Polynesian resort isle (6)

I believe the answer is:

tahiti

(Other definitions for tahiti that I've seen before include "Main island of French Polynesia" , "South Seas island, capital Papeete" , "South Pacific island, capital Papeete" , "South Pacific island where both Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin spent time" , "part of Polynesia" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
