We booked this hotel for the proximity to the port for our cruise. The floors were noisy. Our bathroom had one shower door that covered a quarter of the distance. Breakfast was limited but good. My bed was so comfy, but the other one in the room was not.

Nothing special. Fine for a 1 night stay. No phone in the room, toilet wouldn't stop running, random lamps with dirty lampshades, pillows uncomfortable. Felt like the room was like staying in a boat. If you are on holiday for a while, don't stay here.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel itself is a “No frills” accommodation but you can’t beat the price and the location. It’s an easy walk to get to so much of the things to do/see in Papeete.

Great property on the beach, make sure to bring water shoes as the coral is sharp and is mixed in the sand. This property is close to everything worth seeing and about 20 mins from the ferry dock and 30 mins from the airport.
