Paopao Holiday Rentals

"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."

"Beeakfast was awesome along with the pool side. Overall experience was better"

"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. "

"Well done!"

"Shower head holder is broken at my room (405). The moment I turn on the shower, the shower head start to violently swing at different directions, wetting the floor and towels. The sofa seats at the lobby are speared down with many cracks exposing sponges underneath "

"We loved our stay here. This is one of the only properties with direct beach access. We took the paddle boards and kayaks over the coral reef lagoon. We took amazing sunset pictures off the over the water bungalow docks. The restaurant had a busy night life “salsa night” on the last Sunday of the month which we got to be a part of. The pool is fantastic. The beds were so comfortable. I really enjoyed the stay "

"Was one of best hostels I've stayed in. Reception was staffed 24/7 with friendly, helpful people. Key card entry to floor, hallway & room. My private room had a double bed & a/c. The restrooms/showers are accessible, clean & private.The community area was clean, had comfortable seating, an espresso machine, teapot & fixings, microwave, water & ice."

"I loved everything about this hotel. Perfect! "

"Spacious room with king bed, sofa, table with 4 stools. 10 minute walk to middle of Pate'ete. Friendly helpful staff."
