The Hilton Hotel Tahiti is a fantastic place to stay for several nights at least. We stayed here to wind down after a cruise and were delighted with our choice of hotel. The pool is amazing and there are several great restaurants onsite. Live Polynesian music and dance was a delightful bonus whilst sipping cocktails by sunset. Room was lush, king bed and great rain shower. It was the extra luxury details that made our stay so memorable. We will be back in a heartbeat.

The beach front bungalow was beautiful, quiet and so handy to the beach. Unfortunately the snorkeling gear is unfit for purpose, both sets leaked and snorkel itself needs to be thrown out. Buffet dinner was terrible and definitely not worth the cost . I’d recommend going elsewhere. Breakfast on the other hand was excellent. Note happy hour 1/2 Price drinks ( still expensive) only pertain to cocktail list supplied. No other beverages are included. I would recommend staying here for bungalow and breakfast alone.
