Royal Tahitien

Nice hotel with everything you need, pool, mountain views, beach, snorkelling, bus stop and small supermarket close by, very nice restaurant and bar but staff at front desk not that friendly. Customer service is avarage. |we asked for a taxi pick up at 1.30am to drive us to the airport but taxi didn't show up. not sure if taxi wasn't organised or taxi company didn't do their job well, luckily the night guard was there to organise a taxi for us.

Decor is a bit dated but staff is friendly and rooms and pool were clean. Directly behind the hotel is the beach - call it a 2 min walk from the pool. There is a small Tahitian black sand beach. If you enter the water and swim to your right (east) for a while, there is some coral just before where the small motorboats are docked. We saw a sea turtle and moray eel.

We booked this hotel for the day after getting off a cruise at 9am with an 11:30pm flight out. We requested an early check in at the time of booking and was told that we could use the pool until a room is ready. We arrived around 9:30am and were told a room would be empty at 11:00am and it should take around an hour to get it cleaned up. We asked for some towels for the pool. We were told they would bring them to us. We waited for around 15 minutes sitting on wet pool chairs. My husband went back to ask again. Still no towels after another hour. At that point we headed back to the lobby and saw the couple that had checked out waiting for a cab at 11:00am. When we mentioned that we never got the towels the women at the front desk said she saw my husband in the restaurant which was completely untrue. We sat there for over an hour and watched as many people checked out and new people were checking in and getting rooms while we sat there. At 1:30ish they finally gave us a room. The rooms very basic but comfortable. Oh, and my husband went back to the lobby to ask if we could use a converter and the said we had to purchase one. When in fact I heard many people returning converters they were able borrow and use. So, bottom line, this is not a hotel big on customer service and you get what you pay for.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights here, we landed late into Tahiti after a long flight from the UK and this hotel was a welcome rest before heading off to Moorea. The pool area was beautiful, room was clean & comfortable & the staff were so friendly & helpful. Great location for airport & ferry too. We actually preferred here to the Hilton where we stayed on our last night before we flew home. Royal Tahitien was smaller, more authentic Tahitien, and much better value. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Tahiti!

Needed a hotel close to the hospital to visit hospitalized spouse. Room very large with a kitchen and all silverware, dishes, pots, kettle, etc. Bed very comfortable. TV has 7 French language stations. WiFi works fine. Dinner at restaurant was relaxing overlooking the ocean. A minimart with cold drinks and foodstuffs is just around the corner from the hotel entrance. We had a late flight and hotel had us leave the room but we were able to use all facilities for the day. They will refill water bottles with cold filtered water at reception desk. All staff speak some English but keep Google Translate handy. Hotel will call taxi for local rides, to the port, or airport.

This is a beautiful little resort with the most friendly staff! The rooms are clean with comfortable bed. The bathrooms are dated and need to be redone. |Beautiful grounds and pool and a black sand beach. |Lovely waterfront restaurant with good food. |We really enjoyed out stay here!

While it's an older hotel, and some of the room facilities are a bit dated, it has a comfortable style and everything one needs for a few days - particularly if one is in Tahiti for a few days only before moving on to an another island. The restaurant has a beautiful and the crepes at breakfast were probably the best I've had for years!

When we first arrived for a 3 night stay following a Pacific Island cruise I was pleasantly surprised and felt some of the TA reviews a little harsh. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the air con incredibly, much needed in Tahiti's sweltering heat. The grounds were beautiful and our patio private.|However as amazing as the birds are they do begin to grate. If the Cockrell's don't wake you from the minute light breaks the gardeners will certainly do so come 8am . Hotel location good took us a 40 minute slow walk into Paheeta. |To break the camels back on Saturday the whole pool area was taken over all day by two Tahitian childrens parties. No shade or tranquility.
