"The Tahiti Lagoon is an airy hotel with many Tahitian features including the impressive lobby. Staff are very pleasant and interact. Room size in the main hotel (can’t speak for huts over the sea) is good, proper European bathtubs. Beds and bedding extremely comfortable.
Pool is shallow but large, although looking a bit dated and in need of TLC. There’s a general air of “almost …. room for improvement”.
Breakfast adequate but not inspiring.
Beach area is good, beach bar has a relaxing vibe, especially after sunset. The sea is clean, warm, good for snorkelling (gear provided free).
At least two flights a day arrive from LAX before dawn yet the hotel seems unable to accommodate early check-ins, with reception staff rigidly insisting 3pm earliest. This is clearly nonsense - when we stayed Tahiti Lagoon had about 50% occupancy, so rooms were certainly available. But “computer said no” - if you arrive at 6am you’re expected to stick around in your sweaty travel clothes for another 9 hours. Miraculously the manager let us check in at noon, but this seems to be an increasing trend of hotels not to release rooms for early guests as soon as they arrive because “it’s policy”. It’s not hard! Asian hotels understand early flights and never pretend there’s a problem checking in immediately guests arrive. (Of note - our flight crew arrived shortly after us ….and all went to their rooms immediately!). One rule for them…
Overall a nice laid back tropical hotel, but overpriced."
