Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts

Lovely suite overlooking black sand beach. The property is well landscaped and maintained. The pool area is very good. The black sand beach on the property is beautiful - definitely a selling point. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. The property itself is a bit dated. The gym definitely needs an upgrade. Had a couple of meals at the property which were fine. Many more options off site.

Loved the view from our room! Our room was located a bit away from the reception/pool area but we had a rental car. The staff are great! The rooms are ok - need more basic things in the kitchen, but there was plenty of room to move around. Would stay here again. Mauruuru.

Upon arrival, the staff was extremely welcoming and kind. Our room and the view were beautiful. The only minor complaint is that our booking mentioned a mini fridge, but there wasn’t one in the room. When I asked the front desk, they explained they were waiting on a shipment and had none available. Since we stayed for eight nights, it was challenging to manage without a fridge, so we had to purchase an ice chest to keep our drinks cold. I highly recommend booking taxi rides in advance through the front desk if you plan to go out and about. We often waited between 45 minutes to an hour for taxis. The hotel only provides one bottle of water per day, and the drinking fountains were broken. However, the hotel restaurant was kind enough to fill up our bottles when we asked. The hotel itself is very nice, though it could use some upgrades. The pool, for instance, looks a bit outdated and needs some maintenance, though it was kept very clean. If you don’t get a room with laundry machines, there is only laundry service which is very expensive. The food at both the main restaurant and the bar was excellent! I also recommend exploring other islands like Moorea and Bora Bora instead of staying just in Tahiti. If you are like us and have a late departure home, the late checkout is based upon availability. So, you could find yourself having to checkout at 11 and stuck waiting around. The airport is small. The locals are incredibly friendly, and overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Good for a couple of nights We stayed here after a 15 day cruise. On a positive start, the front desk staff was amazing! We forgot an adapter and they found us one for my husband's cpap. The pool area was beautiful except the hot tub was dirty and out of order. Our room on the 5th floor in building 3 was 2 story with spectacular floor to ceiling windows on both floors. You can't beat the view. One problem the shears were missing so choice is black out curtains or hot afternoon sun beating in, however, each night the sunsets were spectacular. Hot water was iffy every late afternoon early evening. There is a place for a refrigerator, but it was ripped out and I was told they did that because they had problems with the mini bar. I think it's because they have an ant infestation and didn't want food in rooms. Or maybe so you had to keep buying their food. Some of the food was good some was not. It was hit or miss and the same thing with the service for food and drinks. Lots of free entertainment that was enjoyable. We booked a snorkel trip through the activities people in the boutique, and it was the best snorkeling we've ever done. The free bus ride to and from Papeete was entertaining with the whole bus singing with our driver. There is no where to eat nearby, so you're options are limited. We had leftover pizza and they charged us $2.50 for a box to take it to room! If you need a place to land before or after a flight or cruise it's a good option for a couple of days. Easy cab to airport.

Lack of a refrigerator and ice machines made keeping drinks cold difficult. Also no nearby convenience stores meant buying all beverages at the hotel. Very expensive.
