Wow, thank you for the amazing review !
We’re thrilled you loved the easy check-in and our unique black sand beach location. It means a lot to us, and we’d be absolutely delighted to host you again anytime, you’re always welcome !
I liked the location next to the hotel where we could swim in the pool, use the spa or eat or drink at the restaurant and bar. It was right on the beach, and I loved opening the sliding glass doors each morning to hear the waves breaking onshore. We did have to take taxis places because we didn’t rent a car or we took the bus which was always iffy. The chairs and couch are a little odd because they can be folded out to make into a bed. They weren’t that comfortable. The owner was very responsive to my request for a larger cutting board and a straight bladed knife. There was only a long serrated knife. I received them the next day. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was very clean when we arrived. The gardens around the building are lovely and well-maintained. I enjoyed my stay here very much and would recommend it to others.

Thank you so much, Linda, for your thoughtful and detailed review.
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, the proximity to the hotel’s amenities, and especially the beachfront setting,
waking up to the sound of the waves sounds truly special.
We’re also very happy that the apartment was clean and comfortable on arrival, and that we were able to quickly assist you with your request during your stay.
Your feedback regarding the seating is appreciated and will be taken into consideration.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be glad to welcome you back anytime in the future.
It was an amazing staying within walking distance of an amazing resort. We enjoyed 11 meals at the restaurant and the staff was so welcoming, along with food being great. We highly recommend this place and the owner is great to work with.

Thank you so much Tom !
So glad you enjoyed your stay !
Just steps from the black sand beach, in an exceptional resort, it's the perfect place to relax, explore the surrounding area, and soak up the magic of Tahiti. 🏖️✨
A great, spacious apartment next to a nice black sand beach, with usage privileges of the resort next door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our host, Bea, was helpful, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. We would happily come back!It is important to have a car (this is true in general in Tahiti), so you can easily get groceries and go to nearby places like Pointe Venus, to complement your stay at the resort. The restaurant at the resort hotel next door is OK, but overpriced.

absolutely right, a car makes exploring Tahiti much easier, and it sounds like you made the most of it !
We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime.
The location was great
Very cinvenient for end of cruise break before flying home. You probably need a car if off site attracrions are desired. Great host.
The apartment was exactly as described. It had everything you would want for your stay. It was nice to be able to use the facilities of the attached hotel. The beach was amazing. The black sand was so soft. We were able to snorkel right from the beach. Ww would stay again 🌞👍
Exceptional apartment with a terrific view of the ocean.
Overall a wonderful experience. We had transportation issues getting to and from the apartment to the supermarket or restaurants other than the one at the resort next door.

Thank you for your comment.
I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful apartment on the beach. Sorry for the transportation issues for the supermarket and restaurants outside the Resort. The buses in Polynesia do not really respect the timetables, and therefore the wait can be a little longer than expected. Fortunately, the hotel shuttles to the city center and the Papeete market are on schedule.
I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you next time.
This property has everything you need for a great stay in Tahiti! Check-in process with Bea and Nina was very efficient and informative. Lots of space to relax and enjoy your Holiday. Amazing ocean views from the spacious kitchen area and sounds of crashing waves. Pool passes provided and a key for close access to the beautiful black sand beach. We would definitely stay here again in the future!!

Thank you very much Matthew for this very nice comment. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in our apartment. It was a real pleasure to welcome you. You are great guests. Thank you again for taking good care of the apartment. See you soon, I hope.
Being on the third floor made for a nice view. Beautiful black sand beach. The waves are a bit big for our kids age 6-11, but they liked to play in the river that leads to the ocean. The floors had broken slats which sank when you stepped on them which would be our only complaint. And only 2 passes to the resort, so we never went since we are a family of 5. But it served as a great base for our adventure.
Apartment was comfortable and well supplied. Best thing was sitting on the terrace watching the waves. Easy location able to get to everything quickly. Arrival was seamless. Our family fit well in the space. We did have to pay $100 to the hotel to have a third person at the pool…just be aware of possible additional costs if there are more than two people. (2 passes to all hotel amenities provided). Would defiantly stay again at the property! It was an amazing vacation.
We had a great stay in this small but functional apartment. With the convertible sofa’s, we were able to comfortably fit our family of 5. The main bed was really comfy and the bathroom is huge. The location was convenient for access to the beaches of Mahina and there is direct access to a beach right next to the apartment. We could see the whales passing from balcony of the apartment!
There is a bus stop right outside the complex which made it easy to get into Papeete and the hotel next door has a small scooter and car rental option if required.
The hotel also offers meal options and other amenities that can be used when staying at the apartment. Two passes are included to access these during the stay which works great for a couple, not so much for a family.
Bea was a fantastic host and was easily contactable when required. Thanks for a great stay!
We spent six relaxing days at this property. We really enjoyed being able to see and hear the ocean right out the kitchen windows and watch people on the beach.
We liked being to able to cook our own meals in the fully stocked kitchen. If we didn't want to cook, the property is a residence apartment of Le Tahit by Pearl resort. After a two minute walk, we enjoyed going to the resort pool and spa, being picked up for an excursion or going for a walk on the black sand beach.
We also went to a dinner show at the resort with a dinner buffet and Marquesan dance show that was really fun. We are also lucky enough to be at the apartment while the resort was having a big music Tahitian concert. I don't know who was playing but the music was excellent. We enjoyed the music for many hours from the comfort of the apartment.
Thank you, Bea, for this enjoyable, first half of our vacation.
The unit is in a lovely location - tight on a black sand beach. You can hear the waves lapping on the shore all dat and night. You do get to use some of the amenities at the hotel like the pool and spa but they tend to make you feel like you are “a 2nd class” citizen. They will not give you a towel or even share their internet password. We did buy drinks daily by the pool and had 4 dinners at their restaurant. The unit itself is lovely but to be honest -the layout is a bit kooky. The lanai that looks out over the beech is set up as the kitchen - so you have all of the kitchen equipment on one side of the room and a bistro set - a small table and two plastic chairs on the other. This is the only room in the unit that faces the beech, There were no comfortable or relaxing chairs there or in the unit that you could put out there to watch the ocean - like a couple of deck chairs for example that had a bit of a recipe to them, which is the purpose o tenting this condo. The only other issue is the sliding glass door off of the lanai into the living area - the wheels have pretty much fallen off and it’s metal on metal when you try to close them - which is no easy feat. That should be repaired and that is not costly to do. Having said all of thst - I probably would rent the unit again if I was to go back to Tahiti. I liked the location outside of downtown Papeete in a quiet area - the host is very responsive and it was clean.

Thank you Darryl for your comment. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay, especially the ideal location of our apartment directly on the beach in a 4-star hotel, and also the cleanliness of the apartment and access to the hotel pool.
There are indeed no lounge chairs in the apartment, but there are many armchairs in the living room, in the bedroom and also on the kitchen terrace facing the ocean. All around the pool, and throughout the hotel's huge garden, there are many lounge chairs for relaxing, facing the ocean.
I am absolutely sorry for the bay window between the kitchen and the terrace, which was difficult to slide. What a shame that you did not inform me during your stay in order to resolve this problem, which has now been resolved !
But it is a pleasure to know that during a future stay in Tahiti, you will choose our apartment again. We thank you for your trust and we look forward to welcoming you again,
Bea has a Beautiful unit, amazing view of the black sand beach and LePearl Resort very relaxing. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful.
I would retire here if I had the chance. Great communication from Bea on recommendation for special occasion dinner, and also food trucks.
