The restaurant staff was very rude and unfriendly. Didnot understand or didnot want to understand the foid order. When we had told her about mosquito bites ,she replied, " its all in your head, there are no mosquitos here "

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Time for a revamp. Property has the 60’s/70’s feel to it. We chose to stay here to see the black sand beach and it was a nice sight to see. Staff very friendly and restaurant was great as well with free live entertainment! I can’t get over the spaghetti bolognese! Soooo good and we've even been to Italy!

Overall good property, basic but very clean. Quite far from the city centre by busy street.Water front but no view, only in the restaurant. Nice swimming pool and beautiful ad well kept grounds.Food was excellent for lunch but disappointing at the dinner time.

I love the pool. I love the view. It realy needed some up dating. Some tree trimming and bushes. Very out dated. The price was great for no more than we were there it was ok. If you're only staying one night I would recommend it more than that no.

Large open beautiful gardens and waterfall/pool. Access to the clean beach and ocean. Nice patio/bed/bath! Gal at the reception was very friendly and spoke English well. Waitress at the breakfast buffet completely ignored us the entire breakfast, but waited on tables that arrived after we did. Not sure why.

Good hotel for a good price

I wasn’t looking for a luxury hotel for the price of around a $100 USD per night so this hotel served its purpose well. It helped I had a rental car (free parking), used the beach and the very nice pool they have, and room was comfortable enough and had a hotel safe and fridge so was fine. Only things I didn’t like were the shower and shower head (too low for me as I’m very tall) and only French tv, wouldn’t mind just having CNN or at least one English Channel as an alternative since I only know a little bit of French. I didn’t try the restaurant so can’t comment on that either.

I like that the hotel was next to a beach, but unfortunately due to my late arrival I didn't get the opportunity to see or walk on the beach. It was a quiet hotel complex, but I didn't like having to walk by myself late at night through an open area to locate my room. I was not familiar with the hotel and the path was not particularly lit very well. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom needs updating.

Never again

Poorly advertised as close to the airport with a shuttle. Hotel is in a really, really run down neighborhood full of graffiti with kids roaming the streets at 1:30 in the morning and plenty of roosters to keep you awake. Built in 1967 and hasn't changed much. Not ever coming back, probably a no star hotel.

As most others have expressed its a much older property. I'm sure this was the place to be back in the day. If you're looking for a resort to spend the entire time I'd stay elsewhere like the Hilton or Intercontinental but if you're looking for a nice clean place to rest & relax our room was spacious and the beds extremely comfortable! (Please note- The pool is closed for refurbishment until May 2023. We never got to try the restaurant. They were having a private party so it was closed for a few hours. We tried visiting after it opened to the public but it was confusing where to go, we tried asking a few of the staff but they got irritated with us asking so we ended up leaving and ate elsewhere)

We arrived late and were greeted by an employee. That was nice that they waited for us due to a delayed flight. We had a hard time with communication but got to our room ok. The next morning as we checked out and asked for a shuttle we discovered we were charged for transportation we didn’t take. We looked for our name the night before as we asked for transportation to the hotel but we never saw anyone waiting for us. Our name was not in any of the signs. We only found out that they charged us because we were told they were there to pick us up but we never saw them. We never received any reply to our request to begin with prior to our trip. With that said, the shuttle to take us back to the airport was very accommodating and even took us to do some shopping as my luggage didn’t make it with me. The stay was alright and the breakfast was expensive for only being basically a charcuterie board type breakfast. I don’t think we will ever stay there again though based on this experience.

We booked a day before arrival as we were transiting. We booked specifically for the pool after a hot couple of weeks sailing. After booking I received an email the pool was closed but I could cancel within 7 days, I received this hours before our checkin. By the time we were aware of this there was nothing left in Papeete we could book. We arrived to a construction zone, the room next to ours was having the tile hammered up and the pool area was closeby and noisy. There was no where to sit and relax besides the chairs near the front desk. The beach is not a welcoming beach but a narrow slip leading to the water, there was a lot of garbage on the beach. I understand this is more of a locals beach. The front desk receptionist was awesome. She really did try to make things work for us including giving us an early check in, which I believe is how we ended up with a room being renovated. We were exhausted and needed a quiet place to land to sleep and cool off, she truly did try her best for us. Having said all of the above I think once the work is done and quiet is once again offered this would be a wonderful place to be. We simply landed with a calamity of errors.

Induction Stove issues

we booked a kitchenette as we expected to do alot of our own cooking for breakfast and the odd dinners on their existing induction stove along with their cookware which turned out to be very antiquated with many blisters including a major warped bottom on the only fry pan .... Their maintenance person and service person came to our room only to find out thet they were clueless when it came to replacing the frypan with another pan that was not compatible for an induction pan. I tried to explain that it would not work with the induction stove.....2 hours later they still couldn't understand what I was saying and then they finally left and ...we had to cook with only a microwave. So what did they do for compensation?....they offered us 1 breakfast ...a continental breakfast at that!.... especially when they were setup for omelettes and sausages...etc.... How CHEAP can you get!! ....they finally returned a day later and got us a frypan that was worst than the original one !!!!....so yes ...I was VERY disappointed by their service and their cookware and lack of kitchen basics ...IE paper towels, tin foil, plastic icecubes, opener, they have the bar set low....cheers!
