Tikehau

Relais Royal Tikehau

Relais Royal Tikehau is a quaint family-owned B&B-style lodge located on a private motu that is just a 5-minute boat ride away from the airport. This intimate Tikehau retreat features only nine bungalows and provides an immersive Polynesian experience for all guests. Surrounded by a small channel and a white and pink sand beach looking out to the lagoon, the views at every turn are absolutely stunning. 

The bungalows are traditional in design with bright colors, coral shell accents and thatched roofs. Meals are enjoyed in an open-air setting and feature freshly caught seafood and local ingredients and a live band sets the ambience each evening. Activities abound that allow you to explore the beautiful surrounding environment. But perhaps the most memorable part of a stay at Relais Royal Tikehau is the joy and warm Polynesian hospitality that embraces you from arrival to departure.

I travel to Tahiti every single year. Candice was absolutely amazing, She heard every single concern I had, with impeccable, patience and understanding. We took two nights in Papeete And four nights in Le Tikehau. Both hotels, were absolutely wonderful, especially that she upgraded us in Papeete. Out of her own, she added the transit stay on the last day with dinner at the hotel. Highly recommend Tahiti.com company for travel, Ask for Candice. You won’t find anything like this out there.

Our accommodations at Pearl Resorts Taha were amazing , better even than we saw on video. The Resort feels like a private island and the personnel could not be friendlier and more accommodating ! Thank you Amelia and Tahiti.com!

Candice at Tahiti.com worked very hard to provide an incredible trip to Tikehau for my husband and me. I travel a lot and only once before used a travel agent. We landed in Papeete at 5:30 AM on December 6th and Candice Candice at Tahiti.com worked very hard to provide an incredible trip to Tikehau for my husband and me. I travel a lot and only once before used a travel agent. We landed in Papeete at 5:30 AM on December 6th and Candice had booked the Pearl Resort the night prior so we would have a place to relax before our flight on Tahiti Air at 2 in the afternoon. At 9:30 I got an email from Tahiti Air that they changed our flight to December 20th. It turns out that there was a strike and Tahiti air could not fly to Tikehau. I called Candace immediately and within an hour she had us booked on Moana Air to Rangiroa. She booked a beautiful resort, Kia Ora, and by 2:30 PM we were on this beautiful island and staying in a beautiful resort. What could have been stressful and a total hassle turned into a smooth change of plans expertly handled! I highly recommend Candace and Tahiti.com!!

It was a great experience working with Tahiti.com agents for our Bora Bora trip. The might we arrived at Tahiti, on the way to hotel, we realized the next day's flight to Bora Bora was too early and didn't leave us time It was a great experience working with Tahiti.com agents for our Bora Bora trip. The might we arrived at Tahiti, on the way to hotel, we realized the next day's flight to Bora Bora was too early and didn't leave us time to explore this island. We emailed the agent that booked us the trip, but seems they are not working on weekends. Then we reached out to the emergency contact phone line. After some text exchanges, they said it's not possible to change the flight at night, but they'll try that when the system opens 8am the next day. And next day a bit after 8am, they texted to let me know the flight has been changed to the afternoon, that gave us a few hours to explore Tahiti island. We appreciated this flexibility a lot! We went there the week before Thanksgiving. Seems like it's off-season. We got pretty empty flights from SFO to PPT and back, where even though it's an 8-hour flight, everybody could actually pick a row to lie down and rest if they wanted to. :) Also some of the excursions we booked turned out almost like private tours, where we are the only couple on the boat. The weather turned out nice too. It only rained for a while on two of those days. Most other times it was cloudy or sunny, no rain to spoil the fun.

Our agent Candice was there to help answer questions from start to finish, and even when something arose during our trip! She was extremely responsive and helpful in all of our communications. All the details were taken care of, including transportation arrangement from airport/hotel as well as inter island, which made for an stress-free and enjoyable vacation. Tahiti.com was very easy to work with. Highly recommend their services!

Joe was our agent and he helped us plan a truly perfect trip! The hotels were astounding, all of our transfers were taken care of, and the Tahiti.com rep who met us at the airport was very helpful. We had many questions throughout the planning process - and even during our tip! - and Joe was extremely responsive and helpful. We ended up splitting our trip between Mo'orea and Bora Bora; both islands were incredible. I highly recommend planning a trip to French Polynesia and booking it through Tahiti.com!

My husband and I took the plunge and made our “Dream Vacation” to French Polynesia happen in September ‘24. Amalia helped to make our 25th anniversary vacay perfect! Beginning with my very first contact through Tahiti.co My husband and I took the plunge and made our “Dream Vacation” to French Polynesia happen in September ‘24. Amalia helped to make our 25th anniversary vacay perfect! Beginning with my very first contact through Tahiti.com website… all the way through to a follow up email after our return letting us know that she secured a refund for an excursion that we cancelled without the required notice, the communication was thorough and on point. That “surprise” refund was above and beyond in my book. Our adventure jncluded multiple islands, airplane transfers, ferry transfers, private and group transfers, tours, a 3 night yacht charter, two separate resort stays, dinner reservations and other local “must dos”. We had no issues AT ALL during our trip.. all reservations and transfers went without a hitch! I highly recommend leaving the planning to the experts at Tahiti.com. If Amalia handles the details, you will not be disappointed!

They arranged everything from our flights to hotels to excursions. Candice even found us a whale watching tour that wasn’t part of the initial package and easily moved some things around. Our pick up and drop off transportation was seamless. Their prices were comparable (sometimes a little lower) when compared to other companies we researched. Our honeymoon was incredible!
