Luxe hotels in Tahiti

'I stayed in the Kava bungalow which I thought was excellent. That said, the stairs to the loft where the main bed is are small and steep so something to keep in mind if you need to try to make it down to use the bathroom and back up in the dead of night. The grounds and the view are straight out of your favourite travel influencer’s TikTok, so that’s a highlight, for sure. And the food at the restaurant was great. The whole place is up a steep hill so it’s not really walking friendly but if you...

'We stayed for one night in Oct. 2026. We had a junior suite with a private plunge pool and lots of space. We had our meals there too, which were surprisingly delicious. French and American food choices were available. Since the property was located on a high cliff the views were beautiful. My only criticism is that all the outside decking and walking spaces were painted white, and there were several spots where there were one or two steps, which made it very difficult to distinguish. As...

'Spacious 3 bedroom villa with great air conditioning in bedrooms, wonderful deck and plunge pool. Handy to have washing machine. Close to good restaurants. Welcome guide would be helpful or more communication with host / front desk re garbage etc. We had no mosquitoes and sat outside at dusk and in the evenings. Wonderful stay!'

'A nice option for a 1 night stay after landing late at night. The owner was extremely helpful with a pick up and drop off at the airport, as well as accommodating an unexpected increase in our group size. Cute little eating area with a great breakfast. Would certainly stay again.'

'Location is nice and close to the village. '

'Great location in Papeete center also for ferries, cruise and the bus to the airport. Maybe the aircon could go down a degree C. Otherwise, almost perfect.'

'This is a great property if you wish to explore the south side of the island, or if you have your own vehicle. Unfortunately it is NOT 2.5 miles from the airport or the cruise ship port. It is on the opposite side of the island, Depending on traffic, a 90 - 150 minute drive. $115 taxi drive. You can get a 3 day tourist bus pass for 1 franc (a bus ride is 4 francs) but the busses stop running at 4:00 local time. The closest grocery store (outstanding selection of fresh fruit & veggies, meats, and...

'Poor grounds around the bungalows. All walking paths were dirt. There were no amenities and the breakfast was sparse and not included. Staff was helpful though.'

'Great little spot where you have privacy and share common areas like kitchen, bathrooms, showers. The host was helpful and friendly. The pool was great. Peaceful place. We stayed one afternoon-evening before catching our red eye flight back to Hawaii. It was a nice spot to take a nap, enjoy the pool, and freshen up. Would like to go back and check out the tree house! Maybe next time :)'

'Owner was helpful and recommended places to eat or buy food and places to explore in the area'

'The staff had a lot of problem with our reservation and could not find payments, etc.'

'Overall, I thought it was nice and comfortable. Google maps originally took me to the wrong place, but we got it sorted out. They seem to have a fair number of animals - besides a couple of dogs and a cat, I definitely heard a rooster as well. So it could be a little disruptive overnight when you're trying to sleep if you're not used to that sort of thing.'

'Prachtige tuin om in te wandelen (met kippen). Heel vriendelijke mensen. Nette kamer met airconditioning. Restaurant aan het water met muziek. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf'

'We very much enjoyed our stay at Fare Arihau Vairoo. The room was lovely and comfortable. Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming and took care of us as though we were family. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. All the food was prepared by our host from local ingredients mostly grown in their own garden. All the food was exceptional and the service, some from our hosts little girls, was delightful.'

'The hotel was in a convenient location and the staff were very nice and helpful. But the hotel needed some attention in its upkeep and amenities. The shower especially was very difficult to use. You had to step into a deep bathtub and the water sprayed everywhere making the floor wet. The room was a large suite but only had one small mirror in the bathroom. Our view was not great from the balcony.'
