Book Papeno'o hotels

This is a beautiful resort, but a large one, so it can be a hike to some things, depending on where your room is. There are 2 pools so one or the other will be most convenient depending on room location. Four different restaurants, so it's a nice variety, which is good considering you are captive here as there are no restaurants (or anything) in walking distance. The pool areas were absolutely gorgeous! I loved that there is also a saltwater lagoon that you can snorkel in since there isn't really a "beach" accessible from the resort. They also have a sea turtle rehab sanctuary, which I loved! We stayed in a Moorea view room with a balcony and the view was gorgeous and the room was spacious. The only thing besides the bed was one very uncomfortable chair and a desk chair. It would be nice if there was a little sitting area (it had room). There was a small fridge. Food was very expensive (expected) and very good. We ate at Huriama Garden one evening for tapas. The plates are TINY, like a few bites but still ~$20-30 each, so very expensive to feed 2 people more than a little snack. I wouldn't do that again. We ate one night at the Tiki Bar and had a delicious pizza that was perfect for 2 people for basically the price of one tiny tapas dish at the other place. La Tiara was excellent for breakfast and dinner. Excellent staff and you can stay at the resort day of checkout and they have shower rooms to get cleaned up before your flight. Would recommend this place!

We booked a quick stop just to shower and cool off in the air conditioning between our ferry ride from Mo’orea and our red eye flight out of Tahiti. Thank goodness we didn’t have to stay the night! First off, Expedia mentioned that there was a free shuttle to the airport but when we got there the lady said there was no such thing and we would need to call a cab. We wouldn’t have booked at this hotel if there was no shuttle (misleading information by either Expedia or the hotel). We were hot and sticky and just wanted to get to our room so did not observe the lobby closely upon arrival. However, when we left we stood in the lobby and observed while waiting for our cab. Every lounger/couch cushion was worn to the point where the leather was separating. So we did not want to sit. While standing and waiting for our taxi, we looked up to see that the ceiling tiles were missing all over. Part of the ceiling was peeling down. You could see that at one time this hotel may have been nice. The room was not much better. There was an empty soap/shampoo container left in the corner of the shower stall and the tiles had not looked like they were cleaned for a very long time (grime in all four corners). The towels were yellow with stains/spots so we did not feel very clean. This place needs a re-do!! Obviously I was concerned by the ratings but we thought it would be okay to at least take a shower and cool off. I didn’t even want to sit on the bed.

Excellent view, Beautiful black sand beach had quite a bit of trash on it, Food was ok, pool definitely needs repair but was functional, Faucet in bathroom was completely loose from the sink the flush button on the toilet was broken Lots of chickens crowing very early in the am There was a used condom in the couch. Staff was friendly Over all I would not recommend staying here until upgrades are made. The property appears underfunded for repairs and maintenance

We checked in at 5 am, but didn't need to check into our room. We just needed our bags held, which they did, and filled up our water bottles for us before going on an all day excursion. The room was comfortable, there's ice and laundry available, and it's close to everything. We chose this location because we were catching a ferry the next morning to bora bora and will be using them upon return for a ferry to moorea. Very nice and comfortable.

That was nicest, cleanest property. It was beautiful. A lot of places to relax and enjoy weather and water views

Beautiful view and charming character. The room was comfortable and the outdoor shower was fun!
