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

"My arrival at the InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa from the airport was seamless and convenient, as the property is located just a short distance away. I arrived the evening prior to my birthday, which was the primary reason for my visit to Tahiti. After a long journey from Pennsylvania, I greatly appreciated the efficient and welcoming check-in process. The resort itself is charming, with staff who were consistently warm, pleasant, and eager to assist. My room was comfortable and well-appointed, with effective air conditioning and a decent view. Upon arrival, there was a noticeable mildew scent; however, I was able to freshen the space. The bed was slightly firm for my preference, though I still managed a restful stay. Breakfast each morning was relaxed and enjoyable. While the overall selection was fairly basic, I appreciated the made-to-order eggs…though consistency in preparation improved toward the end of my stay. I dined at several restaurants on the property, with Le Lotus being the highlight. I chose to celebrate my birthday there, and the experience was truly special, even while dining solo. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised with a thoughtful and delicious birthday dessert delivered to my room. One area for improvement would be the bar service, as it would be nice to have more flexibility in cocktail options beyond those listed on the menu. Overall, my stay was enjoyable, with several thoughtful touches that made my birthday trip memorable."

"The room and bathroom were spacious. The shower was big, the water pressure strong, and the water temperature warm/hot. There was a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom shower tile corners—thick mildew was forming—as if it had not been cleaned in a long time. Also, the mattress on the bed and little sofa in the room were on the soft side, lacking back support. Otherwise, the hotel was perfect for a layover. I didn’t have a chance to use the pool or book any spa services. Thank you"

"Great, independent family hotel. Love the activity shack, the pool, and the large poolside bar."

"Every Saturday there is a local dance show. Restaurant was very good with helpful and friendly staff."

"The staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are all upstairs with no elevator. This was a perfect stay for a night between islands. We slept comfy with Air conditioning. We had a small breakfast included with toasts, cheeses, butter, jams, and juice. It was also located in the heart of Papeete so you can walk to the brewery, food trucks, or the market at any time. Would highly recommend this place for anyone on a budget or anyone in between islands for a night or two. "

"Room was spotless"
