I liked our stay. I will say that the only thing I did not like about Tahiti was the poor treatment and abandoned animals. I wish that your government would do something about this issue. We loved your complimentary breakfast and coffee machine. The activities dept was very good to us.

They celebrated my birthday! I loved that part. Misinformation on transfer from the airport.. chances are you will land in Bora Bora via Tahiti airlines. Take the ferry to mainland and use the hotels transfer services. The price is half price from the mainland as compared from full price from the airport.
