Climb the historic Pointe Venus Lighthouse for sweeping views where Captain Cook once observed Venus crossing the sun. Sink your toes into the dramatic black sand at Point Venus Beach before hiking toward the towering silhouette of Mt. Orohena.
We came to Papeete for a couple of days before heading to Moorea Island to take a tour.
This Hilton is perfectly located. Around 7 min drive from the airport and 8 min away grom downtown Papeete and the ferry.
It is located next to a shopping mall and connected through a bridge. You have dining options supermarket and a few other stores.
Staff is extremely nice and with an outstanding customer service that goes above and beyond.
For our next trip we will definitwly stay here again....

We really liked this resort. The rooms are very big, modern, and clean. The view is breathtaking, the staff are very nice and helpful. We liked the food at the restaurant too, they also have Polynesian dancing on Thursdays and Saturday nights which we enjoyed. This resort is quiet, and the pool was not crowded which I really liked. We stayed at another resort on our way back going home later in our trip and it was the same price as this place but not as nice at all. I definitely recommend this...

Excellent location. Entire facility looks new and clean. Given our 5am airline arrival, we really appreciated a very early check-in, which was not expected but really made our jet leg day!

Super kind and helpful staff. Excellent morning breakfast buffet, lovely room with a great view of Moorea and the pool areas are very special with the ocean water integrated into the space to create unique places to swim and even snorkel.

nice hotel, great staff. Some condition issues. We weren't able to get a key card for our room and had to be escorted up to get in our room. No hot water at first; then ONLY boiling hot water ... not great for showering or brushing teeth or most anything. When we reported it, they moved us next door into a suite from a standard room.
But the front desk (especially Melodie) solved our problems and helped us with our computer issues, always with a smile. Eventually we got keys for our suite....

Absolutely beautiful relaxing property for our last night waiting on a late flight. The pool and room was very clean. Cool air conditioning. They even packed our dinner to go that we ordered. The only issue we had was our little rental car had trouble getting up the steep drive up the mountain. The view at the top was Absolutely worth it. Parking was tight not a big deal. Loved this hotel, wish we would've had more time to stay longer.

We used this as a place to stay before out late flight out of Tahiti. It worked perfectly. We had a nice bed to rest on, a safe place to store our things while we explored, and a good bathroom to clean up in before our flight. I would certainly book here again for this same purpose.

We had a quick overnight here and could not have been happier. Quiet, convenient and comfortable. Very good price. No restaurants nearby but we arrived after dinner so it was fine. Take other reviewers advice and don’t try and walk here!

It was still new as it had only opened for operations a few months before. To be honest I loved how not full it was and being able to enjoy the peace and beauty of it all. I believe we travels there at a great time to soak it all up.

We did alot of research and read reviews before selecting Sofitel. So glad we did. We had an all over wonderful experience. Rooms were beautiful comfortable and well done, we had all we needed and more. The property is beautiful the Coral gardens and lagoon is fabulous. We enjoyed snorkeling, with all kinds of stunning tropical fish. The beach is best on island there. The food was great, we loved K and Pure both. Breakfast is worth it and what a view. Bar view is great and drinks and burgers...

The people at Tea Tahiti Holidays are welcoming and accommodating. I sat in the shade near mango, plumeria, and papaya trees, beside a refreshing pool, and chatted briefly with other guests.
The owner told me where to find food and offered to drive me to the airport when I leave for less than a taxi.
I had my own table and chairs in the shade, where I ate and read.
