"Very nice staff"

"Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Tahiti, Maison Taina is a true guest house gem, that encapsulates the essence of a tranquil family experience. From the moment we arrived, which was around 2am, we were greeted by Laurent and Tom and felt the warmth of Tahitian hospitality. Valerie, Laurent and Tom went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was special. The accommodations at Maison Taina are modern with understated elegance and comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the culinary experience at Maison Taina. Tom made us a dinner showcasing the vibrant flavors of Tahitian cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It was the best meal we had on Tahiti! Perfectly grilled Mahi-mahi with a garlic and vanilla sauce and the best crème brulee we have ever had! Laurent made us breakfast with croissants and café au lait and eggs and fresh fruit and Valerie and Laurent talked with us about the local culture and the “ma’ohi spirit of Tahiti. In addition to its beautiful accommodations and delectable dining options, Maison Taina helped arrange a car rental for us, recommended beaches and best places to buy Tahitian pearls. The beauty of Tahiti combined with the unparalleled hospitality of the French owners, Valerie and Laurent, created a memorable holiday that will linger in our memories. "

"The beautiful view of the water and the friendliness of the hotel workers, it was a very relaxing pleasure staying here."

"The hosts were so kind and accommodating to our family. Our flight schedules changed and they were easily flexible. They made arrangements for a rental car and offered advice about sightseeing. The pension serves visitors of all ages and is welcoming and comfortable."

"Incredible experience at a true eco-lodge in Teahupo'o Beautifully constructed cabins with incredible authenticity Great layout and comfort for a family Note: cabins are open air, almost treehouses, with no walls or air conditioning Nice pools, although one was closed Beautiful restaurant gazebo (also open air) This location requires a car; there is nothing to walk to"

"Nous avons eu un magnifique séjour. L’accueil a été très chaleureux et le service à la clientèle excellent tout au long de notre présence. "

"We gave this 5 stars because the location and amenities fit us perfectly and it was exactly what we needed. We stayed for 4 glorious restful days. Victor, our host, was very careful about giving us our privacy yet extremely helpful with setting up with anything we needed. Henrique, his helper was also very helpful. Victor even arranged for us to receive a coconut (each) and Henrique opened them right in front of us. The juice was delicious and so was the meat. I didn’t know coconut meat could be so soft and easy to access. The bungalow was immaculately clean. Our huge freshwater tub was cleaned and filled upon our arrival and was very refreshing in hot weather as well as after a long swim in the lagoon and outdoor shower. There were stores nearby where we bought supplies for meals and a galley kitchen with stove, cooking plates and small fridge. Everything we needed after a 30 hour transit time from home. It was so nice to sleep with open windows and doors overlooking Victor’s beautiful garden and the lagoon. Even the rain was pleasant as we could sit out on the porch. The continuous breeze wafted with the enticing smell of tiare and plumbago flowers early morning and evening. The small fish pond was full of fish and a beautiful place to sit and think or meditate. We were entertained for hours watching the antics of the birds. I have to add that Victor’s wife was also very welcoming and helpful. She even sent Victor to us in the rain with blankets in case we got cold!"

"What an amazing place to stay in Tahiti! It’s away from all the tourist and beautiful. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and were available to help anytime day or night. They offered lots of information and directions about local attractions and would even call places for us since we didn’t speak French. The bungalows were beautiful overlooking the ocean. Someone wrote that it’s very steep getting up to the house, but it’s no steeper than the hills in downtown Seattle. Have to climb a little to stay at a place with incredible views. No problem in an automatic or manual small car or large vehicle. There is a nice beach directly across the road and it’s situated in a perfect area to see all the attractions and beaches. The best grocery store nearby is Hyper U and is only a 5 minute drive. You can buy cheap fresh fish there and cook on the gas stove or they have grills for you to use. My kids pretty much had the pool to themselves. This is where I would always return to unless I had the money to stay in a bungalow on the water. Thank you Cedrick and Poe for the wonderful hospitality and amazing stay!"
