Hotels near Fa'a'ā International Airport - PPT, Papeete

Ideally situated half way between the port and the airport with free parking. This is an ideal base for someone coming off a cruise and looking to spend a few days exploring Tahiti. You can also walk to downtown Papeete in about 20 minutes. All the facilites you need fo cooking and having a comfortable relaxing stay.

Faaa itself is OK. It's the Royal room in the hills tgat was problematic.The room is not really as described. Seems it's run by someone else than the owner, possibly absentee house owner. Many people come and go from the Royal. One group came for a visit and occupied the terrace. They were polite and quiet but smoked, so no joining for us. The house cleaness is questionable and it appears there is more lodgers than the one the who sleep in the loft. Living room dingy with curtains closed and sofa. Underfurnished. The bedding feels cheap and polyester-like. Parking is a total headache on a narrow ledge. Finally someone came to move own car but with another motorcycle in the small place that was hardly useful. Dog poo was there, easy to step in. It's close to airport but there are nicer places to stay than here. Valley location was nice. Otherwise do not recommend this place. As to airport facility, it was easy to park a car at longterm to jump to another island for 2 days.

I would not suggest staying here Driveway to motel from street dangerous Large pot holes . Rocks Sharp turns Extremely steep. Owner was terrible she changed rules on us Threaten to call police if we did not stop making any noise Changed pool hours we could not make any noise at all after 6pm but did not stop people making noise at 7am in morning Food not good at all and very expensive Wifi was not very good only worked out side Pool was dirty Hot tub cold Shower not warm This place not worth staying here expensive and too many problems Only good thing was veiw

Perfect overnight before a flight. Picked up at airport. Great room with air-conditioning. Modern bathroom. Kitchen facilities. Great coffee maker. Dropped off promptly for early AM flight. Bonus outdoor space with spectacular view of airport and ocean.

We had a great room at the Te Moana Resort overlooking the restaurant /lagoon.This Resort is situated in a central location in the Punaauia area and off the main road so is very quiet.There is an excellent supermarket, Magasin Orohiti, just across the road and transient nightime food trucks in the carparks near the supermarket .We used both these facilities which were very good.There are also permanent food trucks a few hundred metres down the coast road towards town.These are of a superior standard and their Pizza's are to die for ,due I guess, to the use of fresh local and imported French igredients (cheese,salami,tomatoes,dough etc).We ate at the Cafe Maeva...in a word superb. There is a local bar about 500 metres up the road from Te Moana going away from town, The Captain Bligh. Jean Pierre is the welcome man there and a really nice guy.A 1.50 litre pitcher of beer is 1900 Francs.Cheap.It's over the water and had live music in three languages.A great atmosphere .We also did a half day tour around the island with Fabrice of Eden Tours.He is an ex Airforce man and very well organised as one would expect .Highly recommended.We also got a ferry to Moorea for half a day and strolled between the Ferry terminal and the bay around the nearby Marina.Again very good food trucks just beyond the Marina and We had a Tuna bagette at the KEKAHI truck.Yummy!!! After getting back from Moorea we wandered downtown and stumbled across The Bora Bora Lounge.It was playing Country and Western style music and we wandered in for a beer which ended up a session with locals.We stumbled out and wandered down to the taxi rank and got a ride back to the the resort.We were there for 7 days which was ideal.

When we arrived from the States, we took a taxi to Pepeete for proximity to the ferry terminal (we were headed to Moorea next day). Flying back from another island in FP a few weeks later, we stayed in Faaa since we would be flying back to the States the next day. Now we know, we'd stay in Faaa on both ends and taxi to the ferry terminal if we were planning to go to Moorea next.
