Tahiti Pricing Note: TAHITI SUN TRAVEL doesn't list specific prices of rooms for it's LISTINGS simply because they are subject to too many changes! We would rarely be able to claim accuracy, and would constantly be updating and changing prices according to the economy fluctuations of French Polynesia.

The hotels who have their own INTERLINKING WEBSITES are responsible for their own priceing updates and take care of that business themselves. As time goes by and more Hotels, Pensions and lodgings develop and interlink their own websites, up-to-date and accurate pricing can become a more exact science.

For now, we offer the following pricing structure as a ROUGH GUIDE for you to help plan your vacation budget on Tahiti.

TOP END-
From $151.00- 600.00+/night
MID-RANGE-
From $61.00-150.00/ night
BUDGET / CAMPING-
From $12.00- 60.00/night
Prices given in US DOLLARS

MID-RANGE / TAHITI
(FAMILY RUN PENSIONS & SMALL HOTELS)
      These accomodations vary greatly throughout Tahiti-Polynesia. Some are quite luxurious, although slightly less so than the top of the line resorts listed above. Many are also not so luxurious, but what you'll save in dollars may end up being a worthy tradeoff. They range from hotels and motels to what the French Polynesians call "Pensions" which are basically family run operations, often with family style service. Since the majority of places to stay on all the Tahitian islands consist of these mid-range style accomodations, you might imagine there is also a great variation in quality, service, and facilities... Explore the listings and links below for details.

NOTE: Some of these mid- range establishments fall into the same generalized categories and descriptions of the smaller budget pensions, hotels, and lodging in private homes listed in our BUDGET/ TAHITI section below. They are marked with red abbreviations, which describe their categories. For category details, please see our chart below.

BUDGET / CAMPING /TAHITI
(PENSIONS, SMALL HOTELS, AND LODGING IN PRIVATE HOMES)

        Listed below are refuges for those of you on a tight budget or wishing to save your hard earned money on various activities or Island hopping rather than on lodging.

       
       Amenities can be a bit stark compared to some other more expensive places to stay on the island, but just because it's budget doesn't mean it isn't a great place to stay. Backpackers, students, long term travelers, or campers (see camping details below) - love these places... Accomodations are often simple bungalows, dorm style cottages or rooms utilizing communal style bathrooms, kitchens, and showers.

       In our humble opinion, many of these low or mid range choices are among the BEST places to stay, on ALL the islands of Tahititi Polynesia, due to their "family touch." They are the easiest places to have personal contact and interact with the islanders, which most people will find extremely rewarding. Most, if not all the accomodations, are run by family members and they are often very friendly, outgoing, and interesting to meet for any traveler. Great sources of Island information, these locals also can help you organize the many island activities and sights you will be pursuing.

CATEGORY DESCRIPTION NOTE: Many of these lower budget establishments fall into the same generalized categories and descriptions as the MID-RANGE accomodations above. They are marked with red abbreviations, which describe their categories. For category details, please see our chart below.

CAMPING ON TAHITI
    
Unfortunately, camping on Tahiti is rather limited, in contrast to popular (non local) opinion and desire... but there are some interesting choices for you if you're motivated.

       You basically have 2 choices: The first one is the easy way. It consists of contacting one of the pensions above and asking them if it's allright to pitch your tent on their grounds.
You'll most likely be pitched right in the middle of the family's yard, not really "camping" in the true sense of the word, but you'll be able to save money this way and use the communal kitchen, bathroom facilities, and store your valuables with the management, just as if you'd be paying for a room. Campers rates are usually a LITTLE lower than a basic room- the lowest of the rock bottom pricing choices for any stay on Tahiti.


     The second choice is to go deep... There's limited, but wonderful camping within the island's steamy interior and on Tahiti- Iti. See our special camping section now for details!

          Pension Chart for budget and mid range places to stay on Tahiti
PH: Small Hotels - A similiar group of furnished rooms or lodging units, with at least a minimum of the necessary equipment to provide meals, services and activities.
CH: Guest room - A furnished room in a private lodging, including breakfast as a minimal service. This is the equivalent of a Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
PF: Family Pension - One or more furnished rooms, dormitories or covered shelters located in the proximity of the operator's lodging, with individual or shared facilities, and including two or three meals a day.
FH: Guest House - A furnished lodging located in the poximity of the operators lodging with sanitary facilities, and a dining area for guests.
G: Communal Dormitory - A furnished room located in the proximity of the operator's lodging. There are individual or shared sanitary facilities, and eventually a communal and dining area for guests.
GC: Gite- Camping - In addition to the "Guest house" definition, this category indicates camping space, with shared toilet and shower facilities and a communal kitchen and dining area.

(These classifications were created and are courtesy of the Tahiti Tourism Bureau, and we at Tahiti Sun Travel think they are a great way of organizing the various budget and mid range Places to Stay on the Polynesian Islands.)

TST Comment: TEAMO HOSTEL
     The Teamo is the lowest priced "place to stay" we've found in Papeete so far. Similiar to hostels the world over, the Teamo Hostel is basic, but in our opinion, a good value compared to other places to stay in Papeete. Rooms are bare bones and a bit dark. Don't expect any amenities beyond a small fan struggling to survive, and a single clean sheet that can double as a towel in case of need. The communal porch is comfortable and clean and may be the best place to do your relaxing and thinking...

     NOTE: CALL FIRST TO ANNOUNCE YOUR ARRIVAL. When you arrive at Teamo for the first time to check in, you may find yourself in an interesting situation. You'll have to find the hostel master of ceremonies and owner, "Mamy" first. A pleasant Tahitian native of over 70 years, only she or her husband can check you in. Unless she's there, you must walk across the road to her house and YELL for her... We suggest making a lot of noise and a spectacle of yourself in order to acheive her attention. She or her family will EVENTUALLY hear you and respond. FOR THIS REASON, WE SUGGEST YOU CALL FIRST TO LET HER KNOW YOU'RE COMING!
