Hi There - anyone stayed at the Beachcomber in Papette, Tahiti ??

Yes, In March 2000, right after it's major remodeling and just before it was renamed the Intercontinental. Nice hotel. Wonderful sand-bottomed pool once featured on the cover of Costco's travel agency booklet.

Thanks for your reply - no wonder Costco is putting us up there !

FYI - This webcam shows the view from the terrace just outside the lobby:

Note that because of a slight slope down to the water, the hotel lobby is on an upper floor. We stayed one night in a "panorama room" and one night in a "motu overwater" bungalow (actually one of the ones shown in the middle of the webcam view)*. In the distance (across the "Sea of the Moon&quot can be seen the island of Moorea (correctly pronounced "Mo Oh Ray Ah", not "More Ray Ah&quot. The pool shown in the webcam view is the main "horizon" pool, not the sand-bottomed one I mentioned.

* It was pretty cool to actually see a calandar photo of the very bungalow we stayed in at this resort. Very cool indeed!

A good hotel in Papeete. Have had 2 short stays and found the service and food etc. good and the bungalows nicely appointed.
