Mark’s Place Paradise

The open, well-planted garden, creative, cosy dorm bungalows and surfy/social atmosphere make this a good backpacker option on Mo’orea, but we’ve heard the odd grumble about variable service. It’s away from the beach and just about everything else besides the Haapiti surf break, but bike and kayak rentals (1000 CFP per day) make getting around less of a chore. A handful of very cool private bungalows are also available (there's one made of stone and colourful bottles) and credit cards are accepted.
