Hotels on the River in French Polynesia

"Unquestionably your best option if, like us, you are staying for just one night in Papeete before boarding a ferry to elsewhere, like Moorea. The ferry port is right across the street, and this is the nicest hotel nearby. Very clean and well-appointed rooms, a rooftop bar/restaurant with fabulous views (and live music on the Saturday night we visited), an upscale restaurant on the level below that. and a nice little breakfast/lunch/coffee place beside the lobby on the first floor. You can also walk just a few blocks from there to the big Papeete Market (great place to get snacks, fruit, souvenirs, and see local culture), plus a couple other good restaurants and some shops. Would definitely go back!"

"Splurged on this hotel for a special occasion, probably most we’ve ever paid… and worth every penny! We had a Superior Overwater Bungalow - these have their own back patio facing the ocean and sunset, with stairs down to water-level landing and ladder into the ocean. The reef drops dramatically from there, with the clear water allowing you to see a variety of colorful fish near the top and bigger things (including rays and sharks) occasionally passing by. Probably best snorkeling we found on the island was beneath our own room. :) The entire resort was top rate, with a beautiful (private) white sand beach, large infinity pool, very nice restaurant, great bar with fantastic cocktails I did not see elsewhere, an activity center where you book kayaks or tours, a spa, great little shops with prices better than in town, even a hammock, Backdrop of mountains is spectacular, and I’d have no problem having a room facing that way either. Great breakfast buffet, recommend to include in your booking. There are two different dinner shows per week (Wed and Sat), and we really enjoyed the one we saw. A tropical trio of musicians played at the bar on a different night until past 9pm, and they were extremely good. Short walk to town, where there are a few more restaurants, shops, ATM. The hotel even makes it convenient to enjoy a few more hours past your checkout time, with dedicated shower to let you clean up. Little treats like Tahitian wine showed up in room. So glad we chose this hotel!"

"Nice hotel. Large rooms. Great bar and restaurant facilities. Good pool but no beach. Lots of activities available and possibility to cheaply rent a car right on site. Quiet are. Would return. "

"Excellent stay and service. Location is fantastic especially over the lagoon with incredible views and snorkeling abilities. Would stay again. Highly recommend 👍"

"We stayed 3 nights in an overwater bungalow for our Wedding Anniversary. It was superb. We had a view of the Mountain/seaside not the lagoon. The weather was nice in June a little bit of rain on the first day but it got better and better. Food is nice but you have to eat at this resort there is nowhere else. Three restaurants. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we have ha. Chef cooked eggs any way you wanted. Fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurt all very nice. So when you fly into Bora Bora airport is on its own island and where you walk to get your bags the ferries are right there to take you to your accommodation. Its not a cheap holiday but a special place for a holiday."

"We really enjoyed our time here!"
