Honest Review

The hotel has a nice reception but the rooms are quite dated, staff were friendly and helpful with storing our bags after checkout. The bed was comfortable with clean sheets and towels, only the shower could have been a bit cleaner as the tiles/grout needed a good clean.

There was nothing around the hotel.and nothing to do there. The hotel needed an update. Our balcony was restricted with the large air-conditioning units. However, our room was large with a sink, and kept very tidy with replaced toiletries and water. The staff were so friendly, kind, and helpful, which made so much difference to our stay.

Easy access to cruise terminal and airport

The staff was friendly and professional. They were helpful with restaurants selection for the area as well as booking taxi for airport transfer. The hotel is a bit dated. However, it is a great place to stay for pre cruise or pro cruise stay since it is only a short distance from the cruise port and the airport.

The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The facility is older but the rooms are large and adequate. The airconditioning and draperies (completely dark) were excellent. Very clean floors, white linens, bathroom. This was perfect for my needs. However, the location is on the edge of the port/tourist area of Papeete so it's a 10 minute walk to the central area for shops and eateries. There was no balcony or swimming pool which are not expected at this price point.

Good choice if you don't need a pool!

Kind of near town, functional if you dont need a pool. Felt safe. Had a skinny little balcony which came in handy drying out dive equipment. Beautiful sunset view. Very comfortable for us. Affordable,

Generally not appealing, bed is poor quality, some noise that was unexplainable. Went there from airport late at night, slept for 6 hours to catch the ferry the next morning to Moorea. Area feels dumpy and unsafe. Conveniently located close to ferry terminal.
