"Perfect location to see all of Tahiti. We went to see surfing At Teahupo’o and stayed in this town with a grocery store and restaurants. Once the upstairs kitchen is complete it will be a perfect gem. "

Dive into the vibrant heart of island life at the bustling Papeete Market, where local flavors and crafts abound. Stroll along the waterfront Jardins de Paofai, soaking in ocean views and exploring the cultural displays.
Two hours is plenty to walk around and see the town hall, the market and the cathedral. Eat tuna! They have tons of it.

Papeete is the jump-off spot for everything in French Polynesian...a round the island drive and the Market are both must dos.

Busy streets and not walkable/bicycle worthy due to fast traffic and narrow streets without sidewalk/footpath area. Large hotel compounds best suited to travelers used to all amenities. Stunning views and humid.

"We had an amazing time here at Te Moana. The staff are more than accommodating and allowed us access to the property well before we checked in. Every day the property is filled with fresh flowers right from the grounds. It’s truly a breathtaking experience. Wonderful food and staff."
