Hotel Tahiti Nui

I arrived a bit nervous after reading some poor reviews - unfortunately they were accurate. This hotel is definitely not up to the claimed 4 star rating. It is on a very busy road next to a petrol station. Rooms facing the road are unbearably noisy. The corridors are dark and at night we needed a torch to use our room key. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms are quite spacious. The rooms are however let down by the brown colour scheme which adds to the depressing feeling of the hotel. The bathroom was spacious but the shower had no water power and there is no door so the shower splashes all over the floor. Breakfast is expensive but decent. There are a lot of little things that let the hotel down - impossible to find power points (under the bedside table!), no USB charging points, pathetic wifi, instant coffee provided but no milk or sugar.

This place is very tired and needs a full makeover Not too far from the main ship and ferry terminal which is a plus Located on a busy noisy road in the not so nice end of town Pool looks a lot better & longer in picture than in reality Would not have picked it, but we had no choice as it was part of a cruise/airfare deal, so you get what you get

The hotel was very nice and the location was good. The room was beautful, very clean and spacious. However, I booked an upgraded room for the view. We arrived on a late flight and was extremely disappointed in the morning not to have a view of the ocean but rather a view of a construction sight. This should have been advised. All staff were very polite.

Stayed here as part of a package deal from Australia. We had paid to upgrade to a mountain view room on first night pre cruise as had read the reviews . Mountain view room is away from the main road so that is better as quiet compared to those rooms on the busy main rd. It was twin beds and although a couple, worth it. Large room but small fridge dirty inside and not very cold. No milk or mild powder provided but a kettle coffee sachets / tea bags. Pool is used for aqua aerobics with about 12 bikes sitting in the water so really had to move out of the pool for that . Post cruise supplier made a mistake and our junior suite room was cancelled by them so after cruise no room available but got upgraded to executive suite at no charge after pushed for help at reception. It was a 2 bedroom unit upstairs with shower and bath in 2nd. Third toilet downstairs and kitchen and dining table and sitting area and large balcony . Oven to heat up croissants tripped the lights but staff quick to respond. Hotel needs lots of restoration of paint and touching up of wooden beams and the wooden balcony chairs, concrete cracks noted on outside of building. Next door is petrol station with nice bakery items and drinks ect Also pizza place across the road but one further down on hotel side looked better with great deal. Cruise ship was short 6 min walk and not worth a taxi fare that others paid. Booked hotel restaurant as menu looked good but expensive as per Tahiti in general but waited ages to get recognised. Saw others sat down to order after us so walked out . Breakfast cheaper along promenade venues so went there rather. Booked an activity from reception but cheaper if book via internet. If looking for tropical experience then stay elsewhere on the water and rather head for the islands nearby,luckily we did a cruise.

The hotel location is very good. The facilities were pretty good as well. The reception/management is sub par. They will give you the classical French treatment of I don’t care what you think you need. You are better not asking reception for anything unless you like being frustrated. We were treated rudely! The hotel is on an incredibly busy road that is quite loud, 24/7. The bed was way too soft and actually hurt my back. No free breakfast, which you usually get in other hotels. There was also some serious mildew in the shower and the shower leaked into the next room. This hotel is NOT a resort and yet they charge a resort fee. If you want a real resort, you want to be on the water not in the middle of a so so looking downtown area. The hotel worked for us for two days, but we will not return to this location when we return to Tahiti. We found much better on the water.

The only thing going for this Hotel is the close proximity to the Port being within walking distance to the Cruise Ship Terminal. It is not cheap and services are nil ! We even had to pay for some milk for our coffee that was in the room ! Restaurant is also expensive. The rooms are extremely noisy at night definitely no double glazing on windows it is as if windows are wide open they are large rooms ,no water replaced after first night ! The Hotel is very tired and needs a lot of work done to justify the prices charged !
