Huge grounds, beautiful swimming pool, big room,

Their booking.com website. (Your website) unlike all the other hotels I’ve booked through booking.com, this one isn’t very good. Confusion about twin or double bed. Is breakfast included? Can you pay extra if you want breakfast included. They offer an airport transfer for a fee. I tried 3 times to book it. Provide flight details time of arrival etc. Only response each time was . We are very busy, we will get back to you. They never did….until I contacted them to say I don’t want the transfer. Immediate response . It’s not too late to book!!!

We requested a ground floor room due to a very late arrival & not wanting to carry suitcases upstairs. Room was large with a kitchenette plus outdoor seating. Air con worked however due to high humidity it needs time. Pictures on site as per our room. Restaurant overlooks the water. Tania the maitre’d & her staff friendly & helpful. Enjoyed our food plus drinks. Breakfast as stated a little pricey for what is offered however enjoyable. Small shop with limited supplies a 5 minute walk from Hotel. We enjoyed the pool & gardens. Location requires transport to town. On Sundays shopping hours minimal. Hotel Staff friendly & helpful

Location, a little further than I expected plus it was a Sunday so transport + town & restaurants opening hours minimal.

The Royal Tahitien exceeded my expectations. We had a huge, comfortable, very clean room with good A/C and a pleasant view of the gardens and a private patio. Excellent value for dollar. I did not try the restaurant but I thought the menu was excellent. Hanging out by the pool was pleasant. I would stay here again.

We checked in late at night after using booking.com to get the room. The desk clerk checked the person just before us in very quickly but had a lot of trouble figuring out how to check in someone who used a third party service. She had to make a phone call and even then it took her over half an hour to get us checked in. The pool looked a little murky also. Other than this, I have no complaints. This is a very good value for Tahiti; our room was large and very clean and comfy; the staff were friendly; the grounds are pretty.

I’m giving this a five star review in the context of this being a three star hotel but is really bordering on being a four star. It’s in amazing location with plenty of car parking space, in fact you can park in front of your apartments and has everything you need for a nice stay in a well priced (relatively as everything in Tahiti is expensive) resort with a restaurant, bar, swimming pool and exclusive access to a beach (which is a one minute walk from here). The staff were helpful and the best thing was that this is only a 30 minute walk to the centre of Papeete and there are various buses on the main road. I would recommend!

No free breakfast included

The new pool is beautiful! Grounds were well kept, room was simply decorated, very clean and the extra large bed with all white bedding was very comfortable, clean and fresh! It was a short walk to get some amenities for our room, and staff was very helpful when we had questions. Beach was easily accessible and the restaurant /bar was extremely large to accommodate large groups and had a stunning view of the ocean no matter where you sat!! An enjoyable stay!!

I booked this hotel as it stated in the amenities section that the hotel offered an airport shuttle. There was no indication that this was and extra cost. To our surprise we had to book a cab. Thankfully we had some local currency left as the cabs do not take anything but cash!! This was an unexpected and disappointing glitch. It would be a suggestion to indicate in the hotel’s description that this facility is not the best choice should someone have a disability, as this may not be the facility to stay at. There are rooms on a second floor and there are no elevators, however there are rooms on ground level. It would be recommended that when booking this hotel, a customer with disabilities be clear that they would need a ground level unit.

beautiful place, gardens , swimming pool, rooms all very nice and comfortable. The restaurant has a view of the ocean and offers inside and outside seating. The hotel offers day passes and also was very accommodating when we arrived earlier and departed late. We could shower, use the pool and store our bags very easily

The restaurant had very loud music until late at night. Also there are so many birds eating out of the tables even while we are still using them that you had to cover your food when you leave the table to go to the buffet. Also the beach in front of the hotel is not that very nice.

We stayed one night before taking the ferry to Moorea. The location was perfect, staff incredibly welcoming, room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I asked for and received 3 rooms near each other for our party of 8.

Really minor- we arrived after dark and when looking for our place, it was hard to see the numbers on the door. (Had to stop the car and run up to the door to see). I didn’t ask for ground floor and should have. No elevator.

Way above expections , for a quiet out of town sort of Hotel , loved the restaurant and out look , and generally peaceful atmosphere. The drive into the town was not far , and so kept us in Papeete.

We flew in late ie 11:00pm , so was worried re the reception , but it was good and there was no drama .

Old world charm. The grounds are lovely with all the trees and bushes. The buildings are positioned so everyone has a view but from your patio you don't see into anyone else's room. Pool was very nice.

Sliding glass door was very very hard to open to get onto the patio. The waterfalls at the pool no longer work.

the room with the terrasse outside. The size of the room which is above average. the restaurant overlooking the beach. Food was very good.

The noise done by room upstairs where people were pulling the chairs. I would suggest to put some self-adhesive patches under the chair legs, so when people are moving the chairs, it does make any noise on the floor tiles for the people underneath.
