Warm tropical year round temperatures, the Society Islands are a tropical destination so humidity, rain, sunshine and heat are all to be considered. There are two seasons: the Summer which is from November through March and Winter which is from April through October. The average temperature in Summer is about 30°C and in the drier Winter the average temperature is about 28°C. Most rainfall is during the Summer months with high humidity. The best time weather wise with the least risk of storms is in their Winter months. June to August is windy season and can be extremely gusty.
Insider's View
Stay in an Overwater bungalow where the reef drops dramatically underneath – great for snorkelling and watching the fish life go by.

Description
Manava Beach Resort & Spa is a traditional Polynesian style hotel situated amongst tropical gardens with 7.5 acres of beachfront. This romantic, luxury retreat enjoys wonderful views of the crystal lagoon and pineapple plantation covered mountains.
The Manava Beach Resort and Spa, situated on 21 acres of tropical gardens which meets the soft white sand of the idyllic beach, is a traditional Polynesian style hotel. Only 2 miles from the magnificent Cook's Bay, the location of the resort is simply stunning.
The 95 Garden, Beach and Over-Water Bungalows have spacious, simply designed interiors with high ceilings, comfy seating areas and outside, large wooden sun decks overlook the lush tropical gardens, the beach and the lagoon. Family rooms have been specifically designed to accommodate families in comfort.
The hotel also has two restaurants - one for fine dining, one for more relaxed cuisine - both serving delicious Polynesian flavours with international influences and there is an inviting poolside bar where from time to time a local Polynesian band plays in the evenings. Opulent in-room dining is available for those wanting to spend the evening in the comfort of their own room.
The Manava Beach Resort has a wide range of activities and excursions for guests who are able to drag themselves from the poolside or beach to enjoy. These include including lagoon fishing, shark feeding, catamaran cruises and horse riding. For those keen on the underwater life, the hotel's PADI dive school can introduce you to the rich underwater marine life of the area. The Manea Spa is another place to lose yourself, with traditional Polynesian products integrated into a wide range of soothing and healing treatments in an oasis of calm and rejuvenation.

Reviews
Juliet Morris (Staff)
Like all the Pearl Beach Resorts, the Moorea Pearl Beach Resort offers a true Polynesian experience on this lush island. This hotel is smaller than the other resorts we feature on Moorea resulting in a more intimate atmosphere. It is a 4 star standard as it lacks some facilities such as a gym and tennis courts, but the accommodation is comfortable and as well as a small spa, a dive centre and water sports on-site, they also have a tattoo centre, so you can really experience the local culture! I really liked the feel and atmosphere at this hotel - it had a relaxed and happy buzz. The Beach bungalows are right on the beach and reminded me of huts on the beach in Thailand and the Over-water bungalows are located over the reef which dramatically drops below - much more than any other over-water bungalows I saw in French Polynesia. This is fantastic for viewing the fish life passing below, but not suitable for less able swimmers or those scared of fish!
This is a traditional Polynesian style hotel, a great place to stay during your visit to Moorea.
