Te Moana Tahiti Resort

Fantastic stay! One night. Excellent snorkeling out front. Great food trucks nearby! Comfortable beds. Great value for price. Will stay again. Following up after seeing negative reviews at the same time we were there. Some folks expect OTW bungalow experiences for a fraction of the price. Do your homework. This hotel is a great value for travelers that are independent, can make decisions about food choices (stay in or go out), and love local hospitality. For tjise that dont, by all means head to Bora Bora.

The advice I can give to those who decide to spend a holiday in this hotel is to be very careful with the final bill you will have to pay and with the organization, as the professionalism of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. Specifically, I stayed in this hotel with a friend and my wife for three days at the beginning of August. I then moved to Moorea, forgetting my passport in the room; my friend delivered it that same day to the reception, explaining what had happened. I also wrote an email specifying that I would come to collect it in mid-August, and the response was that everything was under control. However, when I presented myself at the reception in mid-August to claim my passport, total chaos began because the staff had not the slightest idea where it was, though they fortunately found it after more than half an hour. During those same three days in early August, I rented a car and booked another for when I would return from the Tuamotu Islands. Upon returning from Rangiroa, I went to the key collection area near the pool and faced another unpleasant surprise: the staff knew nothing about my car and told me no cars were available. I showed them the reservation form that they themselves had countersigned, and they began making phone calls to which no one responded. Since it was evening and everything else was closed, I could not turn to other companies; I told them I would not move from there if they did not find me a car and eventually, "coincidentally," they found one. This resulted in over an hour of waiting and significant stress, and we also noticed that the breakfast bills were inflated. Certainly, if we ever return to Tahiti, we will stay far away from this hotel; as they say in these cases, "forewarned is forearmed". The service is truly terrible for the level this hotel structure boasts and, above all, for the high costs it proposes. We found ourselves a thousand times better in Polynesian homestays than in this luxury resort.

AMAZING! The resort is beyond beautiful! The room is HUGE and had plenty of space for 3 people. The whole unit was super clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were amazing, and very luxurious. The property overall, was amazing too! The restaurants were delicious and had a variety of options. The only thing I wasn't overly pleased with was breakfast. Everybody I came into contact with was beyond pleasant and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anybody, and I will be staying here again on future trips!

Although we had one of the less expensive rooms at the front of the hotel, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom well laid out. The rest of the hotel though is gorgeous! The fabulous lagoon area , swimming pool with swim up bar serving great cocktails! The breakfast buffet is extensive, well prepared and delicious! The waterspouts/car hire team by the pool are excellent, warm, friendly, slightly mischievious but professional. This is a really lovely, warm welcoming hotel. One tip though...the rooms at the front face the road which is very, very noisy.

Stayed at Te Moana resort Tahiti for two nights at the end of two weeks stay in French Polynesia. Of the 4 hotels we stayed in this was by far the nicest. Room was large, came equipped with a kitchenette, great balcony and with sea and island view. Furniture was a little dated and has seen some service, but hardly noticeable given the overall quality of the room. Very friendly and efficient staff with 24hr reception, flowers in our room for our anniversary was a nice touch, nice pool with bar and coral reef. Good range of activities and excursions available directly from the hotel. Resteraunt was pricey, but the food and service was first class.|Breakfast buffet was very comprehensive and filling, wild chickens on the table were a distraction. |All in all, from our short experience, I would recommend this hotel to friends.

I made the Te Moana my base of exploration for my trip to Tahiti. I loved the location with just a few minute walk to bus stop to Papeete and the drop off bus stop right at the resort. As others have mentioned the near by food trucks are fantastic for dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast. I'd definitely stay again.

We found this resort online and really were happy with it. It is simply beautiful, the rooms are large and clean and the beds comfortable. We especially enjoyed the pool and beach view area. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. It is definitely a place to stay to feel that you are, indeed, in paradise!

I am a travel advisor who has stayed in thousands of hotels and resorts, and my experience at Te Moana was one of the worst I’ve encountered. The issues began immediately: in our first room, we found a roach in the bed, which is absolutely unacceptable in any hotel, let alone one positioned as upscale. That alone forced us to leave the room. The rest of the room was filthy on top of that. The second room offered wasn’t much better — we discovered used underwear left behind, and the general cleanliness was lacking. It’s clear housekeeping and maintenance standards are far below what should be expected at this price point. The entire resort is filled with a heavy, artificial fragrance clearly being used to mask foul odors rather than address them. This makes the environment feel unpleasant and suffocating, not fresh. The pool area is in visible disrepair, again not matching the rates the property charges. Even the dining was disappointing: a $33 burger that was appalling in quality — truly one of the worst I’ve ever had. I’m not even certain it was beef. Overall, this resort is nowhere near worth the money. If you’re coming to Tahiti, please spend the extra and stay at the Hilton or the InterContinental. You will get better cleanliness, better service, and a property that actually meets international hospitality standards. I rarely leave negative reviews, but travelers deserve honesty. Te Moana needs significant improvement before it should be considered a legitimate option for visitors to Tahiti.
