Accommodation in French Polynesia
Our tahiti accommodation directory ranges from some of the most exclusive small island resorts with stunning overwater bungalows to pension style guesthouses for budget travellers. There are more than a dozen beach resorts on Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora to choose from. Amongst these are large brand hotels including Hilton, Sofitel and Intercontinental. French Polynesia is one of the most expensive destinations to visit on holiday but relative affordability is offered by small pensions scattered around the islands, usually offering bungalow style accommodation and sometimes hosted by a local Tahitian family.
I do not recommend using booking engines like Booking.com or Kayak to book your holiday accommodation in Fiji. These global booking platforms have terrible customer service when things go wrong (and they do) and their rating structure is based mostly on which hotels pay them higher commissions to be better placed in their recommendations over those trying not to bow to this corporate pressure. We would always recommend sending an enquiry direct to the hotel via its website and go from there. There should be no difference in price, you'll get to converse with a real person and you'll be assisting the hotel that you've chosen for your holiday.
The following directory represents my favourite accommodations in Fiji over a range of price categories, locations and for both couples, families and travellers. Our directory features both the popular large beach hotels sold by most travel agents, as well as highlighting the smaller, lesser-known boutique style resorts around the islands for those looking for a little more peace and quiet.
