This is my second visit to Tahiti and my second time staying at Maison Taina. Valerie and Laurent are wonderful hosts. If you are looking for top notch hospitality and want to feel welcome, stay here. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was perfect for both my visits. It is worth the extra few minutes’ drive from the airport to Maison Taina! We will be coming back to FP and will definitely book with them again next time.

The property is located in the hills up a very steep hill. The views are spectacular and a lovely introduction to rural Tahiti. We did not have a car and that proved to be difficult for us. There are no restaurants close by and walking not easy. They no longer serve dinner so you are on your own but the owners will assist you.

This was our favorite location on the island of Tahiti. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the lodging was very comfortable, with A/C, a very nice pool, and a lovely breakfast served by the host. It was probably the best value of any place we rented during our trip. If i ever return to Tahiti I will most definitely stay here!

The accomadations were fabulous. The host and hostess kind and welcoming. The pool was relaxing. I am giving it a 4 stars only because you could not walk anywhere. Every trip away was $40.00+ taxi fee, which adds up daily. I expected the accomadations to be more convenient and walkable.

Valérie, her husband Laurent and her son Tom were all very welcoming and helpful. Valerie has contacts for anything you need. The outdoor kitchen is well stocked with spices and utensils for cooking your own lunch or dinner. Breakfast was a nice selection of fresh breads,croissants fresh tropical fruit and cooked eggs plus juice, tea or coffee. The pool looked very inviting but we didn’t use it on this trip. The room was spotless.

A very special place

This is a great place to stay; only 4 rooms, each slightly different, but with great facilities and views. Kitchen/dining room for use of guests is also a pleasant place to be. Great hosts who are good to talk to and share their experience of moving to Tahiti from France and their knowledge of their adopted home. A very special place indeed.

Valerie, our host/owner, was amazing and attentive to all of our needs. We enjoyed the property and the views of Ārue and the beach. Breakfast was great! Croissants are the best! They’re made in house and fresh. Also, Valerie was very knowledgeable of activities and landmarks for tourist to visit. We recommend to anyone visiting tahiti for the first time and looking to get away from big resorts and hotels. Great place!!!
