Hotels With Breakfast in Windward Islands, French Polynesia

We arrived at about 9pm in the pouring rain so we took a taxi. (I feel like we got ripped off…he charged us about $20 to drive the 400 yards up the hill…not the hotels fault at all) We we welcomed by a pleasant gentleman at the front desk. He checked us in quickly. They have an elevator but you do have to climb 5 stairs to get to the elevator. (I did not see a ramp) Our room was very clean and updated. Nice flooring. AC worked great! Brand new big fluffy towels and brand new sheets. Bed was firm and we slept great! Decent pillow plus an extra in the closet. Shower had good pressure and was hot. They only provided a liquid “soap” dispenser near the sink. No shampoo, conditioner or body wash. A hot water kettle was provided with instant coffee and tea. You could purchase breakfast but we did not. Check out was easy and the front desk lady told us the path straight down to the airport. There were a few stairs and it was a bit slick due to the rain. I could recommend for a night.

Huge room but space not used efficiently. Bathtub was not properly secured. And shower was inside bathtub. The toilet bidet has to be turned off else it will leak. Location was right in front of the ferry terminal.

We stayed at the Hilton Hotel Tahiti before leaving on a two week cruise. The hotel was close to the airport, port and downtown shopping. Across the street from the hotel was a large grocery which was fun to visit and convenient for getting a few items left behind. Our room was ready upon arrival and the room was spacious, clean and comfortable! The pool area was beautiful and food / bar service was available from your seats. One evening they had entertainment with local musicians and dancers. The breakfast buffet was very nice and had a wide variety. For a couple of meals we ate at the Brasserie which the food was very average. Overall, I would recommend the Hilton Hotel Tahiti for your transition hotel for arrival / departure into French Polynesia.

If you’re wanting a spot where you’re solely using it to recharge (sleep/nap) and go back out to explore, this is perfect. It’s in a good location and right across the street from the ferry if you’re looking to visit other islands. I booked a single room, no windows, with a queen size bed. Having never stayed in a place like this, I was skeptical of the shared restrooms space but the staff is constantly cleaning this space. I never saw a restroom in bad shape. It also has a place for dinner on the 7th floor and a Reeftop Bar on the 8th floor. On top of the amenities it offers, the staff here are super helpful and friendly. I was slight worried about traveling here solo with the language barrier but they were definitely some of the friendliest people I met while here.

This was our first stop on what turned out to be a spectacular vacation in one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Te Moana is a super, more intimate resort. From the time we arrived, the staff were always smiling and ready to help in any way. It seems that genuine friendliness and helpfulness are part of the DNA of this country. The rooms are very comfortable and nicely appointed and our suite with a view of the sea was splendid. The restaurant is top-notch with delicious food. The star attraction of the hotel is the rimflow pool with an excellent pool bar with a broad range of well-made cocktails and outstanding sunsets over the neighbouring island of Moorea. We will definitely be back.

It's a piece of paradise, unbelievable service, every person who works there is helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure you feel at home .. definitely recommend staying there. You can snorkel right there - the bungalos are on the edge of a small coral riff

This hotel is so beautiful! There are so many activities and many are free. The staff are the kindest staff I have ever come across at a hotel! The rooms are so lovely and the cleaning ladies keep them clean every day! They will even come in in the evening and turn down your bed covers for you. I would recommend this to anyone! And I plan to return.

This hotel is very close to the airport, the hotel can drop off the airport, charges are required. It's about 1500 francs and it only takes 6 minutes to get to the airport. The hotel has a show for breakfast and dinner, and it is still worth seeing. The French restaurant is pretty good.

This early September trip to Moorea was a second attempt to fly to Tahiti, with the first one cancelled by corona virus restrictions two years prior. Actually, it worked in my favour because I did not book this Sofitel in 2020. September is a great month to travel to French Polynesia - the children are back at school, so you experience more calm environment, and the weather is usually good, I booked a superior bungalow in March 2020 for 5 nights. As an Accor Gold, I was assigned a closer to beach accommodation in a renovated bungalow which turned out to be a perfect choice: the beach and the ocean were clearly visible, yet I did not have to watch the beach traffic directly in front. The bungalow 412 was rather modern and fully equipped, including a daily replenished minibar (soft drinks an local beer) and coffee/tea making facility. The bathroom could be fully open to a private mini-yard giving a feeling a taking a shower outdoors. Daily housekeeping was without s fault. I do recommend to add breakfast when making a reservation. It is a better deal booking in advance and the buffet is fabulous. You can choose different things every day. The staff who brings coffee is very friendly. The hotel itself is on the best stretch of private beach in Moorea and this part of the island gets less precipitation than the rest due to the mountains not far away. It is true that one is rather dependent for food and beverages on what is available in the hotel. There are some options, however. If you are up to it, you can walk to the Champion supermarket and back in slightly over an hour and watch the local life along the asphalt road. There is also a very small shop at the gas station between the hotel and the airport, about 8-10 minutes away. They do not have much, though. If you care, you can order a take away pizza in a restaurant and eat it on the porch of your bungalow. There is a beach bar and regular bar that serves drinks and tapas, including a happy hour. The views are stunning. All, I emphasize all, staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The current GM is Mme Sabine Lamberts whom I met in person. If I were to name just one hotel associate who deserves A+, it is Pascal at the reception - a very charming and energetic young man. He always displays 'can do' attitude, making you feel as an valued guest of the hotel. I shall be back.

Wanted to see about staying a few extra hours in hotel and willing to pay for the 4 extra hours I had a medical issue that I need to test a few hours before getting on plane. Willing to pay the $60 to stay a few more hours and was told $60 was only for two hours that to stay the extra 4?hours would be a full night charges. The hotel with out a heart

We have been waiting through the Covid years to go to the Le Bora Bora Pearl Resort on Bora Bora and since a layover in Tahiti was required, we decided to stay at the company’s Tahiti resort for 2 nights because there was a good combo deal with the Bora Bora hotel. The late night arrival, one full day and another night ended up costing us about $US1000, including lunch and dinner but not breakfast. Do I think it was worth the price? Probably not. (BTW, the breakfast buffet, while expansive, costs around $US35 per person). The room was spacious with a good bathroom. The bed was comfortable though the pillows were a bit flat. The balcony overlooked the black sand beach and the sea. It is a pretty resort. Moorea can be seen from the beach and you can swim or walk. The pool was nice but right next to the restaurant which seems to be common. There were cane chairs on the lawn and poolside lounges to sit and relax. The staff are helpful and friendly. Issue number 1 is the TV. CNN is the only English speaking station and it’s not worth watching anymore. The problem with all the French speaking stations is that the only subtitles available are also French. So no value for any later night television. Issue number 2 is the food options. They were OK without being exciting. And if you happen to need gluten-free, then your meals will be steak and salad. I probably expected more from a high class resort. Issue number 3 was the bath tub plug. It was broken and unusable. It was one of the pushdown models and it had snapped off. Now obviously we could have called about that and it would have been fixed with a bit of effort. However for an upmarket resort, it shouldn’t have been broken in the first place. It should have been noticed before our stay. Issue number 4 is “kill the rooster”. They have a wandering rooster and chickens. All very free range and natural. But the rooster crows not just at dawn but all day and more seriously, all night long. Our sleep was interrupted several times both nights by the random series of crowing at all hours. There are many positive things about this resort, which probably compensate for the few negatives. However, I just don’t think it was worth the expense. It is difficult to compare to any of the other resorts on the main island without having been to any. This may be the standard. I was expecting a bit more.

Was fantastic, very friendly people, but: I was slippered 28th by a waterkey of biff off shower, my neck quite (at least) knitting, was not seriously treated, towels were laid down and I had to pray for ice to cool One of the women gave me ice. Now; 1 week later: can still not use my hand Also: leakage in the village, idem This is not taken seriously, even there is only a towel placed and again appoint: nothing, so you are only dry towels picked up and the weak thrown in them hook Erg jammer, want was verder goed I should have just let a doctor sweep and pay them cats, seeing them backwards. Now: My bikini trousers still hanging, they don't want to send them up even if I pay I was so annoying, for I was still out of bed, though I had the only cracking bed and I didn't sleep 11 nights

The family that owns and runs this small homestay was very nice and accommodating. They offered pick up @ the cruise ship pier and transfers to the airport. They even offer tours of the Island! Just contact them for prices. The bedroom was clean, comfortable and had air conditioning. We liked that they had a pool too. You can easily walk to the market and pier. We would definitely stay here again.

We were sent here by Air Tahiti Nui after they cancelled our flight, but this is a boutique hotel with only 22 rooms and Air Tahiti Nui sent 10 parties of people here 🤯. Of course none of this was the fault of the Maitai, and their staff was sooooo understanding of our situation. Not only did they get on the phone multiple times with Air Tahiti Nui to make sure the people they could not fit got accommodation elsewhere, they actually called the other accommodation to make sure they really had room for us! For me, the best customer service comes from people who truly care about people, regardless of whether you are a customer yet. Thank you Maitai staff for going above and beyond to take care of a bunch of tired folks who just wanted to get some rest after a frustrating experience. We will definitely visit next time we are in Papeete!
