Punaauia Hotel Guide - beach near Parc Vairai hotels in Punaauia, French Polynesia.

"My husband and I recently stayed at this Tahiti apartment for 3 nights prior to a cruise. I actually booked 4 nights so that we’d be able to check in at 7 am after a very early flight arrival. We rented a car and the apartment was easy to find with the instructions that were provided beforehand. Julie (host) met us at the apartment at 7 am. She walked us through the complex and apartment and provided us with elevator tag and gate remote to the parking lot as well as provided a code for the door. After resting a bit from our overnight flight we set out to a grocery store very near the apartment which was great. Upon returning we were unable to gain entry with the door code so we contacted Julie who let us in remotely and used the actual key for the duration of our stay. Never did get the code to work. Also, I think the battery to the gate remote was dying as sometimes it took a little for the gate to open but eventually it always did. The location of the apartment is convenient to the park just down the road with the food trucks, the grocery store, the marina where there’s restaurants and to the airport. Driving to and from Papeete was no problem. We had an excellent view of the marina and the island of Moorea. Sunsets were beautiful from the balcony. We did use the pool in the afternoons and found it to be very refreshing. We found the apartment to be clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our time here."

"I stayed here because it's close to the airport, and I thought I could walk, but it's too dangerous to walk - you pretty much have to take a taxi, which is $20 each way from the airport. Also, I thought they had a cafe or something there, but there is no food (just a vending cooler), so if I'm paying $20 each way to get here, I'd probably stay somewhere else for the price. "

"Stayed 6 nights in an overwater bungalow as part of a long trip to the islands of both Hawaii and French Polynesia. Service provided by our assigned concierge, Kea, was better than any butler service I have had over the years at other luxury hotels. The property is lovely and well kept. The bungalow was spacious, updated, and clean. Unfortunately there were a number of things that diminished the overall experience. First, the noise. I’ve stayed in overwater accommodations previously in The Maldives, Indonesia, and Colombia. I am currently at the Intercontinental La Moana in Bora Bora in an over water bungalow. It is serene and wonderful. I anticipated a similar experience of serenity and tranquility in Tahiti. But, instead, I had to listen to very loud music and announcements that went well past 10PM at night. Having traveled the world over the past 35 years I always have silicon ear plugs to dull the noise. Even with the earplugs, however, it was still loud. Some of the noise came from nearby but much of it was from the Intercontinental. In French Polynesia the year round humidity is between 80 and 90 percent. The average daily temperature hovers around 30. The fans in the dining areas were not sufficient to provide a comfortable dinning experience — even in shorts, tank top, and flip flops. The food was mediocre including at La Lotus. WiFi in room was ok but was not available in the gym and other areas of the property. This hotel pales in comparison to many other resorts."

"We had a long layover so we decided to book a hotel near the airport. Communication before arrival was excellent and they responded quickly to our questions.. We arrived in the evening and later then expected due to a flight delay. Even with the delay, they had a shuttle waiting to pick us up. They also took us to the airport very easily in the morning the next day. Very pleased with the staff at the Lodge."

"Staff was extremely slow, other than that a nice hotel"

"Une très bonne équipe, l’appartement, parfait très propre très spacieux et à dire Agence à la hauteur je la conseille à toute personne qui voyage. Bravo"

"Villa Teanaiva was wonderful. We were greeted with flower lei by our hostess Maire and her daughter-in-law. The entire house was clean and spotless. All the furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed. She even made us some homemade chocolate chip cookies and banana bread. Every detail was exquisite, right down to the extra large, fluffy towels. Highly recommend this place for larger families or a bigger group. "

"This was our second time staying here, and it was just as amazing as the first! The hospitality is truly outstanding. Emanuel greeted us at the airport and helped us get our car, which made everything so easy right from the start. Lydia welcomed us when we arrived at the home and made us feel right at home.The house had everything we needed and more—the fridge was thoughtfully stocked with eggs, bacon, fruit, and other essentials, which we really appreciated. The pool was perfect for cooling down, and we spent a lot of time enjoying it. The views are absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more relaxing.Great place, great people—we will definitely be back again!"

"The host was very welcoming and addressed all questions and concerns with a quick and positive response."
