Top French Polynesia Hotel Reviews

Hilton Hotel Tahiti

8/10 Good

"The place has wonderful views and the pool is great, service overall excellent! My only negative comment is that a buffet breakfast for $55 that changes extra for an herbal tea is a bit too much ."

Tahiti Lagoon Resort

8/10 Good

"Our family of 5 stayed for 6 nights. I booked 2 rooms as there wasn't one that could accommodate all 5 of us. About 2 months prior to our departure I contacted the resort and asked if we could have adjoining rooms. Responded saying they would get us as close to each other as possible. Upon arrival we asked multiple times if there was something that could work for us. Although there were people coming and going constantly there wasn't much effort seen to try and accommodate our request. Hotel was full. We also don't speak French so understanding phone conversations wasn't possible. Not sure if changes were actually possible or not. My room and my husband's room smelled drastically different. Mine, room 328 smelled very musty, even with air conditioning on. Smelled nice when housekeeping came however went back to smelling "gross". A term used by my whole family. This was not mentioned until checkout as I didn't think it was worth the effort as we hadn't had much luck moving rooms earlier as we were always told the hotel was full. The pool guys were great. Able to find cushions when the loungers were full, bring up kayaks from the beach if requested. Easy to converse with and accommodating. Resort was cl Dinner restaurant was good, although selection was limited for us. Buffet restaurant changed prices every day, explanation never fully understood. Expensive. Location is great. Grocery store is 5 minute walk as is Le Gout Thé, very good for breakfast."
