Papeete Hotel Guide - Hotels with Bar in Papeete, Windward Islands

"Exceptioal Resort"

"Manava Resort is an absolute dream! You feel like you've stepped straight into a fantasy world that movies are made to model. There is so much that sets them apart, but the deep level of care and kindness shows by the staff really takes Manava to level of hospitality that is unmatched. The views are absolutely breathtaking! Don't miss a sunset or sunrise. Getting straight into the ocean from a private bungalow over the water is like nothing you could put into words. The location is great. It's not far (maybe 15 mins) from the ferry terminal and taxis are easy to come by. Honestly, we never felt the need or want to leave the resort as they had everything we needed. We will definitely be back! 20/10 recommend!!"

"Good location Near shops, restaurants, port Nice pool, large room Good internet Good location pre cruise "

"It’s a bit run down and the floors needed swept in the room the were dirty and gritty Kind of pricey for the condition it’s in. "

"I had an amazing experience staying here. I stayed at 4 hotels in the French Polynesian and this was by far the best stay. It was also the first one of my trip and none of the others were comparable. While majority of the amenities are not free the staff and ocean views make up for it. "

"As many other reviewers have noted, the setting is spectacular. The expectation is that such a beautiful property must surely be 5 star rated. But upon closer inspection, its luster quickly wears off. The huts are all tired, and in need of some updating. Wallpaper is peeling, and torn in places, and cleanliness is below average for any level of hotel. Perhaps most disappointing was the quality and variety of the restaurants. They were simply abysmal. Imagine a mediocre breakfast buffet for $50+! Or 2 cups of coffee for $12! Bottom line – if you’re OK with eye candy, gracious hardworking staff, but horrible dining, you’ll be happy with the property. If you want a true Hilton 5 Star experience, you won’t find it at this disappointing location"
