Chip, were you meaning Samoa instead of Moorea? Moorea is still more-or-less part of the "show room" and so gets the full on loud show sounds. Tahiti and Samoa (my personal faves) are nice and quiet with just the right level of exotica and Polynesian-tinged music playing as you enjoy your dinner.

Yes, thank you, I meant Samoa and Tahiti.

Moorea has an outrigger canoe hanging from the ceiling and there is a story for the canoe.... Mrs. Thorton (who was not yet Mrs Thorton) sailed the canoe across the lagoon that used to be in front of the Mai Kai during the wedding ceremony where she became Mrs Thorton.

If you do sit in 'the back' for dinner you have to at least walk through Samoa because that is where the Shrunken Heads are!

I was told a different story. That canoe was brought back from Tahiti where Robert and Mirielle used it to visit her parents before marraige. All good stories!
