Find accommodations in French Polynesia

I had an overnight stop in Tahiti enroute to Bora Bora. This hotel provided the perfect respite. I arrived into Papeete at 11:00pm. As you exit the airport you can see the large neon hotel sign just across the parking lot. It's a climb up a few flights of stairs, across a road, and up a very steep driveway so if you have a ton of luggage it might be best to hire a ...

best location, right by the ferry and water front. Food trucks, coffee shop, and market all within walking distance. The staff was very friendly and the rooms have a/c which is great with the humidity. I was alone on this trip and felt very safe in with the hotel as well as around the neighborhood. Clean, rooms were nice, and bed was comfy. I will stay here again on m...

We spent our honeymoon in one of the overwater bungalows. The premium overwater bungalows are beautiful and nicely air conditioned (very important in French Polynesia!). We LOVED the overwater bungalows. We also enjoyed the free use of the kayaks and paddle-boards, as well as the beautifully appointed grounds. The snorkeling off our bungalow was FANTASTIC. However, ...

This was a great find if you are looking to stay in downtown Papeete on a budget! Very nice hotel right on the harbor front with tons of restaurants and shopping a block away. The rooms are clean, air conditioning works great, TV has only 5 channels, hair dryer in desk drawer, island ferry to Moorea 3 blocks away, Tahiti Tourist Bureau & Papeete Market 2 blocks away,...

Staff, are excellent, especially restaurant. Fantastic TAHITI show, the best of all the islands we visited. Polynesian buffet fantastic, but also expensive. Again the best of all the islands we visited. Good local bus service from outside the hotel to PAPPETTE, and around the island. Lots of restaurants around the hotel, but hotel better value for money for food. We st...

For the price, I was really impressed with the Moorea Sunset Beach Residence. We booked the basic 1 bedroom with a lagoon view, and the interior seemed fairly newly renovated and very clean. I also loved the utility of having a kitchenette. The location is spectacular; it is only a few steps away from the beach, where you can conveniently rent kayaks, paddles boards, a...

We stayed at the Royal Tahitien for four nights in late March 2014. We stayed in a large 2nd floor room which had an ocean view overlooking the grounds of the hotel from the balcony and a view toward the mountains from the entrance door. The room had twin beds which could be converted to a king, a/c mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, flat screen TV with only F...

This was my first over the water bungalow stay and it was incredible. From the moment we walked in to check-in, we were treated wonderfully. And although the resort was full, it felt so peaceful and quiet all the time. The breakfast was the best I’ve ever had ANYWHERE! The room was breathtaking...waking up every morning and opening the curtains to that view was exquisi...

We loved our stay here. We actually caught the 7.30am ferry over to Moorea and had no expectations that we would be able to check into our bungalow until later but the amazingly staff had it ready for us within 15 minutes. We were in garden view bungalow number 4 which was about 5 rows back from the beach but that suited us fine as you didn’t have people constantly wal...

Bungalow was really nice. Cleaning is done everyday. Access to the sea directly from the garden. All was fine.

We stayed here for 3 nights before departing for the other islands on our honeymoon! This is one of the best places I've ever stayed and I've been to over 35 countries! It is expensive as we stayed in an overwater bungalow but worth every cent! If you want luxury with the best service and views this is must! Just a tip! If you order the American breakfast room service ...

Kaveka is a simple resort but I found it amazing! It's nestled near the front of Cooks Bay:the views of the bay are stunning, even more out of this world when there's clouds and mist. Staff were lovely and helpful and would go out of their way to assist with info/booking tours etc Tim puts a smile on every guests face each day with his friendly manner.He brought me a b...

Wow we sure we're impressed with our host arranging out pick up at the airport which was fantastic as we arrived at midnight and having a 1 hour drive at that time of night is definitely a big challenge! We were able to walk to the local tiny store and bought basic food for breakfast and lunch. For dinner he called the local pizza company which was greatly appreciate...

I loved Motu Iti, hands down. You just need to realize that it’s not the Hilton (which is next door), or the Intercontinental. Temper your expectations and realize you’re staying literally 5 feet away from an ocean in a pretty decent bungalow. Auguste, Dora and the whole staff are great. They genuinely want you to have a great experience at Motu Iti. I can’t say enou...

Wonderful hosts, happy to include us in trips to the bank, grocery, etc. Great location next to the Hilton, but also with its own private beach. Our bungalow was large with full kitchen. Think beach house or summer cabin. Nice common room for relaxation. We enjoyed a trrrific meal, reasonably priced, made by Jean and his family. If you want luxury, go to the Hilton, ...

Group took over the hotel, loud and unrespectful towards the other guests

very pleasant, comfortable, staff/ manager David is very cheerful and willing to help.

Dorene and Elodie made sure that I felt at home right from the beginning. Their good advice on Moorea excursions as well as "extra entertainment" such as coconut cutting and tasting, shark feeding have made my stay there unforgettable. Merci 1000x 😃

Nice place to stay, rooms a bit hot (no AC), great breakfast, friendly host, fully equipped kitchen, you can borrow complete snorkeling equipment for free. Public beach is close (600m), but we preferred Vaiava beach (great snorkeling), which is much nicer, but it's 1,2km walk under the Polynesian sun. 14km from the Airport, so no problem if you have a car, or else give...

A beautiful boutique lodge, located on a very scenic spot of Moorea. Full of peace and nature, we loved the strong breeze which blew in straight from the ocean. The beach is at the backdoor, and the crashing waves can be heard from your bungalow at night. The hosts were extremely welcoming and we felt a part of their friendship group. We were made to feel like guests w...

Wonderful stay, great hosts and very clean environment. Short and safe walk to town. Would book again without hesitation.

I spent 7 days, last week of July, at the Fare Teruahupe at Ha’apiti on Moorea and it was truly great. It is on the really quiet side of Moorea only 20 minutes drive from the ferry terminal. Elda and her husband were really nice and I felt welcome immediately. Elda brought me a bottle of water and there was a bottle of wine for me in the fridge also. She enquired if I ...

You have just arrived in French Polynesia after a long overnight flight and you want to experience the real Moorea...forget about all these big resorts that lack personality and go to Fenua Mata'i'oa instead. This little gem offers all you wish for and more: a lovely room surrounded by a really lush garden with lovely sea views for you to enjoy. Unlike large resorts it...

Brilliant level of service from the time my husband and I arrived. We were greeted by Melissa who showed us the resort and our villa. Highly recommend going for over the water villa. Breathtaking view and private. Waking up to that view of the crystal blue water is priceless and so relaxing. The team welcomed us with a bottle of champagne and truffle chocolates which a...

We highly recommend this hotel especially if you want a bungalow experience without spending so much more money on the other fancy resorts. That staff was wonderful, pleasant and helpful. The property was clean. The rooms were nice and comfortable. The property is walking distance to the public beach which is beautiful with amazing sunsets. Also too you can walk to gro...

The Opoa Beach Hotel where we’ve stayed the final 3 days of a 3-week trip to New Zealand and French Polynesia, is 9 cute cottages all decorated with local artisan craftwork, surrounding a small pool right by the waters edge on the east (sunrise) side of Raiatea looking towards Huahine. Free boat shuttle out the motu (little island w/beach on the reef surrounding the l...

This is the hotel you must see! We travelled first to Tahiti then to Moorea but still missed our dream shores, white sand beaches and the blue lagoons. Finally we arrived to this amazing resort and all dreams came true. We stayed in an over water bungallow which is hard to describe how beautiful is. Glass floor, perfect bed, perfect everything. This is the place that m...

Great hotel and location. The staff was amazing and friendly, and beach is spectacular. Not the best snorkeling, but such beauty outside of the water.

this is a fine hotel for what you pay for it, 2nd best on Huahine. Can not beat location, great patios, great staff, really almost perfect. But if you have flown hours to French Polynesia, to experience exclusion, snorkeling , you want to feel like you are away from it all.. this is not hotel for you. This hotel feels like it could be anywhere. Okay, I am from Flor...

I had a fantastic stay at Sofitel Bora Bora. Everything was just as I wanted it and I was given a beach side bungalow which was excellent, huge space and really comfortable for the 3 nights I was there. Staff were lovely and booked me on the tours I wanted to go on. Location was beautiful, with all the amenities being adjacent to the water, there is a lovely stretch of...

We loved our stay. Alice and Raphael are so warm and gracious. They are as helpful as you want them to be, or they will leave you in complete peace if you like. They have invested everything they have in their pension and their home. They have chosen this very pure way of life for their family. The bungalows are very charming, tastefully decorated, and comfortable...

Very good value for money especially for ourselves who wanted to self cater rather than stay in expensive hotel. Location is great, with it's own sandy beach and just around corner from main sandy beach also. Very good snorkelling at close by island which you can easily get there by Kayak. Supermarket just over the road. Jack and Francesca more than helpful- thank -yo...

I had such a wonderful time at Le Perle! I was traveling alone for the first two nights there and Roberto made sure I felt welcome. Rooms were very well decorated and new. Felt like you were in paradise (which you are in Taha'a). I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. Solo travelers, families, groups. I think anyone would enjoy it! There was lots to do ...

We choose the InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort wanting an affordable overwater bungalow for our honeymoon. To start we thought the resort was quite expensive, however following a trip into Vaitape it became apparent that the resort was well priced in terms of food and activities. We experienced no language barrier with reception or the concierge, however in...

Ok, this is not luxury accommodation, but it provides excellent value for money. The facilities are basic, but clean. The staff is fair. The location is very good - right on the beach, excellent sunset view. Overall, excellent value for money.

Arsenne and Marie-Claude run a beautiful small hotel in the Opoa area. The hotel is a collection of individual bungalows - with most right on the beach, just a few steps to the Raiatea lagoon. The beach bungalows each have great views of Huahine, the Raiatea lagoon and reef, and a motu on the reef. Located on the windward side of the island, a strong, refreshing and...

Few pension owners are as passionate about their island as Gwenne. He loves living an eco friendly life in his special corner of Huahine, and unreservedly shares his knowledge with his guests.

Very clean and comfortable with modern furniture and facilities. You get free airport transfer which is great. The owner is very friendly and flexible with your schedule. The location is ok, you can kayak around, you can cycle to the main town or to the start of the hike. Overall, very good value for money.

Flora couldn't be more wonderful host. She picked us up, drove us to a scooter shop and sent us to the airport. Hotel was located next to the beach with 3 lovely decorated rooms. However, water shortage could happen from time to time on motu. We really had a good time.

the bungalows are very nice and the location is beautiful ! the value for money is great and food is delicious.

We really loved staying at Faretai Love. Annette and Marc go the extra mile for their guest. Picking us up at the airport, taking us to the grocery store, giving us discounted rates on day trips and car rental and complimentary bikes to use during our stay. The apartment was a short ten minute bike ride to a beautiful sandy beach. We loved the artwork in the apartment ...

Amazeballs. 2 things - I wish we had access to a little grocery store or something. Had to rely on resort for every bottle of water, every coke every sandwich and every (very expensive) drink. Also I think some fabric softener on the sheets would have been nice on our sunburnt bodies. But wow. Amazing. Paradise.

Our favourite hotel in Bora Bora!!! Very clean, very green territory. Amazing SPA. Two Steam Rooms (complimentary) one with beautiful view on Lagoon, the other with the view to the ocean. Service is very high level. Big and clean bungalows with direct access to the water. Breakfast is very rich. Main beach is beautiful. Simply the best...

We went to the St Regis as part of our honeymoon, and without doubt this is the best hotel we have ever stayed at. Everything was amazing, from the welcome tour to the nights spent sipping champagne in the overwater bungalow. The Food was great, but it was Carmen’s butler service that really made our stay super enjoyable, she was brilliant. It is very expensive, but i...

We were welcomed at the airport and the transfer to the pension took less than 10 minute. You can ask to be dropped off in town to do some shopping but we walked to Fare (15min). There is a beach in front of the hotel where the sunset is amazing, swimming and snorkelling is not possible though. Best thing to do to explore the island is to hire a car or even better a sc...

Hotel is at great private island and beach, clean and spacious room. Hotel has free shuttle between hotel and main island, and paid van service to vaitape town and matira beach, the airport shuttle is overpriced, if you are on budget you can save by using hotel shuttle to main island instead of using hotel Airport transfer. There’s a lot of free activities at hot...

But no staff on site so it's difficult to get something if you need it. No bin in the bungalow, no dishwashing liquid or sponge to do dishes.

Thank you Hinano and William. You have made our stay in your bungalow exceptional! Everything - and by that I really mean everything, was perfect. The beautifully appointed and very clean single bungalow on their premises, the breakfasts :-) , the airport pickup, the Rhum "excursion", the mind-blowing and completely private beach next door, etc... Hinano and William ...

Exceptional service, beautiful location. Best in French Polynesia

Pension Hotu is a simple and sweet little spot to stay when visiting the beautiful Tikehau. The little guesthouses are right at the edge of the beach, and come simply furnished with full bathrooms and plenty of hot water. It is run by a nice family, and they serve breakfast and dinner family style, which makes it easy to visit with other guests.

We had a lovely stay at this very peaceful and beautiful place. Please note that the location is remote: it is a 30 to 45 minute boat ride from "town" and all the dive centers, etc. You can arrange boat transport with the hosts, but it is not as easy to dive from this location as opposed to places on the main atoll. Nonetheless, my kids dove twice and had a terrific...

The pension is rustic, and you will sleep under mosquito netting, but the customer service is excellent. Corinna and her crew took exceptional care of us. Our rooms were cleaned and the beds made on our second day. Our cost included breakfast and dinner. The dinners were excellent. They were homemade and made with fresh ingredients. I wish I could take those dinners wi...

We had a bungalow with very nice terrace with a beautiful lagoon view. The bungalow is simple (no TV but for us was a plus so kids went to see crab and fish instead watching TV!) and very clean. They are free bikes and kayak it is well located in the middle of the island. Olga was a great host taking us for groceries and gave us a tour of the island. This was the best...

Paradise!!! The accommodation is located on a private Motu with wonderful beaches surrounding and see through crystal clear ocean. It is a very private and intimate place, very quiet and far from the world. If you are looking for piece and quiet far from the civilisation this is a place for you. For solo travellers can be boring as there isn't much to do but a perfect ...

Totally exceeded my expectations. The host Jannie goes way above and beyond to make sure guests have the best time possible during their stay. She is a wonderful host and great cook. She is also very well connected with the other businesses on the motu so you can essentially use her as your sole point of contact to reserve any bookings for activities, restaurants, etc...

We were already scheduled to stay 3 nights in Rangiroa at the Kia Ora hotel and spa and having and excellent stay... the night before we were to depart, we found out from the hotel reception that our flight to Tikehau (just a short 5 minute flight away) was cancelled - indefinitely! Apparently some airport firemen at the Tikehau airport went on strike and shut down al...

This is a great low-priced alternative on the island. It is at the far end of the island, about 10km, from the hub of the tourist activity. Without taxis or buses makes it a bit difficult to access activities. But most tour operators will pick you up and you can always ride a bike. The owners are wonderful and the restaurant on the property serves huge portions at ...
