Independent hotels in Papeete, Windward Islands

"Gritty, port area. Nothing open late Saturday and Sunday. Not charming area in the least. Get out of town to an island ASAP."

"This hotel is perfect for the purpose. We had a one-night stay before continuing on through PPT for our trip home. The front desk arranged our taxi back to the airport and wake-up call very efficiently. One thing I wish I had done was arrange a van from the airport to the hotel - instead of paying for 2 taxis for my family of 5 + luggage. The hotel is clean and efficient. Be aware there are stairs before the elevator. Rooms are clean and comfortable. "

"Mid range luxury! Beautiful beach, infinity pool, jacuzzi in our suite"

"Sarah Nui is a nice budget hotel. Personnel are very nice. The Ferry Harbor is very close. Wi-fi did not work in the room but was fine in the lobby. Water in the shower was a bit cold. A good experience overall."

"I’m writing this review to complement the hotel staff. Everyone was so friendly and very helpful. They patiently answered all of our questions and didn’t laugh at our language efforts. The restaurant in the hotel was also delicious with warm staff. The only issue with the hotel is no beach but perfect if you need a place to stay by the ferry. "

"The grounds are verdant and well established. I loved all the birds, including the chickens. Beautiful flowers fall from the trees. It is paradise remembered. Yes, it is old, but with such a wonderful staff, you feel that this is the right place to relax and renew."

"A modern hotel at the entrance to Cooks Bay – a beautiful fjord of the tropics. The aircon and wifi work very well, the restaurant is excellent and occupies a picturesque waterfront spot, and the kitchenette (with induction hobs) is very helpful, a supermarket is within a 12 minute walk. A new spa opened across the road (Maison Baia) and the 1.5 hour Polynesian massage experience was truly excellent. For diving, Nemoz dive centre may be able to offer pick-ups from the hotel.
