Classic gem on Tahiti
Charming old world resort beautifully modernized. Convenient to all area has to offer,
yet out of the hustle and bustle of Papeete service. Great price. A highlight of our trip

Perfect wind down hotel after island hopping.
We stayed for 2 nights on the tail end of our island hopping and it was the perfect place to wind down in Papeete! Lots of parking, close enough to downtown area, great pool and beach setup as well as a nice lagoonarium. The room was very spacious for 4 and had a huge balcony.

Overall good
Overall our stay was good. The pool area was great with a large palapa that kept our fair skin out of the sun. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom towels need to be replaced. They were extremely frayed and worn.

Anniversary vacation
We stayed for 8 days. The room was spacious and clean. Beds and pillows were firm. They had an on site restaurant that had a variety of items to choose from. It was on the water front. The gardens around the hotel were beautiful. Nice pool with a view.

Great location and beautiful surroundings. Walking distance to Jojos pizza and food trucks :)
Watching the sunset on the beach right at the hotel was also very special!

They have tried to update the rooms - the bed was comfortable and room in decent shape, though the shower head is very old and placed very low. I expect that in the past the grounds were nice but they are now quite overrun with chickens and roosters and what once might have been a pretty pond and stream running through the property has been left stagnant. There is no useable beach and what bit of sand is there is littered with bottles and waste - I realize that the hotel doesn't control what washes up on the short but I would expect that they have their staff clean it. The price is reasonable so this might be a place to stay if you just need a night between flights or are not planning on spending time at the hotel during the day.

Overnight stay after late flight
Arrived late flight en route to Moorea and needed a night stay and it served the purpose. AC worked well, bed was comfortable. Shower a bit dated and no washcloths but very acceptable for a one night stay. No elevator to 2nd floor made it difficult with heavy luggage.

Need an extra key and key to the gate. Location is fantastic with Dalia and Carfour & Papaeete nearby. However….
Breakfast was not good at the Hotel. Food was old and not freshly cooked. I only took three bites. I don’t normally complain… I just don’t return.
