Hotel Royal Tahitien

This hotel is located right on the beach, but there is quite a rip current in the afternoon. Just be aware. The property is manicured, greenery everywhere. The pool is suitable for any age. Reception staff are super friendly (like most people in Polinesia), they kept our luggage till check-in and gave us pool towels. Restaurant has good options, their portions are quite big, we shared one. The room is great size and clean. The bed is comfortable.

We really enjoyed the stay. Hotel is in very good condition. We struggled with the wifi, that was the only negative

Lovely property, relaxing, quiet residential neighborhood Great restaurant

Charming old world resort beautifully modernized. Convenient to all area has to offer, yet out of the hustle and bustle of Papeete service. Great price. A highlight of our trip

They have tried to update the rooms - the bed was comfortable and room in decent shape, though the shower head is very old and placed very low. I expect that in the past the grounds were nice but they are now quite overrun with chickens and roosters and what once might have been a pretty pond and stream running through the property has been left stagnant. There is no useable beach and what bit of sand is there is littered with bottles and waste - I realize that the hotel doesn't control what washes up on the short but I would expect that they have their staff clean it. The price is reasonable so this might be a place to stay if you just need a night between flights or are not planning on spending time at the hotel during the day.

The grounds are verdant and well established. I loved all the birds, including the chickens. Beautiful flowers fall from the trees. It is paradise remembered. Yes, it is old, but with such a wonderful staff, you feel that this is the right place to relax and renew.

Scrolling through options that cost an arm and a leg, i was pleased to find this affordable option. Great staff, good food ( but after 4 days we had tried most options), comfy bed and beach access. No pool bar, but bar is a short walk. Ice machines would have been nice, but bar staff was accomodating. Chickens, a few lazy dogs and bashfull cats were a plus.

We will stay here again if we ever come back. Great staff, clean rooms and quiet.

We stayed for 2 nights on the tail end of our island hopping and it was the perfect place to wind down in Papeete! Lots of parking, close enough to downtown area, great pool and beach setup as well as a nice lagoonarium. The room was very spacious for 4 and had a huge balcony.

Great people, furnishings a little "dated."
