You can enjoy all the amenities at the Intercontinental by paying a fee for day use. Totally worth it I think, as I have found no good beaches on Tahiti. (We once asked a taxi driver to take us to the best beach, and he dropped us of in a strip of sand behind the McDonald's.) At the resort, you have access to the pool, a snorkeling pond, and a small beachfront where you can also rent scuba gear. And they even have hammocks between the palm trees. #Goals.
This is a billboard In the airport. I drank my share of these in this trip! A bit like Corona. #beer 🍺

Very convenient to the airport. The staff was very kind and friendly. Also helpful. If you arrive early, you can do an early check in 8am; and pay an extra 60.00. It’s well worth it! The room was very clean and comfortable. This is a very simple motel, not a place for you if you need fancy accommodations. ...

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Faaa is just a gateway to Tahiti and so its very urban, industrial and utilitarian.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Was a bit scruffy. Lots of graffiti and litter

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

The city is not really very attractive but you are generally just passing through. The Airport is about 15 minutes by taxi from the centre of town and the ferry terminal for Moorea Island.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Not much to do here except transiting to/from other islands I think
