The pool was great and clean , warm and inviting, sun lounge chairs were nice, air conditioning was working well and kept the room cool and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit needy for repairs, but was ok .The restaurant was perhaps lacking in English speaking staff as we had asked for tea 3 times over 45 minutes with our meal , and it seemed they either didn’t want to or understand what tea was or didn’t want to get it , we weren’t upset but it was off putting and we left , also warm beer isn’t good. Grounds were amazing and pretty , love the roosters for waking us up and not wasting the day away lol. All in all , we would go back and enjoy, thank you to the Royal Tahitian for a good nights stay

Garden like grounds filled with blooming plumeria. Excellent a/c, wifi, nice pool, and on the beach. (Note black sand beach). Negatives - $20 taxi to town. Not much around the hotel except two gas stations with food but no booze. Hotel bar a little pricey but cheaper than taxi. The hotel pushes the $33 morning breakfast but i had toast and coffee for $8 which was all that i wanted. TV is 100% french. Overall a bargain. The beautiful gardens and free range roosters made up for any shortcomings.

Great stay. Beautiful grounds, pool was prefect. We only stayed here one night on our way to Moorea. We loved the room although the bathroom is a little dated. The bed was super comfortable. My husband agreed we had a great night sleep, plus it was very quite. We would stay again.

Perfect wind down hotel after island hopping.

We stayed for 2 nights on the tail end of our island hopping and it was the perfect place to wind down in Papeete! Lots of parking, close enough to downtown area, great pool and beach setup as well as a nice lagoonarium. The room was very spacious for 4 and had a huge balcony.
