Best Resorts in Vaiare

"We loved the apartment feel to the rooms, would be great for families, especially those who want to eat in. The staff were very friendly and we loved the private beach. There weren’t a great deal of restaurants available within close walking distance, it’s a shame the beach bar didn’t open for dinner. There are shutters for the rooms with warnings to close them at night, which obviously make you feel a bit nervous when it comes to safety, however we had no issues at all. Would definitely recommend, if looking for a luxurious but less expensive stay on Moorea. "

"Great place close to the airport convenient for an early flight"

" Close to downtown and port"

"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!"

"We had a standard room which was really comfortable but missing a couple of basic things like a kettle and coffee mugs or a knife and fork or spoon. The fridge had nothing at all in it. Just had a pod machine with four pods and espresso cups. The staff are just amazing though and super friendly and the pool bars and restaurant are awesome. Also did the snorkel took which was worth every penny, our guide Keanu was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw lots of rays and turtles and kept us all safe."

"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!"

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

"Great location. "

"Incredible place to stay. Of course - a bit different with ‘hostel’ type rooms and baths - but really clean and secure. Great bar on the rooftop Personal super helpful "
