Maitai Express Tahiti

Maitai Express Tahiti

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for one night. Was in the perfect area we didn't have to get any taxis we walked everywhere. Only needed taxi to airport. Ferry is a 5 min walk at most. Only thing is it did smell in the hotel floors hallways but not in our room. French outlets only No water in room only water stations and ice stations Laundry is available to do and you need to pay. I will say walls are thin can hear everything"
