The Hilton's location conveniently halfway between the cruise port in the city and airport and adjacent to a supermarket across the highway by overpass, were the reasons for our choice of accommodation in Papeete, Tahiti in July 2024. For this second of two stays we requested a room closer to reception and the restaurants and this was delivered. Because we had to catch an early morning flight and therefore missed the exceptional buffet breakfast, the abundant breakfast boxes the hotel provided were more than sufficient and much appreciated. BUT ...

At early morning check out, I asked for the breakfast boxes, having previously arranged and confirmed them the night before, but the request had been FORGOTTEN! We waited a VERY long time while the kitchen prepared the boxes. Fortunately they were delivered to us in the taxi just as we were about to depart for the airport. There was MORE than enough breakfast in the boxes so we shared the contents with a fellow traveller while waiting in the very overcrowded airport. Hilton Hotel Tahiti is a superb place to stay in comfortable rooms close to the city, cruise port and airport with many onsite restaurant choices and we enjoyed our two stays there.

Loved the pool and there was a mini mall and grocery store right across the street.

The tv only had french channels, no beach to lay out on or swim at that was walking distance.

Beautiful property!! Fantastic views from room #440 Large pool. Poolside menu service was excellent. Ordered the poke bowl. It was fresh and absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly and attentive. Concierge staff and reception staff were also friendly. Walking distance to shopping and huge local town market near ferry terminal. Clean, spacious rooms. Loved our stay despite the minor issues.

Swimup bar service was slow during happy hour Our bath towels had set in stains and one had a rip. It was corrected quickly Like everything in Tahiti, food and drinks are pricey. $20 cocktails. Breakfast buffet was $50/person. We also tried the a la carte service on the terrace. Service was really slow and they burned my croissant sandwich

Pool and pool bar area, room size, cleanliness were spot on. View from room, gardens very pretty. Even with minor issues was a very nice stay. Day porter Neal was awesome, helpful and is a credit to the hotel.

Lack of towels at the pool. Patchy service in the pool bar restaurant, slow to clean room had to ask. Check in wasn't great the staff were surly and didn’t explain anything had to work it out for ourselves, take our own bags to room even though there was night porter. No hot water on day one and no apology for it juts told issues, lucky it was resolved that day.

This is an outstanding hotel. The pool is amazing - very large, not crowded when we were there in May. The hotel itself is beautiful and the room was very nice and comfortable. The staff are excellent and helpful. We booked a tour through the Concierge who was also super helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Be aware that the convenience store hours in the hotel seem to not follow what's posted on the door. Supposed to close at 8:00 pm, but I think that means the person working there is all closed up and out of there by 8:00 pm, so if you show up at 7:45, they'll probably be sitting in there with the door locked.

Great swimming pool, spacious rooms, even with two queensize beds if available, location close to Papeete, airport and the harbour, helpful staff, lovely and large entrance to the hotel and lobby. The location and position of the lobby, like more good spaces in Papeete allows a pleasant sea breeze to go through it. A Carrefour supermarket easily walked to by a bridge crossing the road.

Service was very slow at dinner time when the hotel was well occupied. Breakfast was extensive but a bit too expensive.

Breakfast was good but extra healthy options such as chia seeds would be good and a juice bar. The pool is exceptional with iridescent tile’s shimmering in the sun, I love swimming and it is in my top 5 pools in the world 🌎

A small thing but spa and concierge are not on the same booking system causing a hic cup

Great pool with beautiful sundown. Live music around the weekend. Supermarket and small shopping mall reachable via food bridge from the hotel. Close to airport and city center (20-30 minutes walk). Specious room, friendly staff. Good restaurants. Trip to Moorea via ferry, which is a short taxi ride away.

Airplanes landed every night at around 11pm which was quite noisy. One of the booked excursions did not reach my expectations as I feel it was too pricy and the delivered quality was not good enough.

This is a fabulous property right in the middle of everything in Papeete. It is between the airport and the ferry, making it easy to access either, plus they will give you access to the facility after your check-out if you have to wait for your transit. Perfect fresh water pool with plenty of space and fantastic views - especially of the sunset over Moorea!

The view from our room wasn't great, and the room was on the small side but otherwise it was great!

Location is half way between the airport and Papeete downtown. Located across the road from Pacific Plaza, which houses a large supermarket and pharmacy. There is a bus service from outside the resort to downtown. The resort and rooms are maintained in excellent condition.

The only caveats are that smoking is allowed on the balconies (which is a bit of an annoyance for non smokers who then need to go indoors to escape) and the resort is aimed at an adult demographic ( which may be an issue if children are in tow). One staff member decided to dispute our claim that the separate bowl of chips that accompanied a charcuterie board, cheese board and wine were cold. Why? A stupid response to a simple request
