Top Papao Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tahiti Nui

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel was great. However, the fitness center did not provide towels or water. We had to use the towels from our room, which were only one full size towel, one pool towel and one hand towel per person. Otherwise, pool was refreshing, fitness center more than adequate."

Tahiti Airport Motel

8/10 Good

"Functional stay for when we arrived past 11pm. Easy to find with a car. No frills, bed comfortable, easy access to main roads for our final destination. Breakfast for $12 cereal, toast, coffee, tea, they might have had juice we did not partake. Overall it fit our needs as a stop over."

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Tahiti! Right across from the ferry if going to Mo’orea!"

Manaeva Lodge

Tahiti Lagoon Resort

Ninamu Pearl Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The friendly staff and breathtaking view made our first stay in French Polynesia an incredible experience. 🙂"

Pension Pare Lodge Tahiti

8/10 Good

"Likes： Garden Style Homestead； Friendly Environment; Easy parking; Mansion Shape Hotel. Dislikes: Shared Bathes;"

Villa Mitirapa

8/10 Good

"Overall a nice place to stay with a few caveats. Easy check-in with the keys on the counter and quick response by email. We stayed in Aura where two rooms have AC and one does not - was not a problem for our stay. The third room has a fan. The rooms have plenty of open shelf space for clothes.The deck overlooking the lagoon and private pool were favorites. There was a nice breeze during our stay. Bring bug spray though (as with most places on island). It would have been nice to have hand towels and wash clothes, not just bath and beach towels. Also, some hooks in the bedroom to hang up towels or clothes. The shower has body wash and shampoo; some shelves for personal washing supplies would be helpful. There was a lot of roof noise one particular night from what we think were birds collecting seeds from the tree overhead. Our neighbors didn't have the same foilage so this may be specific to our Villa. It bothered some of us more than others, so if you are a light sleeper, the islands of Tahiti in general can be noisy with dogs, roosters and other wildlife. The WiFi worked well but we had to request the password. This proved difficulty since we had spotty personal service. There were chocolates left for us at check-in which was a nice welcome. Thank you for sharing your Villa with us."

Hotel Reva Tahiti

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and very clean new hotel - would recommend."
