Staff friendly and helpful. The air conditioner was broken, and they could not fix it. When I Took the time to write the hotel owner to make some price accommodation, he did not respond to my email.

Great location across from ferry dock and short walk to cruise ship dock. Easy walk to shopping and restaurants. Rooftop bar was nice. Great salad in their cafe for lunch. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning in room worked great. But there didn’t seem to be any A/C in the lobby. Would stay there again.

Friendly staff and clean room. The only negative thing is dinner. We planned to get food from the city center, but no umbrella was available for a rainy evening. We were close to getting a taxi and we didn't want to get soaking wet from the rain😓

This hotel was probably quite fancy once but has seen better days. The room was huge but reasonably basic, and the pool was out of order — I got the impression it had been that way for a while. This was really disappointing as we had chosen a hotel with a pool specifically for our last day so our kids could enjoy a last swim before flying home. We ordered a taxi for 6am but it wasn’t ordered and we had a reasonably stressful dash to the airport to make our flight. It also wasn’t a cheap option: there are better hotels in Papeete for the price — check them out first.
