The hostess was very responsive and made us feel safe and comfortable. The apartment had everything we needed, and we really appreciated all the amenities such as the coffee machine with capsules and the monoi toiletries. The location was also very convenient, close to the airport and the centre.

It was our first time visiting Tahiti and Papeete and we decided to stay in the capital and explore on foot. The location of the apartment was perfect for us and everything we needed was in walking distance. The apartment was very quiet and the bed very comfortable (hard mattress). The quiet pool was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring the city. Thank you so much again for everything.

About 90% of excursions were water related activities and if that’s not your passion it’ll take a bit of effort to find nature, culture options. What I didn’t like as a solo traveler is that Viator tours were mainly required a couple/2 person minimim booking. Thankfully booking.com excursions was a life saver. Most restaurants are closed between 2-5 pm so keep that in mind. I’m not a foodie so I didn’t explore the fine dining options. Papeete lacks a robust night life, it’s more a “get away from real life” and relax that caters to water sports types. I realized I’m a “city girl” type so after 3 days of chilling I was restless.

Papeete is a dump! We expected more from the French.

Papeete is a dump! We expected more from the French. Very 3rd world, unsafe water, no sidewalks, trash and graffiti abounds, bums begging, dirty drainage canals, and for this you are charged extremely high prices for everything! Bora bora wasn't much better... Moorea was nice. We took a cruise to the Marquesas and Tuamotus which were still unspoiled and gorgeous with genuine natives. The islands are stunning, but just go to Hawaii.

Papeete itself is very bland and the market is over-rated (in my opinion). I wished I had planned properly and spent few nights at Moorea, but I didn't know what to expect. Rookie mistake 🫣 Lessons learnt. Despite mixed advice from the locals, I felt safe walking at night, which is a positive outlook for the Island 🙏 As many reviewers have mentioned, Papeete is only a good stopover to the other islands 🏝 😀 The 2 highlights of my stay was the day trip to Moorea, doing the safari excursions and the cultural night at the InterContinental Hotel.

Over-all it was great.

Over-all it was great. We spent 7 days on Tahiti, plus a half-day excursion on Moorea. 5 days on Tahiti would probably be enough. Next time we will visit a couple of others islands for a few days. Good food and shopping in Papeete.

Spending a day or two there would have been enough, there...

Spending a day or two there would have been enough, there was obvious poverty, with multiple homeless people. Not what I expected at all. I hired a car to visit the sites, but when I was driving around, everything looked closed, or uninviting. As a solo tourist, this wasn't the best place to visit. If I had known better, I would have book a night & visited the different islands.

The people are what make it so good.

The people are what make it so good. Very polite people who appear to be honest and kind. The shopping mall across the road from the Hilton was a wonderful place with a food hall and a good supermarket. We enjoyed a day trip to Moorea and a taxi trip around that island. Also the 5-hour Tahiti group trip and the boat trip. I did not do any snorkelling as I do not swim and I thought perhaps an activity in knee-high water could have been included in the boat trip. The Museum of the Islands was a good activity.

We needed a stay for one night coming from FS Bora Bora before catching our international flight early in the morning. Staying in this flat compared to the traditional layover hotels (Hilton, Intercontinental) was perfectly fine at less than half the price. The host is super helpful and helped us book a taxi for the next morning which arrived well on time. One thing to consider in Papeete is that on Sundays many shops are closed but a nearby supermarket is open.

We had the great pleasure of staying at Carlo's studio. The location is very good, a great swimming pool on the roof, and Carlos is a very good and caring host: he met us at the airport, showed us the island, gave us advice and helped us book other excursions. The kitchen needs some updating, but it didn't stop us from enjoying our stay. We also had the pleasure of traveling by bicycle. Good luck to you Carlos.

Spacious and clean, well equipped modern room meeting expectations. Convenient location between airport and central Papeete, good for layovers between flights and/or ferry rides. Late checkout possible depending on availability; optional use of "departure lounge" (charge) between checkout and onward travel.
