Taravao Hotels

"The rooms were spacious and kept very clean. The staff was excellent in trying to service all the requests and very accommodating. Kitchen did not have enough utensils to cook full meals. Upon request they brought 2 sets of pans. It’s better to book the Royal suite if you absolutely need a full kitchen which had all utensils."

"Maison Taina is located in the hills above Papeete. It is an attractive two storey property that catches refreshing breezes and has fabulous views of the reef. Accessing the rooms upstairs for people with limited mobility could be an issue but there was plenty of help for me with suitcases.You definitely need a car to access food from stores, restaurants etc that are close by but not within walking distance or you need to stock up on food supplies before you get to the property. A taxi fare from the port to the property cost US $30.00.From the property to the airport US$50.00. My room and bathroom were spacious and featured a balcony with outdoor seating.Valerie was very happy to provide anything needed. The breakfast was served in the pool house which is there for the guests to use. It has a large fridge for guests' food, filtered water, a dining table and chairs and even fresh free bananas from the garden. Breakfast is served here every morning consisting of fresh fruit and delicious pastries and wonderful, authentic, french coffee. Wine is also available to purchase. The pool is refreshing and maintained to a high level.I really enjoyed my stay here due to Valerie's friendliness and helpfulness and the opportunity to meet other guests in the other three rooms. A great base for sightseeing in Tahiti or for me a lovely place to just relax after a cruise and before a flight home.Thank you so much to Valerie and her lovely family for looking after me so well.

"Large bungalow with plenty of space, comfy bed, fridge and coffee in room, beautiful deck to view the ocean. The pool was lovely and just steps from every bungalow! View was spectacular and peaceful. Area is very quiet and private, not too far from shops and restaurants. "

"Needs better lighting in bedroom with twin beds. Fans would be nice. Needs better way to read about rules etc. couldn’t run tv. We did enjoy our stay. "

"Clean bungalow, many surfaces of the room had Tiari flowers on them. Room smelled like a dream. Mosquito net had some holes would be my only complaint. Room and grounds were as pictured and staff was friendly."

"The home was clean and comfortable in an amazing setting. We enjoyed the beach and walking out into the lagoon using the house supplied reef shoes. My husband and friend enjoyed the kayak, as well. Our host was very responsive and helpful. "

"Convenience of booking van with house was awesome. Along with pick up and drop off at airport. Hosts were friendly, helpful and accommodated to all pur 20 questions and booked our trip to Moorea which was the highlight of our trip. Was raining most of the time for our trip but didn't stop us sight seeing as it was still really warm. House right on black sand beach and close to town. "
