“Nous avons séjourné 4 jours dans leur établissement, mais nous avons commencé notre séjour dans une villa qui n'était pas la nôtre pendant 2 jours, avec un petit déjeuner offert le lendemain de notre première nuit.
Le petit déjeuner était simple.
Nous n'avons pas trop compris pourquoi nous n'avons pas eu notre villa prête le jour de notre arrivée, mais ça va, nous étions bien.
Je dirais même que la villa Hinano était mieux que la deuxième, même si son jardin, sa piscine et sa plage étaient……
“Was a good place to spend a night while waiting for a connecting flight out of PPT. Room was clean. Breakfast was so so, not very many options. The distance from the airport is a little deceiving as what would take 5 minutes if you could approach from the front, takes 20 minutes going up and around a hill approaching from the only rear entrance. Would use again if back in Tahiti”
“This is a great property if you wish to explore the south side of the island, or if you have your own vehicle. Unfortunately it is NOT 2.5 miles from the airport or the cruise ship port. It is on the opposite side of the island, Depending on traffic, a 90 - 150 minute drive. $115 taxi drive. You can get a 3 day tourist bus pass for 1 franc (a bus ride is 4 francs) but the busses stop running at 4:00 local time. The closest grocery store (outstanding selection of fresh fruit & veggies, meats, and……
“We very much enjoyed our stay at Fare Arihau Vairoo. The room was lovely and comfortable. Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming and took care of us as though we were family. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. All the food was prepared by our host from local ingredients mostly grown in their own garden. All the food was exceptional and the service, some from our hosts little girls, was delightful.”
“The Teahupo’o surf break is basically directly out front (off-shore at the reef, of course) but water taxis are right at the shore by the front gate of pension so the location could not be better from that POV.
It’s a short walk (5 minutes) on a nice beach path from the Teahupo’o photo wave spot and Olympic rings, or you can drive to the pension and park but only if you’ve got a vehicle capable of river-crossing - so that adds to the charm of the place as well.
The pension is quite nice, super……
“Lovely clean room kept spotlessly clean and equipped
Pool was huge and great with nice service for drinks and snacks.
The restaurants were a bit hit or miss for dinner.. San was really good but the Taitea Brasserie was mediocre. A good hotel in French Polynesia should be able to do much better.
We didn’t have breakfast in the hotel, firstly because of the prices, and secondly because the hotel is connected to a shopping centre with great local cafes and a Carrefour supermarket.”
