We had an unexpected stay here because of a medical emergency. All of the staff were very attentive and kind. They assisted us with so many things during our stay to make a difficult situation a little easier. Hotel is new and rooms are very nice.

Nice hotel with nice gardens. We only had a short 1 night stay and departed very early am! But we could not fault this property. Staff were helpful and friendly and the gardens had chickens and baby chicks wandering around which I thought was lovely. Great sunset view overlooking the black sand beach from the garden.

Spacious flat with well-equipped and stocked kitchen. But what I especially appreciated is the super nice and helpful host, who for a small extra fee picked me up from and dropped me off at the airport, making for a super smooth experience. Thank you!

    About 90% of excursions were water related activities and if that’s not your passion it’ll take a bit of effort to find nature, culture options. What I didn’t like as a solo traveler is that Viator tours were mainly required a couple/2 person minimim booking. Thankfully booking.com excursions was a life saver. Most restaurants are closed between 2-5 pm so keep that in mind. I’m not a foodie so I didn’t explore the fine dining options. Papeete lacks a robust night life, it’s more a “get away from real life” and relax that caters to water sports types. I realized I’m a “city girl” type so after 3 days of chilling I was restless.

    Papeete is a dump! We expected more from the French.

    Papeete is a dump! We expected more from the French. Very 3rd world, unsafe water, no sidewalks, trash and graffiti abounds, bums begging, dirty drainage canals, and for this you are charged extremely high prices for everything! Bora bora wasn't much better... Moorea was nice. We took a cruise to the Marquesas and Tuamotus which were still unspoiled and gorgeous with genuine natives. The islands are stunning, but just go to Hawaii.

    Papeete itself is very bland and the market is over-rated (in my opinion). I wished I had planned properly and spent few nights at Moorea, but I didn't know what to expect. Rookie mistake 🫣 Lessons learnt. Despite mixed advice from the locals, I felt safe walking at night, which is a positive outlook for the Island 🙏 As many reviewers have mentioned, Papeete is only a good stopover to the other islands 🏝 😀 The 2 highlights of my stay was the day trip to Moorea, doing the safari excursions and the cultural night at the InterContinental Hotel.

    Over-all it was great.

    Over-all it was great. We spent 7 days on Tahiti, plus a half-day excursion on Moorea. 5 days on Tahiti would probably be enough. Next time we will visit a couple of others islands for a few days. Good food and shopping in Papeete.

    Spending a day or two there would have been enough, there was obvious poverty, with multiple homeless people. Not what I expected at all. I hired a car to visit the sites, but when I was driving around, everything looked closed, or uninviting. As a solo tourist, this wasn't the best place to visit. If I had known better, I would have book a night & visited the different islands.

    The people are what make it so good.

    The people are what make it so good. Very polite people who appear to be honest and kind. The shopping mall across the road from the Hilton was a wonderful place with a food hall and a good supermarket. We enjoyed a day trip to Moorea and a taxi trip around that island. Also the 5-hour Tahiti group trip and the boat trip. I did not do any snorkelling as I do not swim and I thought perhaps an activity in knee-high water could have been included in the boat trip. The Museum of the Islands was a good activity.

    The accommodation was in a great location, a short walk to the city along Papeete waterfront or local bus just 2 minutes away as was the Champion Grocery Store and Bank of Tahiti ATM. The assistance we received in the early morning airport transfer and then at the end of the stay to the cruise ship terminal made our stay very stress free. Really nice apartment with all facilities. Thankyou to the hosts

    Everything we needed for a quick overnight stop in Papeete. Close to the port & airport, and walking distance to shops. Space was really spacious and comfortable with everything we needed to cook a simple meal. Easy to access the property with the host’s instructions and great communication from the host too. Thanks for a great stay, would definitely recommend!
