Hotels near Marina Taina

"We stayed on the second floor closest to the over water bungalows. The room was average to good, but unfortunately a pipe burst apparently somewhere so they shut off the water for two hours mid-morning without informing us. Thankfully no one was taking a shower or doing a number 2. There also was construction noise on the grounds to repair the pipe which woke us up early the first morning. The building next to us is undergoing a complete gutting and reno, but we didn't hear any noise from that direction. It does look a little worrisome at first when you pass by it as there's plywood boarding up areas and open doorways. It's not what we expected from a $1000/nite hotel I guess. There are convenient shuttles available to take you to and from your room if needed, but you smell the exhaust riding in the back. Staff were generally pleasant. The view from our room was good of the pool, Moorea, and construction grader. The lagoon was very nice and full of fish swimming about. The buffet and dance show was good. Proximity to the airport and cruise port is nice. The Lotus Michelin restaurant is good but a bit pricey. Overall there's not many luxury hotels right on the water in town, and with Tahiti's popularity I guess they can charge a premium for that. In hindsight maybe staying elsewhere and just getting a day pass at the Intercontinental probably would have been equally as fine."

"We were told it was a straight 5 minute walk from RFP to the motel, but the motel 's car gates were locked and the receptionist didn't have a key! So we had to hike up and around a hill in the dark to get there. $12USD breakfast was coffee, juice, a croissant and cereal. Meh. Bed was adequate, room was clean, and AC worked. "

"Staff was excellent!"

"Absolutely do NOT book this apartment!! My original email had issues and I was not receiving any messages about the rental. I sent the landlord two emails with my updated email address, and I called countless times, leaving multiple voicemails. I also left messages through Hotel.com and their app, yet the landlord never answered calls, never responded to emails, and never replied to any messages. I even waited outside the apartment for hours, only to finally have to book a hotel at the last minute. Not only did I lose long-distance phone charges, but I also lost precious travel time and spent a significant amount of time on the phone with Hotel.com, all to be told in the end that they would NOT refund me. I am strongly warning everyone: do NOT book this apartment. The location is hard to find and easy to get lost. There is no responsible person in charge at all. I also strongly advise against using Hotel.com to book accommodations — they are extremely irresponsible and completely pass the buck. I am incredibly, extremely disappointed! "
