Hotels near Fa'a'ā International Airport - PPT, Papeete

Many mosquitoes in Tahiti…bring repellent! The hosts have mosquito repellent coils lit in the open common area and it helps. A small main gathering area for breakfast, share use of regular size fridge for leftovers, grocery store food, etc. A water machine to refill your own water bottle, coffee maker, hot tea pitcher, microwave, stove, etc all in common area & shared if you’d like to cook own meals. It’s very clean in the area. Also, a washer is available for use for your clothes & hang dry. The hosts are very kind and accommodating.

I would not suggest staying here Driveway to motel from street dangerous Large pot holes . Rocks Sharp turns Extremely steep. Owner was terrible she changed rules on us Threaten to call police if we did not stop making any noise Changed pool hours we could not make any noise at all after 6pm but did not stop people making noise at 7am in morning Food not good at all and very expensive Wifi was not very good only worked out side Pool was dirty Hot tub cold Shower not warm This place not worth staying here expensive and too many problems Only good thing was veiw

Faaa is the gateway to French Polynesia. It is a beautiful city capturing the culture of Tahiti. I visited several markets while there and was impressed by the local pearl, oils for the skin and fruit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful Tahiti! Thank you from Canada!

We had a great room at the Te Moana Resort overlooking the restaurant /lagoon.This Resort is situated in a central location in the Punaauia area and off the main road so is very quiet.There is an excellent supermarket, Magasin Orohiti, just across the road and transient nightime food trucks in the carparks near the supermarket .We used both these facilities which were very good.There are also permanent food trucks a few hundred metres down the coast road towards town.These are of a superior standard and their Pizza's are to die for ,due I guess, to the use of fresh local and imported French igredients (cheese,salami,tomatoes,dough etc).We ate at the Cafe Maeva...in a word superb. There is a local bar about 500 metres up the road from Te Moana going away from town, The Captain Bligh. Jean Pierre is the welcome man there and a really nice guy.A 1.50 litre pitcher of beer is 1900 Francs.Cheap.It's over the water and had live music in three languages.A great atmosphere .We also did a half day tour around the island with Fabrice of Eden Tours.He is an ex Airforce man and very well organised as one would expect .Highly recommended.We also got a ferry to Moorea for half a day and strolled between the Ferry terminal and the bay around the nearby Marina.Again very good food trucks just beyond the Marina and We had a Tuna bagette at the KEKAHI truck.Yummy!!! After getting back from Moorea we wandered downtown and stumbled across The Bora Bora Lounge.It was playing Country and Western style music and we wandered in for a beer which ended up a session with locals.We stumbled out and wandered down to the taxi rank and got a ride back to the the resort.We were there for 7 days which was ideal.

Faaa itself is OK. It's the Royal room in the hills tgat was problematic.The room is not really as described. Seems it's run by someone else than the owner, possibly absentee house owner. Many people come and go from the Royal. One group came for a visit and occupied the terrace. They were polite and quiet but smoked, so no joining for us. The house cleaness is questionable and it appears there is more lodgers than the one the who sleep in the loft. Living room dingy with curtains closed and sofa. Underfurnished. The bedding feels cheap and polyester-like. Parking is a total headache on a narrow ledge. Finally someone came to move own car but with another motorcycle in the small place that was hardly useful. Dog poo was there, easy to step in. It's close to airport but there are nicer places to stay than here. Valley location was nice. Otherwise do not recommend this place. As to airport facility, it was easy to park a car at longterm to jump to another island for 2 days.

Quiet hillside neighbourhood - one can continue on the road up to a monastery which makes for a refreshing morning or evening walk. Just down the hill and across the road is a large Carrefour and shopping center with all one needs. There is a also a bus stop so technically one can arrive and leave by bus,
