Independent, Papeete hotels

"Beautiful setting, gracious staff, beautiful room."

"Staff was attentive and polite. Layout of hotel was lovely and calming blending with nature "

"Staff was great! Hotel is right across cruise terminal. "

"This was a perfect end to our vacation. The reef is amazing to snorkel, the kayaks/paddleboards offered a different experience. Beach was well kept and beautiful. Hotel service and amenities surpassed expectations. I can’t say enough positive about the staff. Tini greeted us, made us feel so welcome and when we checked out offered the same welcoming feeling. Food was very good and there is a good variety offered, plus being able to take it to the bungalow was a nice option to remain private. Shore excursion desk was very helpful although we ended up exploring on our own. The options they offered seemed good and reasonable. The biggest surprise was the gift store offered a wonderful selection of pearls and they had WAY better pricing than anywhere else we visited on this island or Bora Bora. Thank you manava for a wonderful stay experience in Moorea! "

"Great resort "

"Convenient location on a major street 10 minutes from cruise port, restaurants & market place. Area is a little rundown. The restaurant, pool & spa looked ok but we didn't use any. Friendly & helpful staff. "

"Tucked down a suburban alleyway between a petrol station and a supermarket, Tea Tahiti is an unpretentious guesthouse, but it has everything you need – walking distance from the port and city centre; friendly, helpful staff; simply decorated rooms with air conditioning, comfortable beds, ensuite bathroom, fridge, microwave, kettle and utensils; outdoor furniture and a swimming pool; onsite car hire and transfers. Our airport transfer for a 4am flight was no problem and reasonably priced. On the downside, the view is of neighbouring buildings and the car yard, reception has limited hours, and the gardens are not very well established. But with the occasional dogs barking, geckos chirping, the rooster crowing and the chickens pecking round our feet as we sat by the pool, it felt like an authentic slice of Tahitian life."

"It was a great place for a wonderful family vacation! "

"We had a wonderful time and comfortable stay here."
