Tahiti Airport Motel

Tahiti Airport Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great spot to stay while transitioning from one island to another. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. And, while close to the airport, it was actually quite quiet and restful…with the exception of the occasional rooster call! But that is island life."
