Valerie greeted us as we arrived and showed us to our rooms, which were extremely clean and very tastefully decorated. There was an AC in each of the two bedrooms and a very large bathroom with a shower and big jacuzzi bathtub.
We had been unable to rent a car when we arrived and Valerie got on the phone right away to help us get it sorted. We got a rental car the next morning. She also provided a ton of restaurant recommendations, which we tried and all were delicious!
The breakfast in the mornings consisted of croissants, bread, fruit juice, tea or coffee. All were very good!
We didn’t try out the pool but it looked very clean and well-kept.
Overall a wonderful stay up on the quiet mountainside!
The property was beautifully maintained with a lovely eating area overlooking the ocean, surrounded by lush tropical garden and a pool to dip in to escape the heat. Rooms are spacious, lovely decorated and very comfortable king bed.
Best part on top of all this is the Hostess Valerie who makes you feel like family. Nothing is too much for her, and s beautiful breakfast daily available with other guests and Valerie felt like we were visiting friend rather than staying on our holidays.
Highly recommend, merci beaucoup Valerie.
What a beautiful place to land when flying into Papeete! Valerie the owner was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed at all times! Only wish we had booked a longer stay! The wonderful breakfast in the morning and quiet area with beautiful ocean views was fantastic! Was a little hard to find in the dark, but a wonderful home feel with good air conditioning, swimming pool daily breakfast and family charm!
Wonderful stay at Maison Tiana. Lovely room and facilities. Valerie was so welcoming and gave us great advice on things to do, where to eat and pearl shopping.

Home away from Home… Very nice place up in the hills with maginificient view and nicely decorated rooms. The couple that runs the place were super friendly and had a lot of good advices about where to go and what to do.
This is my second visit to Tahiti and my second time staying at Maison Taina. Valerie and Laurent are wonderful hosts. If you are looking for top notch hospitality and want to feel welcome, stay here. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was perfect for both my visits. It is worth the extra few minutes’ drive from the airport to Maison Taina! We will be coming back to FP and will definitely book with them again next time.
The owners were so incredibly helpful and friendly. Clean room, comfortable bed. Great view. Highly recommended. Will stay here again next time in Tahiti.
This was our favorite location on the island of Tahiti. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the lodging was very comfortable, with A/C, a very nice pool, and a lovely breakfast served by the host. It was probably the best value of any place we rented during our trip. If i ever return to Tahiti I will most definitely stay here!
What a wonderful place to land in Tahiti! The hosts were very nice and super helpful. The room was great, nice hot shower, great coffee and lovely breakfast. Highly recommend!
Everything was perfect, this host has really thought of everything and it had everything you needed to feel comfortable on vacation. It felt like a home away from home. We will be coming back.
Beautiful guesthouse in a great location to explore Tahiti. Breakfast was delicious and the host very helpful in providing local recommendations. Would love to come back!
The owners are so nice and accommodating. Their breakfast were delicious, too

Fresh croissants and fruit from the island for breakfast were delicious. Wonderful, kind hosts with fabulous recommendations for our time on the island. Loved every minute of our stay. Only wish it were longer. Such a peaceful and beautiful property.
The accomadations were fabulous. The host and hostess kind and welcoming. The pool was relaxing. I am giving it a 4 stars only because you could not walk anywhere. Every trip away was $40.00+ taxi fee, which adds up daily. I expected the accomadations to be more convenient and walkable.
We absolutely adored the guesthouse, the balcony, cool and cozy decorated rooms, the view, garden, pool and breakfast. We were met with nothing but smiles from Valerie and her family.
We wish we could have stayed longer.
This is a great place to stay; only 4 rooms, each slightly different, but with great facilities and views. Kitchen/dining room for use of guests is also a pleasant place to be. Great hosts who are good to talk to and share their experience of moving to Tahiti from France and their knowledge of their adopted home. A very special place indeed.
Incredible stay! The hosts were beyond accommodating and gave great local recommendations (plus cooked a delicious breakfast!) This beautiful property is situated nicely up a hill above the bustle below. I'd rather stay here than at any resort. Book a rental car, stay here, and explore the incredible island!
