For Services and Resources in French Polynesia
The Tahiti Cruisers Guide is brought to you by Julien Desmont from Xperimental and Chuck Houlihan from Jacaranda. Starting as an idea based on the very successful Panama City Cruisers guide, it has evolved into 200+ pages of information on vendors and services throughout French Polynesia. In January 2018, we added GPS coordinates and links to Google Maps to assist in locating businesses.
Downloading the guide and GPS map coordinates will facilitate using the guide offline. The coordinates will work for either Maps.me (best for Papeete) or Google Maps.
Especially thankful to John (SV Mary Ann II) and Steve (SV Ocean Star) for their huge effort in supplying a vast amount of information for the guide.
The guide is a community effort. Updates and new additions are greatly appreciated. If you find the guide useful or find something that needs updating please drop us a note at tahiticruisersguide (AT) gmail.com

view in google mapsLocated 5 blocks from central Papeete and is the closest hotel to Techni Marine (4 blocks). Fare Uti.
It runs about 8000-10,000 a night depending on season. They do NOT have a kitchenette in the rooms but can supply electric kettle. Rooms have a mini fridge. There is a microwave downstairs that is for guests
We checked booking.com and then went and spoke to the hotel mgr. He gave us a 20% discount as we were planning on staying a week or more
8-2022 SV Jamala We stayed for over 2 weeks and it is the same as everyone says on Tripadvisor, the staff are wonderful and friendly and some of the hotel rooms have been refurbished and some haven’t. The male housekeepers were better than the ladies. If you book on Booking.com then you can get breakfast included. Served from 6-9am not a minute after 9!
There is a microwave in the lounge area that you can use. There’s also a coffee machine and you can buy coffee pods at reception.
They will happily store your bags for you.
We had two different rooms whilst we were there and both had a fridge and coffee making facilities. Bottles of water were provided daily. So near to Technimarine if your boat is in the yard.
