Hotels in French Polynesia

French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France. It is a collection of 118 islands in the Pacific Ocean and covers only a small area. Finding hotels in French Polynesia is one of the main concerns for people traveling to the islands. While other islands have interesting attraction sites, Tahiti is the most inhabited with most of the country’s population. The availability of people and other facilities make Tahiti the best option to stay in during your visit. Here, public bus transport is available, making it easier to move around. Although regulations allow foreigners to rent cars and drive around, it could be costly since vehicles are scarce. Streets in Tahiti are less populated and clean, making it easy to walk around.
