Lovely hotel. Rooms are cozy, but clearly recently remodeled. AC works great. Walking distance to cruise port terminal. Literally two blocks door-to-door! Note: If you have a CPAP bring an extension cord. Outlets are few and far between!

Check in a little slow, only able to provide one key. There was a kettle in the room but only ONE instant coffee. We requested more from the front desk and it never came.

What a wonderful staff! Just delightful. The room was cool and comfy, except for the height of the toilet! Both of us had our feet dangling, which made everything very awkward.

The hotel is in a prime location in the heart of Tahiti, with everything within easy walking distance. The room was overall very well maintained. The only downside is the nightclub or live bar next door—you’ll get free music until around midnight, which may or may not be a perk depending on your preferences.

The room seemed clean. Our room had a REALLY terrible smell. I’m not sure if it was a dead mouse or what but it was pretty bad. Seems like the housekeepers would have noticed it before checking someone into the room. I’m not sure if we got unlucky or if all rooms have a terrible smell. We only slept & shower here. Staff seemed nice. Check in & out was really smooth. Elevators were very small.

We stayed here one night. It is right across the street from the cruise dock. It is in a very convenient location. The standard room was extremely small. There was no place to put luggage and there was no luggage rack. We had to put our luggage under a built in desk. Very few accessible electrical outlets. One plus was a washer and dryer that was free and if you didn't bring detergent you could purchase it at the front desk. I have to add I couldn't figure out how to run the washing machine and needed help from a hotel employee.
