Top Hotels Near Tomb of King Pomare V in Arue from AU$191

"We stayed here 2 nights before our cruise. We are also staying a week here after our cruise. Everything is close by and walkable. Would stay here again in a heart beat. We had a king bed and lots of space. Small kitchen and large walkin shower. The food in the cafe was excellent. "

"We had a wonderful time and comfortable stay here."

"The property is right on the water on a beautiful black sand beach. Easy to navigate and the rooms were super spacious for our family of four. Two story room with gorgeous views. "

"Fresh croissants and fruit from the island for breakfast were delicious. Wonderful, kind hosts with fabulous recommendations for our time on the island. Loved every minute of our stay. Only wish it were longer. Such a peaceful and beautiful property. "

"Great stay, few steps to the black beach. Excellent customer service! And Poe Rava was so helpful! Thank you for everything! "

"We loved the private beach. This was our daughter's favorite part of the trip. There are other people who have access to the beach as well as you are in a neighborhood of Arue but compared to the public beaches you have a piece of paradise all to yourself. We also enjoyed all the animal life (giant snails, crabs, birds and one day we even saw a sea otter swimming near us). The neighbors do have dogs (and there are a lot of dogs in Tahiti) but they did not bother us. The rental van was a must for us. It enables you to go to the local markets, grocery stores, restaurants, and visit the island. We only booked one tour on viator which was snorkeling (and technically you can do that in the private beach area), but we are not experienced and wanted a guide to take us into one of the lagoon areas around the island. Our primary purpose for booking a Vrbo over the resort was the private beach and having access to a rental vehicle that would allow us to explore independently. There are a lot of bugs (it is a tropical island), so bring bug spray and anti-itch cream. The hosts were very respectful of personal space and we only saw them a couple of times during our stay and for the pick up and drop off at the airport. We wanted to experience life as the Tahitians do and so that is what you will get with this beach house which is among the locals who are extremely gracious and friendly. "
