Radison Plaza Resort

The island of Tahiti is typically a stop off for those traveling to other islands. There are many Tahiti resorts or hotels near the airport that one can visit. I like to put my clients in the Radisson Plaza Resort Tahiti for a unique Tahiti hotel. It is one of the farthest Tahiti resorts from the airport though. The Radisson Plaza Resort is about 20 minutes from the airport and well worth the drive.

It features lush surroundings with easy access to Tahiti's best black sand beach. The Radisson Plaza Resort Tahiti offers the kind of warm hospitality, inviting atmosphere and topnotch services sure to please honeymooners and other Tahiti travelers. Enter one of the 165 guest rooms, including 86 Ocean View rooms, 53 Suites and 26 Duplex Suites, and you will be immediately drawn onto the Lanai balcony and inspired by the majestic views overlooking Lafayette Beach. The Lanai, a covered balcony, creates an external living environment to relax and enjoy the majestic sunsets with Moorea in the backdrop. A selection of rooms also offers your personal Jacuzzi. Honeymooners receive a free upgrade to the oceanview Jacuzzi room based on availability.

The biggest draw for this Tahiti resorts property is the black sand beach. There are not too many places in the world where one can experience a black sand beach! It is beautiful, soft and alluring. But be aware, this sand can get very hot.

This is a great place for a romantic Tahiti honeymoon or a Tahiti resorts honeymoon. I would refer to this as a resort hotel rather than an Airport hotel. It is great for honeymooners whom really want to enjoy Tahiti as a destination and stay for more than 2 nights. The rooms all have Bamboo floors, large bathrooms and even rooms with their own private Jacuzzi.

The staff here is fabulous and so enthusiastic. They offer a complimentary shuttle service twice daily to town. The resort facilities include a local crafts area with daily changing craftsmen and displays. Also on property is a souvenir store with exotic Black Pearls and local crafts, Hair dresser and Beauty Salon, resort General Store, water sports and ocean activities, a tour desk for local tours and expeditions, laundry facility and an awesome day spa and health club.

You can revitalize and rejuvenate the mind, body and soul in Tahiti's first purpose built day spa and health club. Enjoy a range of pampering beauty and health treatments in the cool surrounds of the day spa, or energize the body with pumping cardio and fitness activities. The spa uses lotions made form the warm, fine sand of their own black sand beach. Entertainment includes a Polynesian show on Saturday night for around $70USD per person. Excursions include a boat trip to see the local dolphins. If you don't have time for an excursion, you can sometimes view the dolphins playing right in front of the resort.
