I also went via Tahiti but I was coming from Australia so it made sense. Papeete was damn expensive and not that great, but if you have the opportunity to go out to one of the outer islands like Moorea, Bora Bora then I hear its unbelievable out there.
Oh yeah - forgot to comment on Tahiti.
We went through there 1-way as a couple day stop over (our trip was Miami-Santiago-Rapa Nui-Tahiti & Moorea-Rarotonga-New Zealand-LAX).
Tahiti is an expensive, dirty city, with the least friendly people we met the entire trip. No advantage to going through there. I'd be happy to never return, though would return to Rarotonga & Rapa Nui & New Zealand, for sure!!
On the other hand, if you go through Santiago, you can stop in at the Bali Hai restaurant, which is very cool!!!
If you do end up going through Tahiti, Moorea is indeed beautiful. We didn't hit BoraBora, so can't speak to that one.
