Restful night!

Great stay. Beautiful grounds, pool was prefect. We only stayed here one night on our way to Moorea. We loved the room although the bathroom is a little dated. The bed was super comfortable. My husband agreed we had a great night sleep, plus it was very quite. We would stay again.

The first night was in a run down room, but we stayed a week later and it was a very nice room, though the shower tub could ise updating. A nice though expensive breakfast buffet. The restaurant is a beautiful setting with tahitian vibes on the shoreline. Good food and good bands playing with locals dancing on weekends. Nice little pool, but very friendly and helpful staff. Overall, a less expensive option that worked fine for quick stays.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Good price. Day staff ok. Night staff non existent. Guard didn’t speak English. Arrive at 10 pm. No water to purchase at desk and none in the room. The A/C was not on in the room and it was HOT! A/V needed room key in the slot to work. Took Hours to cool off. Walking to our room was through the grounds and no lights nor directions to buildings. Lots of stairs to room. Nice beach front with restaurant. Ok for a short stay. Hotel arranged a transfer from airport for a fee. About 15 or 20 mins with no traffic. I would not choose again. Bite the bullet and pay the big bucks.

Lovely grounds and good sized clean room however, a dated property. Restaurant is very over priced for limited buffet breakfast and evening meals. In residential area with few choices for restaurants. Staff was not overly helpful, dont know if that was a language problem.

Très très bon accueuil et excellent lunch et diner

L'accueuil du personnel est parfait que ce soit à la réception au services ou au restaurant. Le petit déjeuner est copieux, frais et excellent, la restauration de très bonne qualité. Les chambres mériteraient un petit rafraichissement (rideaux marrons....) Nous gardons un très bon souvenir.

Stayed for 2 nights before our ferry to Moorea. We loved the pool area, very pretty & great place to chill after our long flights from the UK. Room was clean beds comfy. Breakfast was really nice & the lady that is there in the morning seating people & taking payments was lovely. All the staff were friendly & helpful. Great location for ferry & airport too. Only thing we found was food in the restaurant was quite pricey. But overall we enjoyed our stay & would definitely stay again when in Tahiti.

I had a lay over stop on my way to New Zealand, and the hotel was a nice stay, The staff was nice and friendly and my dinner was good. I didn’t have a change to walk around the ground because it was a storm off and on during my stay. But they did provide large Umbrella to move around the area.

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.
