“Exceptional Service”
Hotel is beautiful and service was exceptional. During our trip we decided to go to Bora Bora for at least one day , we had already booked our entire stay in Le Meridien Tahiti. The hotel was able to exchange part of our hotel night in Tahiti to Le Meriden Bora Bora saving us some money. On our last day, I I wanted to purchase a bracelet made by a well known designer Rereata, however, the bracelet was too short in length. To my surprise the hotel manager knew the designer and had her customize a bracelet specially for me and had it delivered to the hotel at no additional fee well in time before our departure! I would recommended this hotel if you are looking for nothing but the best customer service. Something to keep in mind when traveling to TAHITI and BORA BORA is that be ready to spend money!
“Amazing holiday!”
We had an amazing vacation staying at this resort for a week in a bungalow. The room was cleaned promptly everyday, the stuff is very friendly and ready to answer any questions. They even checked on us after we had a day trip to another island to see if we were ok. Nice touch! If Tahiti wasn't so far away I would definitely return soon again. :)
“Le Meridien Tahiti was perfect!”
Le Meridien Tahiti was wonderful! All the staff were extremely gracious and very helpful, from the front desk staff to the pool staff. I have never felt so welcome at a hotel. The daily aqua gym (water aerobics) and yoga at sunset sessions were terrific. Snorkels, fins, and kayaks are available to borrow. The pool and beach were lovely. Other people at the hotel were friendly. The room's balcony had a great view of the property and the ocean. The room was perfect ly outfitted and very quiet. It was a vacation in paradise, in part because of the great hotel.
“Excellent”
This hotel was excellent in every way location, meals, service, the only complaint was dogs in surrounding neighbourhood barked through the night.

“The Best Part of our Vacation”
We stayed here after our 12 day Honolulu to Tahiti cruise and our 4 day stay in the over water bungalow turned out to be the best part of our trip. It was so luxurious and relaxing. The bed is so amazingly comfortable and the linens are so soft, you just melt into them. The water is so clear and we snorkeled everyday just out in front and around the bungalows. We took out a kayak one day too and had a great time. The sandy bottom pool was very warm and beautiful also. The restaurant right on the ocean was fantastic but very expensive as was the breakfast buffet. We walked up to the market and the patisserie and got everything we needed (and more) for breakfast and lunches in our room so then we'd indulge and have a great dinner out. The hotel was so quiet and relaxing. Everyone was extremely helpful and took care of our every need. No you cannot enter the water from your bungalow directly, but that wasn't a problem at all and it made us feel that much safer and private, as no one could enter your bungalow from the water either. We spent most of our time, when not in the water, on our balcony enjoying the beautiful view. We saw so many interesting fish and water life just from the balcony that you wouldn't even have to get wet to enjoy all of them. The sunsets were just gorgeous- different every night. I can't wait to come back and stay here again.
“Tropical Paradise”
Le Meridien Tahiti has been recently renovated, and it shows. The rooms are well-furnished and comfortable; the view of the lagoon and the palm trees from the room is wonderful; Moorea on the horizon at the beach is amazing. Kayaking on the lagoon is free, and a very relaxing couple of hours. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is quite good at the restaurants (although - like everywhere else on Tahiti - very expensive). On the other hand, there is a coffee maker in the room and a small refrigerator, so it is not difficult to bring in your own food from the supermarket down the street and eat on the balcony with that wonderful view. The hotel also has access to the rental car company with the best rates on the island. So if you want to drive around the island, the rental company will pick you up at the hotel and you can leave the car there at the end as well. I highly recommend Le Meridien for your stay on this wonderful tropical island.
“Tahiti paradise”
Beautiful hotel! I recommend reserving a room on the top floor for an incredible view of the lagoon and sunsets...which were amazing! Very nice sandy bottom pool with tons of room for many people, get down to the pool area early to reserve a space though. The hotel food was very good, recommend the seafood all the way around, steak and chicken not so good. Get a kayak from the pool area and go out on the lagoon for a paddle, it's really beautiful...overall fantastic stay!
“Pearl in Tahiti”
Beautiful spot on the main island with an excellent beach. The nicest staff, great food and gorgeous view of the bay. It's French of course. We arrived just in time for Polynesian music and dance at Easter breakfast. Saw more Tahitians and less visitors in general. Recommend highly.
“Le Meridien Tahiti”
Beautiful spot! Loved the roof top gold fish pond. Food is a little expensive.
