"Maison Taina is located in the hills above Papeete. It is an attractive two storey property that catches refreshing breezes and has fabulous views of the reef. Accessing the rooms upstairs for people with limited mobility could be an issue but there was plenty of help for me with suitcases.You definitely need a car to access food from stores, restaurants etc that are close by but not within walking distance or you need to stock up on food supplies before you get to the property. A taxi fare from the port to the property cost US $30.00.From the property to the airport US$50.00. My room and bathroom were spacious and featured a balcony with outdoor seating.Valerie was very happy to provide anything needed. The breakfast was served in the pool house which is there for the guests to use. It has a large fridge for guests' food, filtered water, a dining table and chairs and even fresh free bananas from the garden. Breakfast is served here every morning consisting of fresh fruit and delicious pastries and wonderful, authentic, french coffee. Wine is also available to purchase. The pool is refreshing and maintained to a high level.I really enjoyed my stay here due to Valerie's friendliness and helpfulness and the opportunity to meet other guests in the other three rooms. A great base for sightseeing in Tahiti or for me a lovely place to just relax after a cruise and before a flight home.Thank you so much to Valerie and her lovely family for looking after me so well.

"Our room was spectacular. Everyone was super nice. We loved the food and took advantage of room service every day. Cocktails are expensive, but beer and wine were reasonable for resort prices. We would definitely stay again. The black beach was so beautiful as well."

"The place was a wonderful property. Magnificent grounds and room ."

"This was the perfect home for our stay. We had a nice welcome with fresh flowers in every room! We had privacy, lots of room to spread out, access to a beach, and it was close enough to Carrfour for our errands. It was so nice to have Toimata and Vatea nearby. Mauruuru roa"
