Top tips for finding Papeete hotel deals
- If you’re looking for a cheap hotel in Papeete, you should consider visiting during the low season. You'll find cheaper accommodations in Papeete in January and August.
- Hotel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll most likely find the best hotel deals in Papeete if you stay on a Monday. The opposite is true for, Wednesday, which is usually the most expensive day.
- Book at least 32 days before your stay begins to get the best price for your Papeete accommodation.
- If you plan on visiting other nearby islands during your stay in Papeete, look for hotels in the neighbourhood of Fare Ute such as Hotel Sarah Nui, an option that offers an airport shuttle and free parking. This district near the coast is where the local port and ferry services can be found. The Mahana Lodge is another chic and stylish choice that is just a 3min walk from the boats.
- To stay in a particularly secluded and quiet area, keep your eyes out for a hotel in the neighbourhood of Residence Hamuta. Villa Aute is a popular choice with a lush garden and complimentary self-parking. Although easily accessible from the rest of the town, this neighbourhood is known for being primarily residential, meaning that it is calm and doesn’t have a lot of nightlife.
- For those who are planning on visiting different monuments and museums during their trip, search for hotels in Papeete that are in Manuhō'ē, a neighbourhood less than a 10min walk from both the Monument aux Morts and the Robert Wan Pearl Museum. The Tara Tahiti Lodge will put you in the centre of this neighbourhood and has a terrace, air conditioning and free breakfast.
- Hoping to explore some of the region’s luscious green spaces? Choose to stay somewhere close to Pā'ōfa'i Gardens, a well-landscaped park offering many types of trees, trails and fishponds to explore. If you stay at Mahana Lodge Hostel & Backpacker, you’ll have access to the hotel's library as well as free luggage storage.
- To be in an area that has historic architecture and many unique buildings, select somewhere in Orovini such as the Hotel Tiare Tahiti, which offers rooms with balconies and has a charming on-site cafe. In this neighbourhood you will find a variety of cathedrals and temples that are open to the public.
