    Reva was the best host. she arranged multiple pick ups for a 5am arrival, 3pm arrival and 10 30 arrival. she has access to larger rental cars at a reasonable cost. the guest stay was comfortable and a great introduction to Tahiti for our family.

    I had a comfortable night at Manaeva Lodge! The place is very clean and nice and very close to the airport. The owner was also very kind, she kindly changed my room to a bigger one with a view when I told her that I was not able to lock the door of my initial room. She also kindly took me to the airport. Her dog was probably the best part of the stay!

    This lodge had all the charm and local flavor that we were hoping for, including a very accommodating and kind staff. The manager helped us find a late night dinner delivery service, she brought beautiful fruit and juice in the morning and even let us borrow a phone charger...the shuttle to and from the airport is a huge bonus, too (especially if she brings her little dog Nanni along!)

    Location is about half mile from airport but uphill. Do not try to walk with luggage. Room was clean and spacious. The property provided shuttle into town for reasonable price. Our flight out was in the evening, the property was gracious enough to let us stay in the room hours after posted check out time to accommodate our flight times. I would stay here again.

    there is no cable TV - just some pre-loaded movies - and they could use a more extensive selection of movies for those rainy days when you just want to relax in your villa.

    Good location on Muri Beach. Lovely resort and all facilities / amenities were as advertised. Very friendly and helpful staff - they called once daily just to see how everything was going. Loved the free kayaks to take on the bay on a first come first served basis. I had a few minor requests that were taken care of immediately. Really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this property! P.S. Great little Vietnamese restaurant directly across the street from the resort.

    Breakfast is minimal and staff does not speak English. A simple menu in several languages at each breakfast plate would have helped. We had to figure out coffee maker, etc on our own.

    Perfect for an overnight stay when one arrives to Papeete Airport in the evening and needs to catch the ferry to Moorea the next morning. Locally owned, casual but clean and authentic in a residential area on a hill overlooking the. The owner will meet you at the airport but MAKE SURE to coordinate in advance. She will put flower leis around your neck. She speaks good English but local taxi drivers mainly only speak Tahitian or French. DO have Polynesisn French Francs (NOT Euros) for taxis. There are ATMs at the airport but it can be chaotic. Get your Polynesian French Francs in advance- you’ll thank me. :-) Also - the ferries do take credit cards and can (and should) get your tickets online. NOTE: there are less ferries on Sundays.

    Maybe a little more variety with breakfast would be good

    Very close to the airport. Reva picked us up from the airport at 11.30pm which was brilliant and also dropped us off again the following day. Great service. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable.The breakfast was basic, just being fruit and juice.Although our stay was short I did enjoy it.
