We just returned from a trip to Easter Island and French Polynesia and our experience was great overall. The only bad experience was at the Royal Tahitian in Papeete. We arrived late in the evening and the check-in staff were surly and unhelpful. they gave us our room keys and said a guy outside would help us there. He was... more

The hotel is old and decadent. Funny smell when entering the room, only at the third room we found a properly working bathtub.No TV but they brought us one on request (no remote, too modern for this hotel), room not properly cleaned, carpet thorned appart. Reception service ok but failled to borrow us a umbrella to go to our room... more

We spent New Years Eve 2005 and several days thereafter at the Royal Tahitien and we loved it. We then returned for a couple of days, at the end of our holiday, after we had been island hopping. Everything about it was gorgeous. The expansive grounds covered in lush tropical plants with the lily pad covered stream running through it.... more

Visited Tahiti 31 Aug thru 5 Sep, had picked the Hotel Royal Tahitien as our base and was not disappointed (web site pictures are quite accurate). After a great flight on Air Tahiti Nui JFK-PPT were pleasantly greeted at 2 am and shown to our nicely appointed rooms. Next morning were able to see full extent of lovely grounds. Restaurant... more

We just got back from a vacation that included a two night stay at the Royal Tahitien. I made the reservation directly with the hotel and Yasmina was helpful and assured me that we would be comfortable. She was right! Arriving in the evening, we couldn't see the hotel at all. Yasmina greeted us by name, she was waiting for... more

16/19 found this review helpful

This hotel is nothing like it looks on the web. It was way out of town and rather tired looking and slightly shabby. It is way out of town on the wrong side and public transport access to the city ends very early. My main criticism though is that after checking out and subsequently finding that I had been overcharged... more

We stayed here the night prior to our Princess cruise. Did not want to spend alot so I'd say we got what we paid for. Room was clean but beds lumpy and toilet seat was chipped. However, pool area was lovely with a waterfall and jacuzzi and well-maintained grounds. Do not bother eating at the restaurant....mediocre food and service. We... more

We stayed here the first night we flew into Tahiti (like many travelers to FP we spent most of our time on other islands) and were quite happy with the accommodations. It’s a vintage late 60’s style luxury motel that has been impeccably kept up. It has a beachfront open air restaurant, a black sand beach, and a small but... more
