Quite a long walk into town unless you can catch the bus but hard to tell when they are coming! Would suggest renting a car. No porters to help with bags on arrival/departure and no lamps on the pathways to see your way to your room at night. WiFi connection is terrible.

Beautiful grounds, lovely staff. The pool and views are very nice.

Their booking.com website. (Your website) unlike all the other hotels I’ve booked through booking.com, this one isn’t very good. Confusion about twin or double bed. Is breakfast included? Can you pay extra if you want breakfast included. They offer an airport transfer for a fee. I tried 3 times to book it. Provide flight details time of arrival etc. Only response each time was . We are very busy, we will get back to you. They never did….until I contacted them to say I don’t want the transfer. Immediate response . It’s not too late to book!!!

Huge grounds, beautiful swimming pool, big room,

Location, a little further than I expected plus it was a Sunday so transport + town & restaurants opening hours minimal.

We requested a ground floor room due to a very late arrival & not wanting to carry suitcases upstairs. Room was large with a kitchenette plus outdoor seating. Air con worked however due to high humidity it needs time. Pictures on site as per our room. Restaurant overlooks the water. Tania the maitre’d & her staff friendly & helpful. Enjoyed our food plus drinks. Breakfast as stated a little pricey for what is offered however enjoyable. Small shop with limited supplies a 5 minute walk from Hotel. We enjoyed the pool & gardens. Location requires transport to town. On Sundays shopping hours minimal. Hotel Staff friendly & helpful

The rooms could do with a more colourful paint / theme which would vastly improve their appearance.

The Hotel was super clean and the pool was a bonus to relax by. The food in the restaurant was very good and the staff were very friendly. It was good value for money.

Restaurant was expensive, food was so so. Staff overly concerned about return of a cup. Valentines buffet was not impressive. Event didn't include what was advertised.

Reception, friendliness of staff

Stayed in February 2025

We flew in late ie 11:00pm , so was worried re the reception , but it was good and there was no drama .

Way above expections , for a quiet out of town sort of Hotel , loved the restaurant and out look , and generally peaceful atmosphere. The drive into the town was not far , and so kept us in Papeete.

The room was rather tired

The position

Stayed in January 2025

Long way from front desk, pulling suitcase. Front desk unable to change Australian dollars, and offered no solution. Fellow guest told us to use the ATM at the service station close by. Not good customer service.

Pool, room

Stayed in December 2024

We checked in late at night after using booking.com to get the room. The desk clerk checked the person just before us in very quickly but had a lot of trouble figuring out how to check in someone who used a third party service. She had to make a phone call and even then it took her over half an hour to get us checked in. The pool looked a little murky also. Other than this, I have no complaints. This is a very good value for Tahiti; our room was large and very clean and comfy; the staff were friendly; the grounds are pretty.

The Royal Tahitien exceeded my expectations. We had a huge, comfortable, very clean room with good A/C and a pleasant view of the gardens and a private patio. Excellent value for dollar. I did not try the restaurant but I thought the menu was excellent. Hanging out by the pool was pleasant. I would stay here again.

Roosters waking you at 5.15am; restaurant area had no overhead fans whereas drinking/entertainment area did; shower roses in bathroom were fixed height and became an issue for anyone taller than 4ft 6 inches; restaurant staff weren't overly attentive (couldn't seem to get their attention for ordering)

Lovely gardens; room was spacious

Stayed in September 2024

Sliding glass door was very very hard to open to get onto the patio. The waterfalls at the pool no longer work.

Old world charm. The grounds are lovely with all the trees and bushes. The buildings are positioned so everyone has a view but from your patio you don't see into anyone else's room. Pool was very nice.

Stayed in September 2024

The restaurant at the pool should be open during the day

The rooms were large and comfortable with a full kitchen.

Nice location close to the city but still very quiet. Facility and rooms were clean, and the restaurant was wonderful.

The bathroom and surely the shower could be upgraded.

Rooms are large and well kept. Poolarea is really nice. Location by the beach is nice. The restaurant is ok. Breakfast is ok.

Restaurant hours and expensive.

Pool. Garden area. Clean room. Comfortable bed.

Roosters waking us up every morming beginning at 330 am was completely unaceptable for people on vacation. Old brown towels in the bathroom need to chamged to white.

Nice pool and location on the beach

No free breakfast included

I’m giving this a five star review in the context of this being a three star hotel but is really bordering on being a four star. It’s in amazing location with plenty of car parking space, in fact you can park in front of your apartments and has everything you need for a nice stay in a well priced (relatively as everything in Tahiti is expensive) resort with a restaurant, bar, swimming pool and exclusive access to a beach (which is a one minute walk from here). The staff were helpful and the best thing was that this is only a 30 minute walk to the centre of Papeete and there are various buses on the main road. I would recommend!

Uncomfortable bed

I was charged an additional 14500 French Polynesian Francs when I checked in . I understood that the amount I paid Booking.com was not enough to cover the cost of the room

The location was lovely though hard to find even with a GPS
