The place is nice and has an amazing rooftop bar and restaurant. We stayed one night after coming back from bora bora. Most people go to the airport hotels but I wanted a small night life.

This is well located across from ferry terminal. The shared seating area is open air and very comfortable with minimal wet bar. The “cabins” are cubicals with bed high up and no window. The cabin next door must have had a lower bed. As such it’s a bunk bed each in its own room. There was much acitivity throughout the night with people coming and going waking me several times.

The cabin was fine for a night and the hotel was in a good location. Overall recommend. We had a little disagreement with the way the Reeftop handled a situation but they are independent from the hotel.

We spent several hours here to wait for our late night flight back to LA after coming back from Bora Bora. Nice place to take a shower and rest instead of spending many hrs at Tahiti airport.

Great hotel near the cruise port, 6 minute walk. Very small rooms but the place was clean and they have a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant and a panoramic bar on the 8th floor. For one night, I highly recommend. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful.

Noisy until the nightclub next door closes at 5am. Don't feel like the sweat if areas. Fine for a one night stop if you're heading to the ferry terminal early in the morning.

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki is very clean, well organised and a great concept. Shared bathrooms were very clean, the bed was comfy and check in by staff at around 3:30am was quick and painless - so much better than trying to navigate a self-check in at that time. Rooms are small and have no windows but as they are clean with a great bed, I had everything I needed. Would recommend.
