All was good. Things were a little dated but everything was clean an working. Really liked the setting with the little porches around the pool and all the gardens. We arrived late, cooked dinner in the kitchenette and swam in the pool with the night lighting. Very nice atmosphere. Only thing we didn't like was the noise on the road from behind - was on the weekend and could here several loud motor bikes going by throughout the night.

The staff was so helpful and so patient with all of our questions. Room was available early (we got off a cruise ship). The room was very comfortable and very clean. We didn't stay overnight (our outgoing flight was at midnight) and the staff called a taxi for us to arrive at 9:00 p.m. (after they left for the day). Taxi was there promptly. Hotel was within walking distance to various restaurants and the beach. Pool was very clean and inviting. We would definitely recommend this place!

I had the Raiatea room with kitchenette. There is a toaster, stove top, microwave, etc. And the gas station next door is stocked with most things for a tourist- toiletries, lots of drinks, canned food, microwaveable food, packaged cheese and meats, bread, some fresh food, and hot and cold to go food. The room is closer to the gas station side, so yes you can hear the street. Bring ear plugs, or I use my child's sound machine. Also bring repellent for everywhere in French Polynesia. There weren't a lot at this pension, but they are possible anywhere outside of a resort. There is a park and beach across the street. Its not huge, but there is enough grass for a child to run around on (thats why I chose it). On one day, the ocean was clean and very nice to explore. The other time, yhe water was clean but there were a lot of broken kelp lile plant pieces floating in it (NOT trash), so ok to go in but not crystal. It was likely because of a storm or all the tourists stomping around in the lagoon. The pension has some masks and fins as well as a few pairs of water shoes to borrow. My partner had a good time snorkeling in the lagoon.
The pool was also nice. And not too busy. Great for occupying a child.
Museum of tahiti can be walked to, but the path is next to road.

The only down is the roosters are 4 am... but they were all over the island so I guess that's a Tahiti thing! Highly reccomend

Great and convenient property located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Tahiti. Vincent, the owner, is very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The property is in a quiet area, yet close to shopping, including a 24-hour store, making it very convenient. There’s also a car park available on-site, which is a great bonus. The rooms are comfortable, equipped with air conditioning and a fridge, offering everything you need for a relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

We arrived after dark, and Vincent was kind enough to stay up and open the gate for us. He then showed us a video of the rooms, near by shopping, and local attractions. The public beach is a short 5 minute walk away and was beautiful. I wish we had more time to snorkel and relax on the beach. We will be back in two weeks to spend a day here before catching our flight home to Arizona. A nice place to relax.

Good guesthouse in Tahiti

I stayed at Pension de la Plage for almost a week. The location is good, being on the west side of Tahiti, and is close enough to Papeete that the major dive organizations will pick you up here if diving is part of your trip. There is a small park across the street, a small combination grocery store and gas station next door, and a great snorkeling reef within walking distance. The rooms at Pension de la Plage are comfortable, and my room had a small kitchen with basic cook wear and utensils. For those who don't want to cook breakfast there is a breakfast available for purchase. I would consider staying here again if I ever travel back to Tahiti.

Absolutely perfect! Charming and authentic Tahiti

Absolutely perfect! This little oasis was the perfect place to stay on our stopover to Bora Bora. I only wish we had more time to enjoy this lovely place! Vincent, the owner, waited up for our late arrival and escorted us to our room, showed us a lovely video about the property, and arranged everything we needed. After a midnight dip in the garden pool, I slept like a baby. AC worked great and room was very comfortable! I only hope the rest of our trip is this lovely! My teenage daughter, who loves the high-end hotels, said that this was her favorite place because it is so charming and authenticly Tahiti and that everyone needs to stay here when in Tahiti.

Great for a night

Good for a night when you arrive or a night before a flight. Comfortable, friendly, the owner was very kind in explaining everything the place has to offer, including the very nearby beach and snorkeling opportunities. The 24 hr store next door was useful for various food options. Not where I'd base an entire vacation, but pleasant enough and outside of Papeete enough to enjoy the natural beauty of this island.

Amazing little natural park to stay at

What a beautiful small hotel. Gated in with an amazing pool. Beautiful plants everywhere designed eclectically but soothing. The room had everything we might need. The beds were comfortable and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable (we did not speak French , but they spoke enough English to understand each other. Absolutely brilliant snorkeling just across the street, maybe couple hundred meters. Bring your trunks and some food to prepare and sit on the balcony and enjoy the biodiverse surroundings that have been arranged

I had just finished a 2 week stay in the French Polynesian Islands and just wanted to spend 2 nights relaxing and enjoying the beach. I was a little anxious about being by myself after spending the past 2 weeks with 12 people. What a lovely surprise to be greeted by Vincent and shown to my room. He explained the area to me, how to get to restaurants and the beach and he even ordered my taxi for 530 on the morning of my departure. It is a gated facility, very secure with a lovely pool surrounded by beautiful large rooms with a kitchen area and nice size bath room and patio with a front and rear entrance. They did have breakfast available but I chose to buy some groceries and just had coffee in the outside covered eating area next to the pool. The beach, restaurants and shops were within close walking distance. I took a cab from and to the airport. And is was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I had a room with a kitchenette, so I could prepare my own meals. A shopping centre is in a walking distance. Though the main road of Tahiti is just behind a wall, the traffic doesn´t bother, especialy during nights.

Vincent, the host, was fantastic. He went above and beyond. He answered all of my emails promptly. He made sure a driver was waiting for me at the airport, even though my plane arrived close to midnight, and made sure I got into my room, even though the front desk was closed by the time I got there. Vincent even gave me the name of an AMAZING tour guide to show me around the island on New Years Day. The staff was friendly and lovely. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the accommodations. There were ants everywhere and the towels and the bed sheets were hard and scratchy. If plush is what you're looking for, this is not the place.

The place really needs an overhaul. The room was clean but cheaply appointed and dated. The television only had French stations. I don’t know if Netflix is available in Tahiti but it would be nice. The bathroom wasn’t, although clean, not very inviting at all. The pool was nice but breakfast was a joke. The place is in a busy area and there was always noise. Not very relaxing. I would not stay there again. It was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for.

This place is horrible, avoid at all costs. Its dirty dingy, sheets were either dirty or stained. The beds were rock hard, i think the floor would have been more comfortable bugs all over inside, rotting wood damaged wood. Walls are super thing you hear everything. Just gross over all and it wasnt cheap! And to top it off guests were partying all night in the coirtyard outside the doors and cannonballing into the pool. Got no sleep at all and had international flight in the am we had to be up at 3. Hotel said they arraged cab for us for our early flight and none came we stsrted to panic we had to make nternational call to get a ride to airport (expensive) We double checked twice w office to make sure cab was ordered they assured us it was. Road nice is super loud as place is next to the main road. towels looked dirty,dingy and stained. I would never stay again and wouldnt recommend them to anyone! I would have left but due to the holiday everything was booked and i coukdnt find another place to stay
