"Good location to the cruise port and ferry. Short walk to restraint and shopping.
The coffee shop had wonderful coffee and food with awesome service.
If you have car to park not a lot of parking and what is available is designed for very small compact car."
"This hotel is scheduled for renovation as it is long in the tooth having served the area for over 40 years. The bungalows are charming. The staff can't be any nicer and the food was acceptable."
"Great location close to shops and the waterfront. Very helpful staff who have decent English speaking skills. Breakfast was minimal but there are good options nearby. No hair dryer but excellent AC that was super quiet. I would definitely stay there again!"
"This hotel is fit for purpose - the staff is super friendly and reception is staffed 24/7 due to the many late arrivals into Papeete airport. They have a fridge stocked with useful drink and food items to purchase at okay pricing.
The room is dated but again, fit for purpose. There’s a fridge, kettle and coffee and tea (no milk).The aircon works well too.
It is right across from the airport but DO NOT attempt to get there without a taxi. It used to just be one steep climb up from right across the airport but this has since been closed off. Having to walk all around the hotel and accessing it from the back with no clear signage and a steep climb up and then very steep downhill climb again to reach the hotel with a heavy suitcase is really unsafe.
Taxis are not cheap but you have no other options! Expect to pay 2,000 XPF for a 2 min ride and make sure you have that handy in cash.
To get food you’d have to take an expensive taxi again - round trip with the airport being the closest option. The hotel offers breakfast and cup noodles to use with the kettle in your room."
"The location and setting were very good. There a few things that did not go well.
1. The bathroom light was not able to be turned off, shining light into the bedroom all night.
2. My room was next to the tourism centre and drop off point for the cruise ships’ shuttles therefore was quite noisy at times and made the large balcony not usable..
3. I was also bitten by a dog on a walk. Fortunately the pharmacy and doctor nearby were very helpful.
4. There were dogs and chickens walking freely through the property- some may not like this.
Best part of my stay was the walk to the bar and the view and sunset- beautiful."
