“Ia Orana!” That’s the welcome greeting they use in Moorea - And what a welcome sight it was! Moorea is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The island itself is a mix of mountains, lush tropical greenery, and palm trees. And all surrounding the edge, you have the beautiful lagoons.
Just check out how gorgeous it was… btw, Mr. D took all of the photos used in this post himself!
Gorgeous, yes? We couldn’t believe we were actually here. We spent a good hour just checking out the resort, ooohing and ahhing over everything from the pool to the beach to our beautiful suite, which you can see below!
We spent the afternoon snorkeling and then later just relaxing by the pool. After a lovely meal, we enjoyed a stroll in the sunset and a Tahitian show they had at our hotel that evening.
Can I show you just what a beautiful place Moorea really is? Mr. D is getting into photography, so every evening and early morning, we set out to capture the island’s beauty on film!
A night shot of the bungalows…They have these lights at the bottoms so you can see underwater from inside your suite!
Some early morning sunrise shots Mr. D took the next day…
Aren’t these just so serene and beautiful?
And here’s a silhouette shot we took later on in the week…
Truly the most beautiful. place. ever. Talk about honeymooning in heaven on earth.
Up next: We discover the island!
Note: I am probably just biased, but I think Mr. D really took some gorgeous pictures! If you would like to borrow any of these for whatever reason, we’d sincerely appreciate if you credit the “Daffodils on Weddingbee” 
, as they are very personal and special to us!

A few pics were with my Canon SD1000 point and shoot, and most were with Mr. D’s digital SLR camera!
Those pictures are amazing- I can’t even imagine how beautiful it was in person! Were you staying in one of the bungalows over the water?
Absolutely breathtaking! Mr. D did a fabulous job documenting Moorea’s beauty.
I have been anxiously awaiting your updates as this is our honeymoon itinerary too. Where were you staying in Moorea?
Wow- talk about serene! I don’t know about you- but either that water would be so welcoming OR I would be a little intimidated putting ripples in the water and disturbing the calmness! *But how was swimming in the water out of curiosity? ;o)
THis looks amazing - would you be willing to share more of the planning info on it, like who you booked through?
@weddingholic: we split it up! we started with a garden bungalow and later on in the week moved to the overwater ones! actually, my objective opinion is that the overwater one is pretty cool just for the novelty, but the garden one was actually more comfortable and cleaner. mr. d and i actually really missed our garden bungalow, so if price is an issue at all, i’d recommend doing only a couple days in the overwater just for the experience and the rest of the time in the garden!
@Tjada: we stayed at the Sheraton Moorea! Beautiful resort and in our opinion, the best! Haha, we actually visited the other resorts just to check them out, and we concluded that we made the right decision…Sheraton is the prettiest and has the best beach!
@Sparkles: i know what you mean…it is so gorgeous! and the water was amazing! 
totally the perfect temperature!
@CarolineG: hey caroline, just saw ur post…We booked through Alison at Tahiti Travel Mate. She is great, responsive, and so on top of things! You can find some more info about her on one of my previous posts…

Awesome, we are staying there I can’t wait to see your future posts. We are doing a garden bungalow there and then doing the overwater bungalow in Bora Bora.
Mrs. Daffadil,
This looks absolutely breath taking. How long of a honeymoon did you take or would you suggest? I want to make sure to not take too short or too long of a honeymoon but just the right amount of time to take it all in.
Thank you
I am so enjoying your recap of Moorea! I can’t wait to see what you did on the island so we can compare notes!
I am feeling amazing, knowing your stay there. How would it feel actually staying over there?
Someone already asked this, but what camera are you using? I think the 6th shot down is particularly beautiful.
my hubby and i stayed at the Sheraton in Moorea and you are right, it certainly was great!! your pics are awesome!
We were at the Sheraton Moorea in June! So gorgeous and everyone is incredibly friendly and happy!
These pictures are AMAZINGGGG Mrs. D. I’m ooooozing with jealousy! Mr Peng and I will have to visit Tahiti one day…perhaps a 5 year anniversary?
PLEASE SHARE THE NAME OF THE RESORT AND HOW YOU BOOKED IT!! LOOKS LIKE A WINNER TO ME!
These gorgeous pictures brought back memories of my honeymoon as well! We spent time in Moorea and Bora Bora. We stayed at the Intercontineal in Moorea. Tahiti is amazing and you can not get used to seeing those gorgoues views every day you wake up. I felt as if we were stuck in a dream. Oh how I wish we were still there.
[...] We didn’t spend any time in Tahiti itself, but instead went straight to the ferry terminal for a quick boat ride to the nearby island of Moorea. (The Daffodils also honeymooned on Moorea! You can check it out here.) [...]
