more time with you, we could have shared our experience of how we got to where we are today, and the history of the surroundings of our property, which is located in the old Club Med resort.We hope the rest of your cruise was wonderful, and we wish you all the best.

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.

A genuine polynesian experience
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.

I would like to thank our hosts and proprietors Louise, Francis, Tama and Garnier for a wonderful stay. We felt so welcomed and were taken of from the moment we arrived until we left. I stayed here in 1985 when it was Club Med. I wanted my family to experience the more typical Fare accommodations that were more common and affordable in the past like Fare Club. I liked relaxing in the garden and the beach is still beautiful. There are plenty of nice restaurants and stores within walking distance too. I wish I had more time there to really absorb the local lifestyle. You can’t find many places like this with a fantastic continental breakfast included for a true Polynesian experience for the price.

Fare Club was a gem. The bungalow was ready with fresh flowers throughout, the private beach (the water more specifically) was perhaps the best in Moorea and the incredible island opposite. Sunset views. Fresh fruit from the trees outside our bungalow every day. The service was outstanding.

Get the real Moorea experience
I had such a fun stay at the Fare Club. If you are looking for a local experience this is the perfect place. The location is great, right across from the shopping center, and right by a really cute private beach. The family the hosts you are so helpful, kind, and more than willing to give recommendations and they even give really great tours. My stay here exceeded my expectations. It is a really great place for a solo traveler as well.

Our family bungalow was large and comfortable with private bathroom with hot water. Breakfast with coffee and baguettes are included. The property is located right across from the Pepite village, where the bus stops and local grocery store and restaurants are located. I would suggest bringing a flashlight/torch for walking at night. As they get more established with this business, I am sure more work around the grounds and beach area will bring this property up to tip top shape!

The Staff were amazing!! So kind and gracious. Very helpful. We even left one morning without breakfast and told them we would be back. Even though we returned after the breakfast hours they still served us. Property had everything we needed. As far as the room it had what we like in a room.... hooks, shelves, charging adapters, towles, warm water, and a fan. Great place and very cost effective while in Moorea.

If you're looking for a place with Tahitian vibes, this is it. Very simple bungalow but comfy beds. No a/c but the floor fans were enough at night. The nearby beach is beautiful. Walking distance to little grocery store, little restaurant/roulotte A l'Heure du Sud ( be patient as service can take a while ). Simple breakfast includes milk/coffee/tea/ fresh baguettes and butter and yummy locally made jams. Some bungalows are home to locals, and in Tahiti the day starts early ( be prepared for a little noise - cars, people chatting ). Also lots of roosters that don't differentiate day from night, which is part of the local life ( if your'e a light sleeper, I recommend bringing ear plugs ).

Iaorara Anonimous, thank you for the fair comment that reflect the good side most favoribly and the reality of the local style life that reflects polynesia in opposition to citylike noises from the streets. Come to Moorea not to sleep only but to go out lagoon and mountain trecking. Roosters and mosquitos and sharks witb morey eels are our wildest dangerous creatures out there, but our pets. So we hope Polynesia will never change, ever.

Best location on Moorea with the best beach (IMO).
Fare Club is on the the former grounds of Club Med. The entrance is directly across from the information booth at Le Petite Village with its restaurants, markets (2), bus stop (buses in both directions end at this point). The beach is great (soft sand) with good snorkeling off to the right and it faces 2 motus which you can swim too (I did) or rent a kayak or paddle board. We were visited by sting rays here, and snorkeled with sharks and eagle rays further out.The accommodation is nice and simple, has fans, plus a small fridge. Breakfast consists of (bread, juice, tea, jam), at the communal kitchen. You can of course supplement with food of your choice. Louise, Francis, and Tama are very nice and if you need help ask and they will do their best to assist you. Louise helped us book a tour and had a copy of the bus schedule (times are flexible) which we took pictures of as we rode the bus several times.
