Top Papao Hotel Reviews

Maitai Express Tahiti

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for one night. Was in the perfect area we didn't have to get any taxis we walked everywhere. Only needed taxi to airport. Ferry is a 5 min walk at most. Only thing is it did smell in the hotel floors hallways but not in our room. French outlets only No water in room only water stations and ice stations Laundry is available to do and you need to pay. I will say walls are thin can hear everything"

Boutique Hotel Kon Tiki Tahiti

10/10 Excellent

"easily accessible"

Tahiti Lagoon Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room but could use a little updating. Breakfast was great. Pleasant and gracious staff."

Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A fine place to stay and experience Tahiti. Only downside is that for light eaters, the breakfast buffet (if not included) is poor value for money"

InterContinental Resort Tahiti by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The property, rooms, and staff were wonderful. The property has amazing views and amenities. The restaurants were all excellent and we were able to get reservations in all that we were interested in. The rooms were clean, well maintained, and stocked."

Hilton Hotel Tahiti

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean the included breakfast was very good fresh made eggs to order not a lot of gluten free options. Front desk was very helpful, we needed a later checkout and they took great care of us. I left something behind 2 weeks prior to this stay and they had it in lost and found. To me that is pretty amazing. Highly recommend a stay here."

Hotel Royal Tahitien

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay at the hotel"

Sublime Tahiti Beach Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! The bungalow was clean, well maintained, had everything we needed and on a beautiful property looking towards Tahiti Iti. The staff (Anne was a pleasure to meet) was very helpful and available to assist in questions and suggestions to enjoy the island. Sublime is in a central location on the island away from Papeete making a restful and quiet retreat perfect for a relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again."

Pension Pare Lodge Tahiti

8/10 Good

"Great little spot where you have privacy and share common areas like kitchen, bathrooms, showers. The host was helpful and friendly. The pool was great. Peaceful place. We stayed one afternoon-evening before catching our red eye flight back to Hawaii. It was a nice spot to take a nap, enjoy the pool, and freshen up. Would like to go back and check out the tree house! Maybe next time :)"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Papao?

The best area to stay in Papao is along the west coast, particularly around Mahana Park, for convenient access to amenities and activities.This stretch of Papao's coastline is well-developed with a good selection of quality resorts and dining options. It offers beautiful views of the lagoon and is known for its calm waters, superb for swimming and water sports. The area around Mahana Park is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a public beach and picnic facilities.Couples often find this area ideal due to the selection of luxurious resorts that cater to romantic getaways. Many accommodations here offer overwater bungalows and private beach access, superb for a secluded and relaxing escape. The sunsets over the lagoon from this side of the island are particularly stunning.For families, staying near Mahana Park provides easy access to a public beach with gentle waves, suitable for children.

When is the best time to go to Papao?

The best time to go to Papao is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, as this period offers the most consistently pleasant weather for a relaxing holiday.During these months, you can expect warm temperatures, typically around 26-28°C, with less humidity and a gentle breeze. This makes it ideal for enjoying the beaches, water sports, and outdoor excursions without the interruption of heavy rainfall. The calmer sea conditions are also great for snorkelling, diving, and boat trips.Even during the dry season, occasional brief showers can occur, but they usually pass quickly, leaving clear skies. This period generally sees more sunshine, providing excellent conditions for photography and spending extended time outdoors.For those looking to avoid the peak tourist crowds and potentially find better value on accommodations, the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October can be particularly appealing. You'll still enjoy fantastic weather but with fewer visitors.
