For most travelers, Faa'a International Airport (PPT) is the only logical choice, as it is the sole facility located within the city of Papeete and serves as the primary international gateway. The other two airports serve neighboring islands and are not located in Papeete. Temae Airport (MOZ) is located on the island of Moorea, approximately 21 km away, and requires a transit via ferry or domestic flight to reach the mainland. It is best suited for those primarily visiting Moorea for leisure. Similarly, Huahine Fare Airport (HUH) is located on the island of Huahine, over 181 km away, and is intended strictly for those staying in the Leeward Islands. Travelers should be aware that ground transport at the island airports is significantly more limited than in Papeete, often requiring pre-arranged transfers from local hosts. For the most seamless and budget-friendly experience, arriving at the capital's main hub is highly recommended, as it offers a variety of taxis, public buses, and private shuttles to accommodate all types of travelers.

Pros: The location is only a short walk to the ferry, cruise terminal, markets, restaurants and shops. If you are only sleeping there and can sleep through pumping music until the early hours it is convenient. If you want to enjoy any amenities like a restaurant for lunch stay elsewhere
Con’s:
There is no place to hang whilst you are waiting to check in. There is a coffee shop on ground floor. But I don’t travel to Tahiti to expect that is the only space available.
We had planned to go to the restaurant for lunch but it was closed for a private function
The lobby is a small area crowded with dozens 100? Bags stacked up waiting to check in or depart.
We were told firmly check in is 3pm so your room can’t be ready until then. Really? at the stroke of 3 they will wave a manic wand and every room will suddenly be cleaned!
There is no pool.
The rooms look out to the Road and commercial terminal blocks most of the view we thought we’d paid for.
The lifts are crowded with locals? Visiting the roof deck which was so loud into the morning we couldn’t sleep.FromUS$257

The ferry terminal to Molea Island is just across the street. The Tahiti Market is a 7-minute walk away. Nearby are also a pearl market, a famous church, and museums. A taxi from the airport takes 11 minutes and costs $22. The facilities are complete and clean; the only drawback is the shared restrooms and showers. The 8th-floor terrace offers sea views.FromUS$110

Was fantastic, very friendly people, but: I was slippered 28th by a waterkey of biff off shower, my neck quite (at least) knitting, was not seriously treated, towels were laid down and I had to pray for ice to cool One of the women gave me ice.
Now; 1 week later: can still not use my hand
Also: leakage in the village, idem This is not taken seriously, even there is only a towel placed and again appoint: nothing, so you are only dry towels picked up and the weak thrown in them hook
Erg jammer, want was verder goed
I should have just let a doctor sweep and pay them cats, seeing them backwards.
Now: My bikini trousers still hanging, they don't want to send them up even if I pay
I was so annoying, for I was still out of bed, though I had the only cracking bed and I didn't sleep 11 nightsFromUS$41
