Top Papeete Hotel Reviews
Hotel Tahiti Nui
8/10 Good
"Quickly got us checked in after a late night flight. Only stayed for one night but was extremely friendly and was able to get us a cab in the morning. Would stay again."
Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea
10/10 Excellent
"I have read many reviews on Manava and chose to come here for a holiday. It far exceeded my expectations. From a huge mess up on my part, booked 2027 instead of 2026, they went above and beyond to help me. Particularly the manager Maeva was exceptional in assisting me with all things (other mess ups like leaving stuff at previous hotel). I can’t say enough about the staff here including the front desk staff including Elsa and another manager (man) all were exceptional in customer service. The food was delicious and the staff was excellent as well. I went snorkelling early in the morning and saw two turtles, a shark and 2 rays. I used the paddle boards and infinity pool. I loved that this hotel was small. They really take care of you. Hope to be back. Thank you for helping me have a wonderful holiday in beautiful Moorea."
Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Superbe site, chambre grande et propre. Accueil chaleureux. Très belles installations plage, piscine, restaurant. Souper et show marquisien un must, très bonne nourriture et divertissement. Seul point de vigilance, attention au paiement final. J’avais deja acquitté une partie de la facture sur Expédia et on a tenté de me faire payer le montant total. Après plusieurs minutes de discussion et des preuves de paiement, ils ont appliqué le montant déjà payé, mais si je n’avais pas été vigilante, j’aurais payé en double."
Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki
10/10 Excellent
"I was a little concerned when I saw that it was a shared bathroom but when I got there I had a better understanding of it. They had several toilet shower rooms and they were all single. They had a men's side and then down a different Hall they had the women's side. Probably five each hallway. They were always available when I needed one. It had nice shampoo, body wash and conditioner. In your cabin they had two towels so you just bring the towels. And one thing I was concerned if I had to get up in the night how hard would it be getting to it but it is just right down the hall it was lovely. My room was really cool, bunk beds but it was just me High-speed internet which was complimentary and plenty of places for both for C and regular chargers, yes it's a small room only the beds and a refrigerator, a couple hooks for your jacket and backpack. Everything was high quality. Floor one where I stayed it had a courtyard and had an espresso machine or tea. I sat there on a wicker swing m for 2 hours just enjoying nature and the beauty and it rained but didn't get wet because I was undercover. I loved it, I wish I would have stayed longer. I just stayed one night to get on a cruise ship."
Tahiti Lagoon Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed 5 nights in an overwater bungalow Great experience. Snorkeling outside the bungalow is really nice. Plenty of fish. The food at the beach restaurant was really good with excellent service. We will definitely return!"
InterContinental Resort Tahiti by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay in Tahiti was absolutely unforgettable, and this hotel exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine Polynesian hospitality that made us feel right at home. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and offered stunning views that made every morning feel like paradise. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and every detail was thoughtfully prepared to ensure a relaxing stay. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. Everyone was warm, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile with recommendations, assistance, and friendly smiles. Their outstanding service made us feel like valued guests throughout our visit. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to explore while still offering a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The facilities were excellent, and every part of the property was impeccably maintained. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, luxury, and authentic Tahitian hospitality, this hotel is the perfect choice. We created memories that will last a lifetime and would not hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!"
