Hotels near Papeete Faaa airport

Pros: Room, pool, food, lawns, staff. All great.

Cons: We had a hard time getting into the ocean. Creating an entrance would be good.

Pros: Gorgeous view, beautiful grounds

Cons: Room was hot, duvet was too heavy, room was nice but nothing spectacular, food was good but crazy overpriced ($6 for a yogurt, $25 for nachos with cheese, $31 for a hamburger), $50 for a cab ride to town to get great food

The staff was very friendly beat location ever!!!!

Pros: I stayed here for one night prior to flying to Bora Bora. The room was quite expensive for what it was but this was to be expected for FP. The pool and beach area looked ok. I was able to order breakfast in the room and this was quite good - again expensive but came with a lot of food. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice stay prior to heading to another island but I don't know if it would be worth it to stay for a longer trip. Also, staff was wonderful.

Cons: Hotel definitely needs a refurb.

Pros: great location great food and awesome staff

Pros: The grounds of this hotel were fantastic. Between the pools, swimming lagoon, sitting areas, lounges and restaurants, it felt very spacious. Our room was beautiful, I loved the lighting and because we were on the first floor with a patio on the ground level, I was able to walk to either the ocean, the pool, or a restaurant in just a few steps.

Cons: The buffet breakfast was very poor. There was a long line to get a table and then a painfully slow long line to get to where the eggs were. By the time we got through, the few limited hot items that were available were cold. The food was mediocre and many trays were empty and not refilled, even though I was there during peak hours. I felt I wasted the whole morning waiting for limited bad food. This hotel needs to add more choices, keep them stocked up and put the omelette station elsewhere so that you don't have to wait endlessly in line to get the only eggs offered (except a bowl of soupy scrambled eggs and the hardboiled egg tray was empty.) I would highly recommend skipping this buffet.

Pros: Stunning views, great location, friendly staff

Cons: The bed was as hard as sleeping on a piece of plywood-very uncomfortable; the sheets were 'rough'; otherwise the room was great!

This resort went above and beyond all expectations to accommodate us. They even gave us a free 2-course gourmet dinner at their nicest restaurant as a gift for our honeymoon. The staff and locals were among the nicest people we ever met and we've done a lot of traveling around the world. Tahiti felt extremely safe and the locals are a very happy and kind people. I highly recommend this resort and we'll certainly be going back again! Also, it's worth mentioning that the tap water throughout the resort (including in the shower) is completely safe for drinking and there was no concern of getting sick once we realized this. Many people, including locals, agreed with us that this is the nicest resort on the island of Tahiti. You won't regret going!

Pros: Amazing property. Fun friendly staff. Comfy beds , good showers. Great views

Cons: No complaints. Property could use a decent maintenace guy. Lots of missing tils arpund pool area and around our tub. These are easy cheap fixes. A little grout a few tiles. Otherwise awesome place. I know were out in the middle of nowhere but $95 for food

Pros: Beautiful views and super convenient to and from the international airport.

Cons: Drinks like in the rest of French Polynesia can be quite expensive

Pros: The overwater bungalow was amazing!

Cons: Food and drink were expensive and service was not the greatest considering the price point.

Pros: It was in Tahiti. There was a good restaurant on site

Cons: When we opened the sliding doors, the ceiling tiles bounced with the wind. Our bags weren't brought to our room. We got there before checking time and getting a drink was a challenge as we didn't want to wade up to the bar in the pool in our street clothes. We were only staying there twelve hours between flights

Pros: Great location - near the airport and to town. Liked the shuttle service into town. Super helpful staff at the front desk and in activities area. Beautiful grounds, vistas, and settings for viewing sunsets.

Cons: Some staff in the restaurant could be a little more service oriented.

Pros: Nice location and very comfortable little Ohana. Being from Hawaii we were very at home in the setting.

Cons: The staff was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. This was our first negative experience in FP. The cat was delightful.

Pros: Located in a quiet and safe area. The bungalows are close to a private and clean lagoon. Eric made us feel very comfortable from the start. Je is very nice and very human. he does not live on the property but can be reached at any time, we will never forget our stay at this beautiful property. If you love nature, you are served: a nearby cat named Henri and a rooster waking you up around 6:50am. It was unforgettable. We will come back!!! We highly recommend this Hotel!!!

Cons: The only downside mosquitoes. Close the doors to avoid them

Pros: A very private and beautiful little beach, the sounds of the breakers way out on the reef, the birdsong, the flowering garden. Very friendly and accommodating host, although staff is not resident on the property. Easily accessible by email or text.

Cons: The beach recliner chairs could use replacing and the addition of cushions.

Cons: Impossibly beautiful Moorea. Poerani Moorea is a beautiful place to stay on the island. Eric the property manager was always available and helpful. The accomadations were clean and provided everything one might need. It was like staying at a glamping resort private with a beautiful beach and incredible ocean access.

Pros: Very pretty grounds, nice amount of space in the cottage we were in, extremely friendly and responsive staff,

Pros: Great access to the water. Bikes and cañíes available for use. Nice little kitchen. Comfortable bed. Clean! Shop nearby! Good wifi!

Cons: Mosquitos were a problem. Although the bed had a net there were no screens for windows or door. Bathroom and bedroom layout a little odd although nicely decorated. Open shower in the second bedroom would make it difficult for anyone except a family with young children. It is very expensive for what it is, but a nice spot.

Pros: Charming, romantic little bungalow, very cozy for one person in my case or would be perfect for two also. Extremely clean and the grounds are meticulously groomed. The whole property is lovely and has water access from a.pretty, grassy little beach. I didn't have a water view but it was only steps away if I wanted to sit by the water. Never missed it because I loved the privacy of my bungalow surrounded by a lush tropical garden.

Cons: Absolutely nothing! There was some road noise as my place was closest to the road but it didn't bother me in the least. With bedroom air conditioning on and windows closed you wouldn't notice it, but I preferred to sleep island-style with a fresh breeze blowing through.

Pros: We loved Poerani! Beautiful and convenient location, well fitted out bungalows on lush grounds with easy access to a great swimming spot, with sun loungers and free kayaks. Franck and Emeline could not have been better hosts. Emeline organised scooter hire and transfers for us and was so helpful and friendly. Maharepa is a short walk away and has great options for meals and a supermarket and bank.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: amazing location and very nice lodge.

Pros: We loved our own little bungalow, the essentially private beach outside was beautiful. We would take kayaks out and even saw a pod of dolphins swim by one day.

Cons: I think the bed and bedding could use an upgrade. Bed wasn't every comfortable.

Pros: The beach was quite attractive.

Cons: There was no air conditioning. The bedroom Was situated by the street. The noise of traffic was constant and we were unable to Sleep. We left as we could not suffer through a second night and lost money as we had to find alternative lodging. We advised staff who told the owner. We were not refunded for the second night.

Pros: This was a beautiful bungalow that had sleeping space for 7 people. The kitchen was a full kitchen that had most of the basics and far more than we needed. The living room was big enough for our needs. The walls in many areas are made of lattice but had no security concerns as it was very private and safe. We ate our meals on the deck overlooking the water. The beach and views were outstanding! We met with the property manager daily and she was WONDERFUL!!! She brought us fruit from her garden one morning and a bouquet of fresh flowers for each of us when we departed. She was also quite helpful with recommendations as to what to see and where to go. We absolutely loved it here!

Cons: The only thing we did not love is the hallway to the bathroom was narrow which was only an issue for the one of us traveling that was in a wheelchair. This was no fault of the property, just a comment that may help others in this situation. If I could go back and do it over, I would still book the same place, we absolutely loved it!

Pros: Staff was terrific! Friendly, professional and helpful.

Cons: The bungalo could have more comfortable seating.

Cons: Very best place to relax and snorkel in lagoonarium, 80 m away from the property

Cons: Air conditionning will add big value to The accomodationt

Pros: Most beautiful location right by the beach, free kayaks and paddle boards, very friendly staff

Pros: The service at the unit was excellent. The view was spectacular. The accommodation was good. The bonus of the tricycle to get to the supermarket was much appreciated. The swimming and snorkelling was great but you had to be careful of the tides. The kayaks were great.

Cons: The traffic noise was annoying at times. Too many barking dogs in the area.

Full kitchen with more than basics so you cook for yourself and make real coffee. Need to drive for amenities. Close to the ferry to get back to Tahiti Island airport. Very kind staff!

Pros: The pool

Cons: The sea was very shallow and lots seaweed. The property was quite rundown especially the woodwork. The furniture in the bungalow was very dated. The food was very average so we ate out mostly.

Cons: Very good breakfast except same breakfast everyday.

Pros: beautiful location, gorgeous pool,lovely staff

Cons: room wasn't ready until 3pm

Pros: Concierge was extremely helpful in booking excursions. Very convenient to the main town center for shopping and restaurants. Over the water bungalow was quite nice. Pool was clean in garden bungalow.

Cons: Breakfast was good but lunches/dinner in the restaurant were mediocre. Food not flavorful and meats were tough. We switched rooms within the resort mid-stay and they showed no flexibility in check-out/check-in times.

Pros: walking distance to restaurants and market, paddle boards and kayaks for free to use, activities center to book excursions

Cons: no transportation from ferry/airport

Cons: Concierge desk often had no people during its scheduled time. Staff gave different answers to questions related to internet and pool / activity times

Pros: very relaxing atmosphere

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Location perfect.

Cons: TV programming and reception. TV partially obscured by burned out screen. Cost of anything at property.

Pros: Nice hotel with good facilities.

Cons: Hotel feels old and could use some maintenance and an update.

Pros: Manava was low key and beautiful, perfect for our honeymoon. The overwater bungalow was amazing. Beautiful views, friendly staff, very well kept and clean property. Loved the pool and kayaks/paddleboards for guests to use. 10 Minute walk to nearby restaurants and shops, although these are overall limited on the island. Only wish the food at the resort restaurant was better and more reasonably priced. Staff was helpful in booking dinner reservations and excursions. Would recommend rudys restaurant, carmelines for breakfast, the atv tour and beginners scuba dive. Overall wonderful resort and would highly recommend!

Cons: Restaurant was overpriced, buffet was not great

Pros: location and outdoor facilities

Cons: Bedroom and living room should be swapped around. We would have liked the bed in the main area so you can wake up to the view of the ocean.

Pros: Swimming pool, view of Moorea from our room and cleanliness. Friendly staff and great location with many truck food for dinner.

Cons: I've booked jetski tour, but it was canceled last minute.

Loved everything about this hotel The restaurant food was delicious too!

Pros: The breakfast buffet was average.The view and location was outstanding.

Cons: Nothing!I would return anytime possible.

Pros: Amazing view of Moorea. The pools are great for kids who may not be comfortable with open waters to still see some small coral and a variety of fish.. Low light pollution was nice to view starry skies.

Cons: Would have preferred more vegetarian menu options. At the restaurant, we ordered a menu item without meat that was advertised with meat. The meal arrived with a huge pile of meat on top. Requested they remake it without meat as orignially specified. They returned with the same plate, telling us it was a new plate. There were still chunks of meat in it and it was obviously the same plate and they just picked pieces of meat out of it. Third time the food seemed ok.

Cons: Manava Resort absolutely scammed us during our stay in Tahiti. We were triple charged for our 3 night stay at the resort with a group of 6 after making reservations through Booking.com. The staff refused to issue a refund even after admitting fault and confessing that the billing mistake was made on their end. We were able to successfully dispute the charges with our bank since they'd received multiple complaints about Manava Resort in the past but I hate that it had to be taken that far. Guess this place is known for scamming American tourists and blaming it on a "language barrier" despite everything being confirmed over email? The resort itself is beautiful; it's a shame that the reservation agents and management were so dishonest and deceitful. Would strongly recommend finding literally anywhere else to stay on the island.

Pros: The infinity pool with the swim up bar was outstanding. The protected lagoon to swim in was also amazing and a great place for beginners to snorkel.

Cons: Getting a taxi at the airport was a bit difficult so it would be nice if the resort had a shuttle.

The second I booked my hotel at Manava the price on Agoda reduce $100. I tried to submit a price gaurantee against themselves but there is literally NO WAY to contact Agoda. "CHat" - no one is available. No one responds to the emails, and there is no phone number. They say, if you have a better price, send us these items, but doesnt say where to send it. Manava was nice for a hotel close to the airport. I had a travel day which I needed to be close to the airport and this was very nice. I was working and the internet didnt work in my first room. The staff was very helpful and eventually moved me to another room. (I wish I didnt need internet at all, but I did). The rooms were nice and Clean and huge. I would stay there again for a long travel day... I just wont book through Agoda.

Pros: Good size studio with excellent views of Mo'orea. Had everything we needed. Close to the airport but sufficiently far away to not notice any planes

Pros: The pool area was great. The air conditioning and space in the room was great. There were restaurants and a market within walking distance. Close to airport and port terminals. Having a kitchen to prepare our own food/snacks was wonderful.

Cons: The floors were so dirty we couldn't walk around barefoot. The toilet in our room ran continually and the floor outside the toilet was warped like it had overflowed before. Having our bedroom be where people walk was noisy and not private.

Pros: The grounds around the pool were very nice and it had a beautiful pool.

Cons: The room was extremely warm upon arrival. There was a significant amount of street noise heard in the room due to the room's proximity to the street. Also, did not feel overly welcomed at check in.

Pros: location

Cons: staff

Pros: The location was fantastic. The pool and Lagoon were spectacular to look and enjoy everyday. I felt like I was on a dream everyday I woke up. The hotel is very close to the food trucks (Roullettes). Also, the is a great chicken restaurant very close.

Pros: Perfect rooms and location.

Cons: Long time to check in/out.

Pros: We liked pool area.

Cons: They didn't allow late check-out unless you pay full amount. Our room faced the front and the sound of passing cars kept us wake all night. We couldn't use ceiling fan while we slept because it made noise.

Pros: Location

Cons: Mattress could be softer.

Pros: Great Breakfast. Beautiful Hotel. Awesome Pool. All around a great place to stay.

Cons: A little far from everything else.

Pros: Hand-delivered macaroons was a great touch! The suite and balcony were spacious and the grounds were really nice. The new lagoon will be great in the future as plants start to grow and fish find it. I loved the infinity pool view of Moorea.

Cons: The couch in our room was visibly dirty/stained; the kitchen counter was outdated material and had burn marks in it. For these things: the suite didn't feel "4 Star."

Pros: The new pool area is outstanding!

Cons: Not able to control ceiling fan speed.

Pros: Beautiful infinity pool

Pros: Swimming pool & food at lounge restaurant!

Cons: Under major construction; This should be clearly disclosed! AC in rooms very slow to function. First room issued, ceiling fan barely moved, changed rooms. Issued worst rooms in hotel. Inexpensive, stayed just one nite, so not a problem, but no way 4 star.

Pros: Great location, great pool!!

Cons: Was not aware of major construction on beach.

Pros: Great pool

Cons: Major construction under way

Pros: The hotel was beautiful! Staff were so nice. Our view from our room was beautiful. I wish I would have stayed two nights so we could have enjoyed the hotel more.

Cons: I thought when I booked this hotel it had an airport shuttle. We had to take a taxi. Which charged us 30$ for a ten minute drive.

Pros: People were great

Cons: The buffet at 38 US dollars is crazy expensive for breakfast

Pros: Location

Cons: We were not told that there was major construction going on at the hotel if we had known we would have chosen another location. Very disappointed.

Pros: Cute walk from the hotel to the beach, pretty flowers.

Cons: Was a tiny man-made beach with the pool. So NO FOR BEACH LOVERS. There was a huge construction project so you are in a constant smell of gas, rubber and dust. No fresh air. Premises are small so is the room. Beds are tiny so do not take single beds.

Pros: The facilities were great. The Staff as helpful as could be. Food was very good. Proximity to the airport.

Cons: Do not stay here on a Saturday night if you get an outside room anywhere near the restaurant. Firstly, the room is on a noisy street. It was Saturday so there was a band that played late into the night. The restaurant had an outside patio where people partied loudly all night. We complained twice but nothing happened. 4.30 AM wake up call to catch an early flight left us with no sleep. $ 190 for a night like that was a disaster.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff greeted us at 7 AM for an early arrival at no extra charge. Mostly French but they understand English. We had a beach view room which was truly a suite including large ling room, small kitchenette bathroom, separate toilet and nice bedroom.The infinity pool is lovely but not much beach.

Cons: All the TV stations are in French. Food prices were extremely high but a nice, clean local place is just across the street and gives you a local flavor for food. The shuttle to town is only $7 pp each way.

Pros: Wonderful host. Very nice breakfast with great local fruit. Air conditioning in our room was strong.

Cons: We're used to softer beds and pillows. The biggest drawback, however, was that the location was a bit far from everything other than the airport, which was about 1 mile away. There are not sidewalks, and the roads were too narrow to walk on during the evening. The taxi to the location was pricy.

Pros: 10 mins drive from airport. The staff is friendly.

Cons: Extremely basic accommodations and breakfast.

Pros: The hosts were very friendly. Decent bathroom which was very clean. They had a terrace with a beautiful view but sadly it was raining. Close to the airport but still needed a taxi because we had luggage and it was hilly. They were helpful in recommending a taxi service. They also gave us a lift up the hill when they saw us walking back in the dark which was very kind! There's breakfast included but we left too early to eat but there was coffee ready for us before we left.

Cons: It was quite isolated and high up with little food options (although they did offer to order in Pizza for us) we walked for 30 minutes towards the airport to find somewhere to eat, but it was probably because it was a sunday so most restaurants were shut, but there was a supermarket open and some food vans. There was a few stray dogs on the walk which was a bit scary but the view was amazing. If staying on a sunday - recommend to eat before going there or buy some food.

Pros: I was at Farehau for one night following along travel day. The staff at Farehau picked me up at the airport ( a real bonus) and took me to their home. The house was very comfortable, set high on a hill overlooking the city and water. My room was nice and cool and very clean. In the morning there was breakfast waiting in the kitchen and it was yummy. Their was a huge deck with comfortable chairs.

Cons: The house is in a residential neighborhood that is overrun with roosters. So they were a bit loud but that didn't really bother me...I used earplugs and sandwiched my head between pillows. Being a tropical island I expect there to be many new sounds especially form the resident fauna!

Pros: very clean and comfortable bed

Pros: Location Cleanliness Very nice familly room

Cons: Very poor breakfest. I really don t understand…raise the price to 10 eur and offer more than baguet, butter, jam and fruits from can…

Pros: Close to airport

Cons: Big climb from airport to Motel. Cab ride to dock and restaurants

Pros: Location. Although taxi up the hill 500meters cost way too much!

Cons: Some ants in room. No bag drop on last day. Price higher than I found downtown...and taxi cost the same...and they gave me a breakfast...and there's no 'action' by the airport.

Pros: You can walk right from airport. It’s a convenient spot you can stay for the night or as you wait for your late night departure. We got the room because we flew from borabora early and our flight didn’t leave til 10:45pm. So instead of waiting at the airport, we dropped our luggage off in the room, went into town, came back, rested and took a shower before the flight. The view is amazing.

Cons: The only thing I didn’t like was the shower wasn’t hot. Just warm.

Pros: convenient location across from the airport but difficult to walk with luggages so went by taxi that costs $30 usd however returning from hotel to airport next morning only costs $20 usd for a van.

Cons: I booked 3 rooms for 3 family traveling together 2 rooms were clean and comfortable but one room has a awful smell in the bath room in the bathroom and kept them up all night.

Walking distance to the airport. Always stay there before my flight back home.

No shampoo. No washcloths. No hair dryer. No tissues. No cafe. No coffee in room. Convenient to airport otherwise not good.

Pros: clean

A cockroach greeted us when we went in the room. The refrigerator was dirty. Only one thin cover on the bed but it was pretty. Good view. Night stuff okay. Morning staff AWESOME! Nice lady very helpful let us leave our luggage in storage for a few hours. Breakfast is continental and they charge extra for it. Soap to wash your hands is the same soap to wash your hair so bring shampoo and conditioner, maybe disinfectant wipes too.

Pros: Close to the airport.

Cons: The owner was a bit grouchy.

They lacked a simple bottle of water and coffee (even instant). They had paper cups, tea and that was it. We went to the front desk for coffee but had no cream or cream substitute. Another review said coffee at the buffet was $15

Beautiful! Clean! Walked by distance from airport.

The location was super convenient. Because it's right across the street from the airport we pretty much assumed we wouldn't sleep well but we didn't hear any planes.

We use them all the time in between island flights when we need an overnight stay near the airport. Just the basics but everything is very clean. Now, if only there wasn't that hill to climb they would have that extra star ;)

This is a basic motel right across the street, up a few stairs, and up a steep hill from the airport. It doesn’t offer much more than a place to sleep and shower. The staff are very inattentive and minimally helpful; especially if you don’t speak French. They’re often not even at the desk. They do offer a breakfast for $12 which includes some pastries, cereal, bread, and coffee( from what we were told). We did not partake. There really isn’t anywhere to get food. There are restaurants and McDonalds at the airport, but they are rarely open. This may be due to Covid and must coincide with flight schedules. Some people in other reviews commented about their AC not working. Ours did work fine. They don’t have it turned on ahead of time so it does take a while to start cooling off the room. Overall, the motel is fine for what it’s intended for- a short stay before or after a flight.

This is a perfect layover hotel. We walked there form the airport and walked to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. We left for Moorea early the next morning and this was perfect for its purpose

Pros: The hotel is wonderful for an overnight stay after arriving late from a long international flight. Guests should be aware that although the hotel is quite close to the airport it can be difficult to get to especially if you have bags.

Cons: Although close to the airport most guests would have to take a taxi to get to the hotel. Would e impossible to walk to for guests with bags.

Pros: It was very close to the airport. The hotel staff asked if we wanted a wake up call and if we needed a taxi upon leaving. We received our wake up call on time and our Taxi arrived at the requested time. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet.

Cons: No

Pros: Staff was very pleasant and quickly learned the customer names.

Cons: Not easy to get luggage up their stairs. One of the stairs in the lobby should be made into a ramp. Would also be nice for some of the rooms to have a balcony.

Pros: Across the street from the airport. Staff was nice enough.

Cons: Finding the entrance was a nightmare. Especially at night. Breakfast was an old croissant and cereal. Worst was the bed bugs everywhere. Super gross.

Pros: It was 5 minute walk from the airport. We also to the supermarket.

Pros: This motel is very close to the airport -so great especially when you fly in so late

Cons: The price seemed a bit high

Pros: proximity to the airport.

Cons: no free shuttle up the hill, we had to lug our luggage up many flights of stairs and across a busy highway. we were put on the 4th floor and the elevator only goes to the 3rd, had to get out and lug our luggage up another flight of stairs. exhausting.

Pros: near the airport

Cons: the walk between the hotel and airport is very steep and involves going up or down steps. Don't recommend trying it if you have heavy luggage. Expect the taxi to be 10-15 minutes later than your request and be prepared to pay 1700 to 2200 francs.

Pros: Proximity to the airport

Cons: The cockroaches in the bathroom

Pros: good place to overnight when plane lands in Papeete late in the day

Cons: it's is a very steep climb up to the hotel from the airport on the other side of the street. Also part of the patway is quite rough & uneven. Not easy to take a large suitcase! Taxi charged 2000XPF for the very short drive

Pros: Proximity to airport!

Cons: Very very basic. Wish free waters were provided at checkout.

Pros: Proximity to hotel - walking distance

Cons: Room very small but only need a place to sleep for 1 night

Pros: Proximity to the airport.

Pros: This hotel is very close to the airport . It is convenient for early fly out . The room are clean and nice but it doesn't provide the hair dryer .

Pros: Proximity to the airport.

Cons: Customer service, breakfast served, the uphill walk to the entrance with all our bags and without any assistance.

Pros: Lyre at location!

Cons: Bring your own shampoo!

Pros: Exactly as described! Walking distance from the airport, although we opted to take a cab. They had one waiting for us in the morning at the requested time. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to selecting dinner. Only pay $15 for cab!

Cons: All TV channels were in French :) But that's my problem, not theirs!

Pros: Hotel was very close to the airport as we arrived at 11pm. Breakfast was great with all the fresh French bread. Very clean hotel looks like it has recently been remodeled. Courtesy staff called a taxi when we were ready to leave. Would stay here again

Cons: none

Pros: Friendly Staff. Nice breakfast

Cons: The room could have had more electrical outlets. We had to unplug lamps to use electrical outlets.

Pros: Close to airport

Cons: Adequate for short stay between flights

Pros: We wanted something right by the airport, and this hotel delivered. It was just steps from the airport - we were able to walk to check into our international flight in just 5 minutes at 6:00 in the morning.

Cons: We arrived at night, and the hallways were dark - we either couldn't find the light switches or their lightbulbs were out. I used a flashlight to find our room. Staff were minimally helpful.

Pros: I strayed here with my husband and two kids ages 3 and 7. It was clean and up to date. U can walk to and from the airport and the market. It's about $20 can ride into town.

Cons: Clean and up to date

Pros: Very clean, stylish and functional. The room is of a good size, and the bathroom has a shower curtain. Had a good view over Moorea. Wifi was free.

Cons: The cable channels are all in French. There needs to be some English channels. The path up to the hotel is too steep and the concrete is rough. This needs to be smoothed. There are also a lot of steps to pull your suitcase over. There is no soap, just shower gel. There needs to be a proper bar of soap. The aircon tends to blow over the bed so you may need to shut off the aircon in the night.

Pros: The hotel was accessible from the Ferry and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Papeete market is also within walking distance for all your souvenir needs. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Cons: The room was a little warm even with the AC on.

Pros: Well located to catch the ferry to Moorea and check out the market. Clean, great service. Business hotel vibe.

Cons: One complaint is that the shower wasn’t hot. May have just been our room.

Pros: The location is great.

Cons: The Gym was not very clean and we had problem with 2 machines. Could have been clean in the alway and at night it was very dark.

Pros: Very nice stay in town . Great jumping off place Staff was excellent and welcoming.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The continental breakfast costing $28 was outrageous

Cons: The continental breakfast costing $28 was outrageous Even though we stayed 2 nights, they would not store our luggage for the day without paying $70. We had a late departure flight in the evening.

Pros: Nice room location. Good noise dampening windows

Pros: Good downtown location, very hospitable at front desk and room attendants, very clean and felt very safe.

Cons: Lighting-dark in hallways and bathroom

Pros: Located close to downtown Papeete and shopping. Dinner in Le Velvet was exceptional and service throughout the hotel was excellent and very accommodating. Hotel was very clean.

Cons: Awoken early by roosters crowing. Otherwise hotel met our expectations.

Magnifique service chalereux

Pros: Read a lot of mixed reviews on here, and as always mixed results. My review is strictly for an overnight stay after a flight from San Francisco (8 hours). Would I stay there for like a week? Probably not; but that’s just cause I would want a more resort style vibe, not cause it’s lacking in anything. Pros: Super comfortable Beds Clean room Friendly staff Great water pressure Short walk to the ferry if not a lot of items Short taxi ride from airport “Cons”: Can’t use my Marriott points to book.

Cons: Nothing, honestly. Super comfortable beds, and great water pressure made it a great sleep.

Pros: Rooms modern, clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. Ideally situated to walk to center of town with Public Market etc. Also in walking distance to Ferry/Cruise Ship terminals - but not with suitcases due to street construction and heavy traffic

Cons: Mountain view and side rooms are quiet. Rooms facing street have traffic noise all night long....

Pros: Location of hotel in heart of Papette is convenient location. However I did not find the reception staff overly helpful when our Air France departure flight was cancelled on Friday, Sept 25 and did not fly out until Sunday Sept 27 at 3:00 am.

Cons: Location of our room was on main avenue and very noisy. Also the sliding glass door to the balcony would not lock so they delivered a piece of wood to jam in the door frame. Whilst the room was large is was impersonal. the room and the hotel in general was very dark.

Pros: Our bungalow was close to the lagoon with amazing views. The staff were very friendly and helped to direct us to activities. We enjoyed our meals at the over the water restaurant. We were walking distance from some places to eat and a local supermarket. We also had wifi and AC which made our stay very comfortable.

Cons: The bungalow were pretty minimal and the restaurant menu was also limited.

Pros: Sofia and Vanille were so very kind, warm, friendly, and helpful! They are both great assets to the Hotel. All staff were wonderful. We did not get the name of the maintenance/grounds keeper gentleman but he was also an exceptional person. The bungalow was quite comfortable and location perfect.

Cons: Free "breakfast" was only coffee, juice, and bread. Not a deal breaker though.

Pros: Beautiful location, Loved the restaurant / common area that extended into the bay. Staff very friendly and hospitable. Had a tasty buffet breakfast.

Pros: The property is tired and had a 80's kitch vibe. They could clean it up and simplify. It shows its wear and unfinished state. It appears little to no money is spent for improvements... wgomeever owns this property shojld either give it up or invest in it. You could see the potential to make it a real charming slice of paradise.

Cons: I liked the location set against the stunning view of Cooks Bay.

I enjoyed staying at the Kaveka, as it is in Cooks bay and close to shops and restaurants. The restaurant has great views of the water and the mountains and you can see fish swimming below. I enjoyed snorkeling in the bay and was really beneficial being there during the Sunday lockdown. The food for dinner was good, the breakfast buffet could use some improvements. The Wifi was okay, but it did drop my signal here and there. The staff was all very friendly and accommodating which made it very comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again should I return to Moorea.

Pros: the food was good and the service was great. we snorkeled right from the dock at the restaurant.

Cons: unfortunately we were there during the "lockdown" so our entertainment options were limited, but that was certainly not Hotel Kavecka's fault

Pros: The location and the access to the ocean

Cons: Nothing

Cons: There is wifi but it does not work. The rooms are dirty, the floors are black with dirt and cobwebs everywhere. I dropped my white t-shirt on the floor and when I picked it up it had black dirt all over it. The free breakfast included is free bread and coffee.

The restaurant food was mediocre

Surprised my 15 year old with a 5 day trip to Mo'orea. She LOVED the bayside location. The overwater restaurant was a big hit as well. Staff extremely friendly.

Pros: Beautiful location on cooks bay. Terrific snorkeling off hotel pier. Nicely affordable compared to other higher-end resorts.

Cons: Little extras all cost extra—bicycles, kayaks, snorkel equipment, beach towels. Hotel restaurant very expensive ($25 for simple buffet breakfast). No nearby restaurants in walking distance.

Pros: Walkable distance (10 mins) to the Aranui 5 ship. Small breakfast included.

Cons: wish they picked up guests from airport.($20.)

Pros: Decent, clean accommodations

Cons: Overall room lights needs to be upgraded, very poor, especially the bathroom.

Pros: Close to ferry, walking distance.

Cons: Location - far from the centre, noisy place, catastrophic bed, one night is maximum what is possible to spend there

Pros: comfortable beds and very friendly front desk staff

Cons: could use some updating (like caulking in the bathroom, fixing rotting wood in the doorframe) nothing too serious though!

Pros: Helpful staffs

THIS IS A WONDERFUL HOTEL IF YOU ARE OVERNIGHTING IN PAPEETE BEFORE TAKING A FERRY THE NEXT DAY. IT IS ABOUT A 10 MINUTE WALK FROM THE FERRY PIER

Pros: Absolutely nothing.

Cons: This is definitely a roach motel. Killed 3 roaches while there. Room was in terrible condition. They only give you 2 towels for the room. No hand towels or wash cloths. Heard a rooster crowing all day and night. Take this place off your list.

Pros: The only thing we liked was that they were not totally booked like their competition.

Cons: Horrible Hotel. Extremely noisy area. We could not sleep all night due to traffic noise, construction, a factory, or something that is open at night nearby with lots of banging. We have travelled A LOT, and this is the worst night's sleep ever!

Cons: bathroom smelled bad. overall hotel needs a refurbishments. we just used it to stay a few hours while on lay over... still, I wouldn´t stay there for the price paid.

Pros: Location was good; the room was quiet and comfortable.

Cons: Not very clean or modern.

Pros: It was close enough to downtown that we could walk to the food trucks and shops.

Pros: The room was big, comfortable and kept very clean. We liked the in-room electric water kettle. Hotel is located within walking distance to town center. Staff is very friendly and polite.

Pros: People are nice and friendly!

Cons: The building is old!

Pros: Very nice

Cons: Breakfast not included

Pros: Very accommodating and helpful. Great place to crash in Papeete for a few nights. Snort walk to everywhere :)

Pros: Nothing.

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff. Clean and well maintained.

Pros: The location was great close to shopping and the ferry.

Cons: Wifi could have been better but I still had service so it was ok

Pros: Literally nothing!!!

Cons: Everything! Hotel is not in a good, safe walking area. The conserve energy so at night the hallways are pitch black and you need to look and find the switch. The a/c is horrible and when I told the front desk he said I needed to have patience.horrible!!

Pros: Very close to downtown Pape'ete and close to the docks. Room simple but clean and nicely functional

Cons: DARK hallways, no restaurant, no English channel on the TV (only French)

Pros: The price and proximity to downtown

Cons: The graffiti on the side of the building

Pros: Most staff were great, going the extra mile, rooms are huge and well appointed.

Cons: Night staff not so good. Wi-Fi was out and they refused to look into it. Towels are like sand paper and first room tv didn't work and no tolist paper dispenser. Little things that make it miss its apparent aim of being top notch. Area is a little sketch, fine if you have a car. If not then for women or cautious people I would stay elsewhere.

Pros: comfy bed. the things I needed.

Pros: Really good budget choice on Tahiti. Beach, store and restaurant nearby

Cons: No complaint

Pros: Great location. Close to a 24 hour market and, of course, the beach.

Pros: Location is nice inside the Pension even if in urban context. Beach is just across the street. It is nice for snokling. Host is very good and familiar.

Cons: WiFi is good only in rooms close to reception (my one was far so not a good WiFi experience)

Pros: We didn’t take breakfast option as we are vegan. Property was excellent. Pool was clean and warm. Beautiful gardens and nice patio area.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Kindly upgraded us to have 2 connecting rooms which made it much easier for our family of 6

Pros: It was clean and comfortable, Vincent and his staff very friendly and there was a good breakfast.

Cons: No kettle!

Pros: Lovely setting in a famy run lodge with about 12 units. We had a self-catering with fridge, microwave and hob. Fantastic snorkeling beach across the road (you need fins) easy walk to shops and supermarkets. Booked us a great trip over the mountains.. Tahiti expedition in a 4x4. Friendly dogs, cats and sometimes chickens roam around giving it a relaxed family affair and this adds to its charm. It is next to a busy road but this calms down overnight. Would definitely come again to this gem.. It was fully booked or we would have stayed so its not just me who loves it!

Cons: The beds are not very comfortable.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful staying up late to let us check in at midnight. The layout of the property was very good and the pool excellent.

at check in the lady was awful, I was told there was no WIFI, they didn't even have any universal plugs, she couldn't answer any questions, in fact I quote her comment to me 'I don't care I just work here'. no fridge in the room, the tv came from the last century (which doesn't matter because I didn't watch it, but it shows their ideas!) the restaurant was not open ever, but the checkout lady was very nice and professional however I would recommend Hotel Tahiti Nui instead.

Pros: It was walking distance from the port.

Cons: 1. The Internet was not free even though free Internet was advertised. 2. The air conditioner did not work and the heat and humidity was unbearable.

Great location (right downtown near bank/ATM, pubs, & taxi stand). Very clean with super friendly staff. Balconies & air conditioning.

The hotel is walkable from the cruise and ferry port in Papeete if you haven't got too much luggage. It is well-located downtown and close to their market, shopping and food trucks. It was easy access to the airport. There is a taxi stand (didn't use it) down the street. Rooms are very basic and in 'rustic' Polynesian style. They use regular door keys (not key carded) to enter the rooms and the electricity only works while you are in the room so the Air Conditioning took a while to cool the room down. The bed was very low and soft for my liking. 2 bed pillows were low lumpy foam. There was a hair dryer, 2 bath towels, 2 bars of soap, and shampoo/conditioner provided. There was a kettle for tea and coffee. We were only in the room for 2 hours to shower and change clothes before going to the airport. They don't have day rates but it was clean and served our purpose after disembarking the cruiseship at 10 am. Our flight didn't leave until midnight.

Access to nearly everything the centre lovely staff.

Room was adequate and air conditioned. TV channels only in French. Location was just a 5-10 minutes walk from cruise docking and only about 5 minutes from the large market.

Walked from cruise ship to hotel in a few minutes and did not need a taxi. We sat in lounge area until we got into room at noon. We were given a room with a big balcony.The room was clean and homely furnished and quite spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Pros: Very helpful staff

Cons: Room not well equipped. Hotel common areas no AC.

Great location downtown, walking distance to market, restos, bars, shops. Wi-Fi available but expensive. Good size room.

Would not stay here more than one night. Great for an overnight to catch another plane

Pros: Not much. It had a shower and an awful bed.

Cons: You could hear the loud music from the clubs down the street very uncomfortable bed. No hand towels in bathroom.

Pros: Excellent location in the heart of the city and very helpful staff.

Cons: Don't pay extra for balcony rooms, loud traffic noise and sirens at all hours.

Pros: Location, location, location. Staff was friendly and accommodated our luggage after check out without charge and let us wait out a down pour in the lobby.

Pros: Air conditioning was very good. The location of the hotel is excellent. We would recommend this hotel in its category.

Cons: The staff was very unfriendly. The breakfast was poor. We found the breads not fresh We would suggest getting this hotel without breakfast and having breakfast in the cafe a block away.

Pros: clean basic room that met our requirements for a "day room" paid for the full overnight. Very close to cruise terminal. Staff was great stored our luggage offered us the use of the lounge and was very helpful with a map and ordering a taxi to the airport

Cons: the address was wrong closer to 147 not 417 Poor sinage walked past it originally.

Pros: La ubicación era excelente.

Cons: Muestran fotos con vista al mar pero no entregan esa habitación luego.

Pros: Location

Pros: Location was good. Short walk to market and the food trucks in the evening. Room was clean.

Cons: Very basic. The bed was a double & we are used to queens. No tissues. They have a gadget that shuts off all electricity to the room when you leave, so if you're gone a few hours the room will be hot again. Just one towel per guest. All channels on the TV are in French.

Pros: Not a bad choice when you need a Ferry the next day. Location is great but the air conditioning is noisy. The hallways and elevator is horribly HOT! Bed was comfortable but TV is all in French.

Pros: Simple but Friendly. Could use some updating

Cons: Needs updating
