Cook's Bay Hotel and Suites

Cooks Bay Resort was spectacular. Our family of 5 stayed 8 nights in early April and we had the best time. So new, clean, great service! The snorkeling in front of the hotel is wonderful, we saw a black tipped reef shark, sea turtle, octopus, eel, and just about every color fish imaginable. My kids used the hotel’s snorkel equipment every day. We loved the pool and comfortable cabanas (free). Le Cook is a really beautiful restaurant, we had dinner there 3 times, lunch twice, breakfast only once. Wish they had a breakfast buffet-pancakes/omelet bar/fruit. Pool bar food is expensive, so we ate at Le Cook for lunch because they were the same price but Le Cook has a kids menu. Our room had a gorgeous ocean view and we enjoyed the balcony every day. Perfect location. We had a rental car and loved driving around Moorea to explore/do excursions. We bought groceries for breakfast &snacks. Food truck across the street is great! Also found great restaurants nearby- our favorite was Tasty Moorea over by the Moorea Activities center on the other bay. We also had great dinners at the Hilton and Manava Resorts, we saw neat sea creatures from their bridges. Sofitel breakfast buffet!! We liked the restaurants across the street and next door to the Manava too. Best nearby public beach: Ta’ahiamanu- BEAUTIFUL white sand. Overall, we had a perfect stay at Cooks Bay Resort, we will definitely stay here again! (Avis car rentals are WAY more convenient to the ferry terminal, than Thrifty/Hertz)!
