Best Hotels near Museum of Tahiti and The Islands, Punaauia

On our way to Moorea, we stopped over at the Hilton Tahiti for a couple of days. But those couple of days ended up being a lovely mini-vacation in itself. This property is exquisite because of its location and because it is very well managed. Usually we prefer an upper floor location, but upon checking-in, the very friendly front desk agent, Here, responded to our request for a ”quiet” room with a lovely ground-floor location with a large patio overlooking the flowering gardens and the ocean. Exquisite! The room was very clean, very comfortable and very quiet. (Veryx3!) It was also well designed and thoughtful in its detailing. Breakfast was served in the main restaurant and as Diamond members, we had a reserved window table each morning overlooking the water and the colorful inhabitants. What a thoughtful and simple touch that goes a long way in recognizing Hilton loyalty, and we noticed more of those simple yet graceful touches demonstrated by the staff during our stay. It seems that this property, like most hotels on the island of Tahiti, is used as a launching pad for guests to travel to the other islands and also as a stop on their way home while waiting for a red-eye flight out of PPT. Because of that, there are always a number of people and groups coming and going at all times. And this hotel handles it beautifully. While some properties might show their strain under such pressure, the Hilton actually shines brighter by being able to treat each guest with the wonderful hospitality and friendliness that graces all of French Polynesia. Māuruuru Hilton Tahiti for a marvelous introduction to the beauty of this lovely paradise!

This hotel is very close to the airport, the hotel can drop off the airport, charges are required. It's about 1500 francs and it only takes 6 minutes to get to the airport. The hotel has a show for breakfast and dinner, and it is still worth seeing. The French restaurant is pretty good.

Check in and our room were fine. The biggest problems were at the bar and restaurant. At the poolside bar, they never came back asking for refills. Had a hard time getting bar tenders' attention. When we finally asked for refills after waiting for 20 minutes, they gave us bills to be signed before serving us drinks. When they asked us to sign the bill, we said we wouldn't unless they give us the drinks we ordered. This went on for three refills. We finally got fed up and left for the restaurant. We did not have a reservation (just two people) and they simply said ”no seating without a reservation”. The front desk never suggested it nor the restaurant staff checking to see any openings at different time slot. This was our last night of our vacation and we were looking forward to a nice final dinner and drinks. But instead, we had to leave with a bitter taste in our mouth. Very disappointed.

The hotel's address is just above the small slope opposite Faa'a Airport. It's really steep. We have two big suitcases, a small suitcase, two backpacks, three or four bags, and we don't know how to move them. Too much baggage is really not recommended to live here. There is a sea-Chinese restaurant near the hotel, and you will have a super-satisfaction before returning home. Hotel health is still very clean, suitable for early morning flights and do not want to be too tossed.

Huge room but space not used efficiently. Bathtub was not properly secured. And shower was inside bathtub. The toilet bidet has to be turned off else it will leak. Location was right in front of the ferry terminal.

My husband and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and found it delightful. The staff in the hotel were very helpful and extremely kind when our checked in luggage was delayed at the airport. I read the reviews prior to staying here and one or two stated that the decor in the rooms is dated. I really have to disagree - this gives the impression that it looks tired, but the furniture and decor is all in extremely good condition and spotlessly clean. The bed is the most comfortable we have ever slept in! We enjoyed some delicious meals in the restaurant which appeared to be very popular with local people for a special evening out. We particularly loved the grounds of the hotel - they are beautiful with lush vegetation and are very well maintained. If you do not like the black sand on the beach, then the hotel's swimming pool is the perfect alternative. I would thoroughly recommmend this hotel and the lovely people who work to make it a special place.

Wanted to see about staying a few extra hours in hotel and willing to pay for the 4 extra hours I had a medical issue that I need to test a few hours before getting on plane. Willing to pay the $60 to stay a few more hours and was told $60 was only for two hours that to stay the extra 4?hours would be a full night charges. The hotel with out a heart

Loved loved loved this place - Interiors in white..spacious ...doors can be slid open to accommodate the lovely weather and scenery that this hotel has the privilege to have at this location - excellent pool , great drinks and food at the bar! The tropical cololred fish that come up right by the walkway at low tide and every morning and night ..a private beach, wonderful music, great service! The kindness and generosity of the staff was icing on the cake...Yes I'm in san francisco..but I truly left my heart at Cooks Bay in Moorea! Thank you to Brian, Melea, Maria, Gladys, Silvanu!! You made this trip extra special! The hotel is located very close to Maharepa the little commercial center of Moorea - very convenient for picking up food stuff, or needs at the supermarket. Allo Pizza ,,delicious french polynesian twists on the pizza ..so close to the hotel! The jetty for picks ups for whalewatching, snorkelling and island tours land and sea is very conveniently located right near the hotel..you can just walk to the jetty and take your boat to the tour. The decor is beautiful - the price just right!... I would give this place 10 stars!
