Hidden Tahiti: Including Moorea, Bora Bora, and the Society, Austral, Gambier, Tuamotn and Marguejaj Islands Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just returned from a trip to Tahiti and Moorea and used this book. So my feedback is specifically for those two islands. I must say the book was very spotty in terms of the quality of recommendations and its comprehensiveness. First, many of the locations that were recommended(restaurants/sights) were hit or miss. Second, I was so frustrated with the book that I went to restaurants that were unlisted and found them to be 100 times better that the author's recommendations. Which raised serious questions, "why weren't these restaurants listed in the book?" Moorea has a very limited number of restaurants and thus no restaurant should be excluded (Note: The restaurant was not new and the owner said it had been around for many years - just in case you were wondering).
In addition, the book is not well organized when you're trying to look for things.
I suggest you find another book if you're headed to French Polynesia.
