Hotels near Harrison Smith Botanical Garden

"Loved the view, the staff and a great breakfast. Clean rooms and enjoyed the pool area and outdoor bars!"

"We loved our stay at Vanira Lodge. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. We were in Vai Ora and the views were stunning. We especially enjoyed the hot tub on our terrace and having AC in the bedroom. The only thing that might be an issue for some people are the lizards and small worms that share the space. The lizards were on the terrace, but the little worms were in the bedroom. The property lets you know in advance and it didn't bother us, but it's good to be aware before you book. Overall we had a fabulous time and hope to go back!"

"Upon arrival, the staff was extremely welcoming and kind. Our room and the view were beautiful. The only minor complaint is that our booking mentioned a mini fridge, but there wasn’t one in the room. When I asked the front desk, they explained they were waiting on a shipment and had none available. Since we stayed for eight nights, it was challenging to manage without a fridge, so we had to purchase an ice chest to keep our drinks cold. I highly recommend booking taxi rides in advance through the front desk if you plan to go out and about. We often waited between 45 minutes to an hour for taxis. The hotel only provides one bottle of water per day, and the drinking fountains were broken. However, the hotel restaurant was kind enough to fill up our bottles when we asked. The hotel itself is very nice, though it could use some upgrades. The pool, for instance, looks a bit outdated and needs some maintenance, though it was kept very clean. If you don’t get a room with laundry machines, there is only laundry service which is very expensive. The food at both the main restaurant and the bar was excellent! I also recommend exploring other islands like Moorea and Bora Bora instead of staying just in Tahiti. If you are like us and have a late departure home, the late checkout is based upon availability. So, you could find yourself having to checkout at 11 and stuck waiting around. The airport is small. The locals are incredibly friendly, and overall, it was a wonderful experience."

"Amazing location! We landed, took a taxi to this hotel with others and paid $13, went to the hotel. Next day, we walked to the ferry dock (literally less than a 5 minute walk), and went to Moorea! Best location."

"Our stay was exceptional. Worth every cent. We also knew what we were getting into… yes, an overwater bungalow does come with a cost, but it’s the experience you’re paying for. Whether it’s on your bucket list, you like to walk out your door and into the water to snorkel, the views, the privacy, it’s all worth it."

"Nice birthday coupon!"

"Pretty large, very beautiful ambiance, multiple restaurants but pricey. Close to downtown and very close to the airport. Also, the hotel is within walking distance of a supermarket and restaurants. In addition, there is an artificial beach which is really nice."

"My wife and I loved EVERYTHING about this property and the two host, Frederick and Christel! We can’t say enough about the host and the accommodations! The property is perfectly located on the island near several beautiful beaches, restaurants, & markets, all within walking distance. The property itself is well maintained, very organized with plenty of room to socialize, or relax away from others, and provides everything you need for your stay. The host are lovely human beings who have the kindest hearts and most beautiful personalities we could have encountered. We highly recommend this Pension to all visitors traveling to Tahiti."

"The bungalow was very nice. The grounds are very nice. A separate communal fully equipped kitchen and dining area but nothing provided. Lovely swimming pool. There is a fridge, but no tea making facilities in unit. The best pizza just down the road we have ever tasted. Pity we did not have more days. This is a great place to chill out and relax."
