Hilton Hotel Tahiti ★★★★

"Overall this was a very good hotel. We got a great rate through Trip.com for an ocean view room and the room faced both the pool and ocean. We went right after Christmas and although busy for the holiday etc. the resort itself did not feel as though it was at full capacity. We only stayed one night as we were leaving for Moorea the next morning (which in my opinion is a much nicer island) and only a quick 30 min fast ferry ride. The resort is very conveniently located across the street next to a large grocery store and small food court with great food and accessible through a 3-min walkway bridge from hotel (I only found out about this through TripAdvisor lol). Great way to save some money on meals and drinks etc. The hotel is a quick 10 min cab ride to the ferry in one direction and 15 min to the airport in the other direction. There really wasn’t anything wrong with the hotel other than that it was just basic. Updated rooms but nothing fancy and the only downside is that there isn’t anything to do on property etc. unlike some other resorts where you can actually paddle board, kayak, or snorkel on-site. Either way, the resort did its job, customer service was excellent, pool was a great size (substantial to swim in) and super clean, property was beautiful and clean in the lobby areas and we’d stay again in transit to the other islands."

InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"A very nice hotel as a structure, located in a way not very convenient for the main attractions. They could include fins in snorkeling and give everything for more than 1 hour a day: these are very strange limitations for a structure of this level. It is probably still the best resort on the island of Tahiti"

Tahiti Airport Motel ★★★

"It's just opposite the airport. You can even see the hotel sign when you exit the airport. It's even closer if you cross the parking lot. But it's halfway up the mountain, so it takes about 10 minutes to walk. If you have less luggage, you can walk. If you have a lot of stuff, I suggest you take a taxi. It looks close, but it's still a little far. Generally, if you take an early flight back to Tokyo, this hotel is okay. There are not many types of breakfast, only juice and bread."

Manaeva Lodge ★★★

"This hotel is pretty good for transit. We arrived after 1 a.m., and they offered free airport pick-up, which was quite nice. They also provide a paid transfer service to the ferry terminal and airport the next day, for about the same price as a taxi. The facilities and environment are so-so, but considering the price, I think it's a reasonably priced place to stay during your layover."

La villa Mareva ★★★★

Mave Mai Studio Papeete ★★★
