Watch the sunlight sparkling on the water as it flows over Fautaua Waterfall. Look out for any rainbows that form in the mist.

This cascade of water is often on the itineraries of visitors to Papeete. But Fautaua Waterfall isn't the only drawcard in the area. Papeete Market, Black Sand Beach, and Papeete Town Hall are some other interesting attractions close by.

9/10 Wonderful! (852 reviews)

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days for the first part of our honeymoon before heading to Bora Bora, and it was perfect! The property is located close to the airport, ferry terminal and shopping district, and right on the water. I loved enjoying breakfast or supper sitting looking out over the ocean and watching all the fish swimming right below us. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable and had an amazing view looking over the ocean. The food was great, especially at the sushi restaurant! There was also regular entertainment and beautiful live music in the morning, which was so nice to listen to while sipping my cappuccino and planning our events for the day. Parking was free and easy to get to the hotel, and there was a shopping mall and grocery store a very short walking distance. Highly recommend this property.
