Royal Tahitien

The Royal Tahitien is a small, Polynesian hotel with a laid-back, mid-century modern, retro island and a tropical garden setting at the edge of a black-sand beach.

The simple, clean guest rooms are situated around the gardens and deliver excellent value.

All our resort accommodations were wonderful. We also spent three nights around Bora Bora on a catamaran operated by Tahiti Yacht Charter. Captain Hugo and his wife found awesome places to swim with sharks and sea life, and to snorkel. The food was amazing! All our transfers, pickups, guides and tours were top-notch. Highly recommend!

All of the details were meticulously handled by Tahiti.com. All of our transfers, tours and accommodations were handled seamlessly and we always knew everything was going to be on time. We stayed in huts over the water and they were lovely and had great A/C which was needed with the high humidity. There were lots of moving parts to our trip and Tahiti.com did not drop the ball once. We had a great experience and saw some wonderful shows and excursions and would definitely use Tahiti.com again!

She has extensive knowledge of the South Pacific, and she was able to guide us toward a top resort with a fantastic package including breakfast and dinner and a couples massage! She handled all of the airfare as well, and she even verified that our US flights that we booked would align appropriately with our international flights. Upon our arrival into Bora Bora, one of our suitcases was unfortunately lost, and I reached out to Candice who had the situation resolved within a few minutes, and my bag was put on the next flight over from Tahiti. Fantastic service! Highly recommend!

Le I couldn’t be happier about how perfect our honeymoon at Bora Bora was. Our agent, Lea not only curated our travel package (including 3 islands) but also included activities and recommendations based on our interests. Lea was very responsive on email making it so easy to get any assistance. We were stress free the entire trip because our travel, accommodation, meals, pick ups, drop offs, etc were all taken care of. A few other special mentions: 1. Nono and Tuki from Akivai Snorkeling Tour were great! They were so entertaining and shared so many interesting facts about the islands and historic stories. 2. The hospitality at Conrad Bora Bora was top notch. I am a vegetarian and was initially concerned about my meal options. However, the chefs at all the restaurants went out of their way to prepare dishes basis my preferences. This made me really happy because they put their guests first. Overall-fantastic trip and service! We are back with our hearts full.

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!!

Our Insights

The Royal Tahitien is a solid choice for budget accommodation near downtown Papeete. The rooms are simple and clean, with a retro-sixties style. We love the well-kept gardens and koi ponds, friendly, helpful staff and delightful restaurant. The black-sand beach is not really the best spot for swimming and lounging, but the sound of the waves certainly adds to the Polynesian ambience when sipping a well-mixed cocktail at the hotel bar.
