Also on Moorea is the Sofitel which looks out to Tahiti. This hotel has by far the best beach on Moorea (arguably the only proper beach) though it is not a private beach.

There really isn't a good luxury option in Papeete, but the IC was so bad that I'd consider any alternative--perhaps the slightly more distant Le Méridien Papeete.

Thanks much Pausanias & bhrubin .
Will have to look into suggested options , hopefully the “ decent ” rooms / suites are still available .
