Te Moana Tahiti Resort

That said, our ocean view, staring at Moorea, saved the room experience a bit. It’s a great pick for a short stay to get settled before the rest of your French Polynesia trip commences.

This is a nice resort with large rooms, a great poll and lagoon area and 2 beautiful little islands (motus) with bars and seating areas. So why only 3 Stats? Because there are several flaws with the resort. They knew we would be arriving early, they told us at 9am that the room was already empty, and that there was priority for making up our room. We waited 5 hours. We had booked a suite with breakfast: surprise, it included only breakfast for 1. we had to pay 40$ for an additional breakfast of medium quality. Tahiti is expensive. But we would expect value for money. The cocktails at the bar were 25$ and so bad that icewater has a better taste, the local beer was good and a real bargain for 13$ . The food was not exciting and not worth the price. In summary; a nice location, a nice resort but much room for improvement on the gastronomical side.

Hotel is a nightmare! Vastly expensive, old tired fit out (incl pool area) toilet broke twice, safe broke twice (waited 3 hours to get items out first time and they never came back the second time!) There are roosters roaming free all around the complex that cock loudly outside your window and will wake you at various times 3, 4, 5 am for 45 mins each time EVERYNIGHT! We stayed for 5 long days - we were exhausted after this trip. Certainly no relaxation. The hotel did offer to swop rooms but also advised they can be heard everywhere!?! Lots of guests around us with the same issue. Save yourself the hassle and book elsewhere - many hotels in a much better location too.

The hotel is a little old but very well-kept. The rooms were big and pleasant, and the beds were comfortable. We stayed here as a stopover before moving to the other islands. It is excellent for this as it is a short drive on the water, and they will keep your bags until your room is ready. Most flights get in around 6 AM. The pool area is lovely, but the pool needs the bottom repainted, which is why I did not give it five stars. The food was good, and the small bar on the motu was great!

My husband and I came to check this t Hotel out, previously called Manava Hotel & Resort. It’s been renamed for quite sometime per the front desk and still they haven’t updated this with Google or on any of Maps. It was VERY windy and had a lot if empty chairs which blocked a beautiful view, so imagine them being full of people. It was an un necessary amount of chairs especially when you’re not booked. We asked if we could see a room and have lunch, the front desk clerk got very flustered with this request to see a room. So we said we’d have lunch and come back, thinking they might be booked solid and waiting for check outs. The place was empty, pool had about 5 people around it, restaurant had mostly French speaking folks, I gather locals for lunch. We never got to see a room, that request was denied it was out of a norm for them. Very strange for a hotel. I ordered a Caesar with tuna hubby and Ahi burger. The salad arrived and looked great, lightly seared Ahi and a REAL Caesar dressing that tasted of anchovies. However, when I bit the tuna which was partially cooked it was rimmed in CURRY?! It tasted so bad. I just couldn’t reconcile the combination. There was one very busy waitress who didn’t come back to check on us so - I set the fish aside & only ate the salad, which was great! When came time to pay, I explained to the waitress about the fish and to please take the price of the fish off the cost of the check. SHE REFUSED to do it. I said I’ll talk to the manager, she grabbed the phone started calling someone. She was incredibly rude, stared, saying I shouldn’t have ordered the fish. (How was i to know it would be ?). While she was on the phone I kept trying to pay-paid the bill and went to the front desk to speak to the Manager. I encountered another rude front desk person. Asking WHY i needed to talk to the Manager, and to tell him the reason, the story, because “she doesn’t talk to just anyone”. (What?!) I told him it was none of his business I wanted to speak to her privately. She came out and pulled her aside, told her the story. She then said she had to talk to HER manager- are you kidding me?? Forget it, i told her we were considering staying at the hotel on our next trip to Tahiti, but this experience just made out decision for us. I thanked her for her time, i had paid the bill in full and assured her we would be telling everyone we knew about the experience we had. Rude staff Untrained in customer Service No decision making autonomy No understanding at all for how to deal with a simple situation.

The hotel is well situated, although 15kms from Papeete town it is in its own little oasis . Accommodation is a little tired and needs an update but nevertheless our stay was comfortable. Breakfast and Dinners both very enjoyable. The bars around the pool areas are pleasing .

Outside setting was marvelous, truly a resort where you could spend most of your time when on the island. Although been around for over 20 years and showing expected signs of depreciation, very clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent. Breakfast buffet is highly recommended, just be vigilant with the flies...

Breakfast buffet is highly recommended, just be vigilant with the flies as it’s out in the open.

Stunning hotel, excellent rooms and very friendly & helpful staff. The pool area is absolutely stunning, infinity pool and mini pier with a wonderful view of the island of moorea - I would definitely go back. Hotel is located 15 minutes outside of Papeete town. It can easily be reached by taxi but bear in mind taxi fares are around $28 each way. A regular bus service (bus number 20) operates near the hotel (5 mins walk) fares are $2.5 p/p each way - run every 30 minutes, but service terminates at around 7pm. Drinks and food at the hotel are expensive, you’re limited as there isn’t much in the way of restaurants and bars outside the hotel, whereas if you choose a hotel that is located in Papeete town there’s lot more choice and prices are more competitive. All in all I loved this hotel and would definitely recommend.

This “Resort” does have a beautiful view BUT the rooms, while spacious, are disgustingly dirty. Walls are covered with smears and smudges. The cream colored furniture is old and soiled. I don’t even want to sit on it. There were also roaches… Honestly, I have never stayed in a hotel...

We took advantage of Happy Hour at the bar. It was nice to sit out by the sea watching the sun set, drinking a cocktail. The restaurant was quite nice for dinner. Internet speed is really good!

The property is in need of a serious renovation. The infinity pool has cracks and portions missing in the bottom, the resort's exterior paint is old and dark with mildew, our room's (a mini suite) furniture fabric was dirty and stained, etc. The front desk service was unresponsive to room requests. That said, and not to be a Debbie-downer, the water front property is excellent and the resort is away from the hectic noise of Papeete; we had a great nights sleep.
