Resort day pass on Moorea

[matamanoa]

I've posted this on our roll call as well in hopes of getting some responses.  We are thinking of getting a day pass at the Hilton resort on Moorea and was wondering if anyone has done this before and how the resort was.  Was the beach nice?  We know we'll have to take a taxi to the resort from where the tender dock is but we'd like to know how far away it is and are taxis readily available?

 

TIA

Beach is nice but on the smaller size ...

About 3 1/2 - 5 miles to the Hilton

Some taxis but not many  ... if you get one to get you to the Hilton make sure you pre-book for the same taxi to come and get you 😉

Thanks so much for your reply and the pictures.  My husband is a bit concerned about the taxi issue and not being able to get back to the ship on time for all aboard if a taxi doesn't come back for us.  We'll have to ponder a while on this one.

I normally don't give my personal contacts but I know your not on the same cruise as I am .... so hopefully you connect with her ... We've known her for almost 30 years.

That is very kind of you to pass along her information.  And it's too bad that we're not on the same cruise, it would have been nice to meet you in person.  Perhaps someday...

Can anyone confirm the price and what is included for the Hilton Day Pass, do they need booking in advance ? 
Thanks

Yes I booked for my visit this coming April. My biggest concern is getting a taxi there & back. I did correspond with a taxi driver in Moorea & he assured me that there would be taxis available.

Thanks, would you mind sharing your experience after your cruise ?

This equates to approx £73 per person, taking into consideration the facilities, lunch and drink offer, I think this looks great value.

Do you have to pay in advance to secure the booking ?

Have you contact details for the taxi you contacted please

I was in contact with Joseph from Jotours. He said we could not reserve in advance because the port has strict rules about that & it's first come, first served but that we should not have a problem as there are many drivers. He said we could arrange with a driver to come back & pick us up when we want to leave.

So we leave this Saturday on the Grand Princess & yesterday I got an email from the Hilton saying that they are canceling all of the day pass reservations for April since the resort is fully booked. Good luck with your trip!
