Frommer's Review

Beside the lagoon in Papara, on the south coast, this is one of Tahiti's better pensions. The English-speaking Brothersen family keeps everything running smoothly, and son Steve will take you fishing and on guided tours of the island. Half the units here are standard government-issue bungalows with one room for living and sleeping, an attached bathroom to the rear, and a front porch. One of these faces the lagoon, as do two other Mediterranean-style "villa" units with separate bedrooms and their own kitchens. These villas open to a lagoonside swimming pool, which makes up for the lack of a beach. A pier extends over the lagoon, where a wire enclosure traps a school of trevally fish. Guests here get free use of kayaks. Breakfast is available.

Facilities:
Outdoor pool; complimentary kayaks; coin-op washer and dryer

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
