Beautiful 5br Villa with pool; amazing views
Amazing stay with flexible and communicative host!

Beach Side Duplex
This place was more than we could have imagined. The views are breathtaking and the space is very private. The host was attentive and responded quickly. We decided to book for the rest of our stay after spending just 5 minutes at this location. 😍 the geckos at night make for some pretty cute neighbors too.

TEREI Bungalow
Accommodation located close to the airport, here was at the top to welcome us and meet our needs, we will return to this accommodation if we return to Tahiti!

House by the Vaiava Beach
We loved our stay! The pool was wonderful. The snorkeling was amazing and literally out the back door. Our 6 and 8 year olds were able to enjoy chasing fish and playing with crabs in the shallows. There are markers out in the coral reef indicating the coral trail. This is some of the biggest and most elaborate coral I have ever seen. We saw giant sea anemones, I’ve never seen anything like it! The paddle board was nice to take out snorkeling with kids so they had a place to rest if needed. Most of the property has been remodeled and is very modern, the exception being the powder room. The kitchen opens to the back area with barstools at the counter, we ate here most of the time. The doors open in front and back letting a nice breeze blow through. Be prepared for mosquitos because, remember where you are. Amazing fenced in outdoor space for kids to roam and mango tree in the front. Henri accommodated our early arrival. Some noise from public park next door, not bad.

Large 5-bedroom villa – Beachfront
A superb place to stay. Quite a way from the airport so be prepared for expensive taxis. The location is right in the beach and the sound of the waves is exhilarating. Only downside was the traffic noise and maybe could do with a couple more fans? Otherwise amazing. Would stay again. Many thanks !

Enjoy Camanukea Lodge
The villa is spacious (indoor and outdoor), beautifully decorated, perfectly equipped, very clean and well secured. The view of the lagoon is beautiful and the sunset is superb. Manu is very nice, responsive and flexible on the departure schedule. Note: a vehicle is necessary to come and go because the neighborhood is high and set back from the main road. Just one small inconvenience: passing hens and roosters leave a few droppings here and there on the terrace. I would recommend this beautiful place.

bungalow 2min from airport
Great place to stay for my first day in Tahiti! Very much enjoyed my time and grateful for the host for assisting with pick up and drop offs. Highly recommend!

Taapuna guesthouse
We had a delightful visit. It is spacious with a beautiful view. The pool was perfect for our first transition day. Snorkeling and diving nearby were great.
