Very helpful in allowing us early entry after an early morning arrival in Papeete. We were able to wait around the pool area, in the shade, until our room was ready, before the normal,11 am check in time. No problem either with a 5am check out.

Everyone was so friendly ! The room was spacious, clean, had a mini fridge and table outside ! The staff was so loving and helpful! We 24 hours convenience store next door that saved us on a late flight ! Conveniently located walkable to many places! 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

Affordable stay in the paradise.

It was just wonderful, walk across the street and you are on one of the nicest beach. Gated security for the cars too, lockbox for money and passports, nice garden and pool. The roosters come around 5.00 am. Good aircon, internet was ok most of the time, some shaky signals a few times.

This property is a great stop over for a night or two in Tahiti. It is comfortable and clean. It is located on the main road so traffic is loud. The amenities in the rooms are very limited! The staff are very helpful and really tried their best to explain everything in English!

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.

A perfect spot for a night or a week in Tahiti. Tastefully furbished cottages with full kitchens. Free daily breakfast and salt water pool. This location is directly across the street from the beach and next door to a convenience mart / gas station. A very good spot for families on a budget .

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.
