Conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from the Papeete ferry wharf, Fare Suisse provides an excellent base for visitors of Tahiti. This guest house provides free WiFi and is set in a lush tropical garden.

The free shuttle from and to the airport was very much appreciated. We had a good supper and breakfast on the terrace. The site was well managed with a choice of seating and eating areas and the accommodation was clean and lovely.

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool.

The owners, a married couple, Luc and Laurence,understand hospitality. It was a true treat to stay in the small, intimate oasis, hidden behind a door and a hedge complete with a pool. We stayed in the Anqanqa room, which was a large space with its own adjoining garden, and well equipped kitchen area, all thoughtfully designed to create an incredible casual bohemian and Tahitian feel. It is an easy 10 minute walk through safe streets to Central Pepeete. It is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for affordable, clean and friendly accommodation with yummy yummy breakfast included. The supermarket is located an easy 2 to 3 minute walk away. We highly recommend this accommodation, and would definitely stay again when returning!!

Location was great. Pick up and drop off at airport wonderful for 2000 Fr each. Room very clean and comfortable. Swimming pool wonderful. Hosts were terrific, very accommodating, allowing us to add breakfast at the last minute, allowing us to rent our room for an additional half day so we could tour the island and return to our room to get ready for our evening flight. The option to rent a car for the day was also terrific.

Set in Faaa, 5.3 km from Paofai Gardens and 14 km from Museum of Tahiti, Airport Pamatai Studio offers spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests.

The host is a lovely, adorable and warm person. We stayed for two weeks in French Polynesia and in some fancy hotels. However, this place was by far the best in terms of feeling welcome and feeling the warmth of Polynesian people. The bungalow is super clean, modern and has a range of cooking facilities. The host prepared us some wonderful dinner for a very reasonable price that we enjoyed with a most beautiful view of Papeete. The host also picked us up at the airport and dropped us off again in the middle of the night for our flight home. It was just the perfect way of finishing our holiday.

We're very glad we found this place for the night. We received warm, very accommodating welcome even though our plane was delayed and we arrived late at night. The setting is wonderful and you can hear the river and wake up to palm trees. Would definitely stay again if we need a place in Tahiti

    Right in town and walking distance to everywhere. Nice and convenient. We had a couples room which had a bit of air conditioning. And they gave us bread and cheese and coffee and oranges for breakfast- get in early folks before the breakfast disappears. A good hostel and net some good, honest people there.

    Apartment was clean, and kitchen with required utensils, coffee, sugar all was there. Secured parking lot, View from apartment was great, Close from airport (around 15 mins). Rental is recommended, apartment in uphill. Great host and my flight was delayed and he waited until 10 PM to receive me. Once down hill there are shops, gas station, freeway. Restroom and shower are good and think recently renovated, you can provide hair shampoo.
