Not the most comfortable choice due to area it is in. Being an old hospital converted into accomodation makes it a bit spooky. The room albeit clean was full of stains and holes on the walls plus the bed was not very comfortable. Staff were very nice and helpful on check in and booked a taxi for us.

Our stay was exceptional. Worth every cent. We also knew what we were getting into… yes, an overwater bungalow does come with a cost, but it’s the experience you’re paying for. Whether it’s on your bucket list, you like to walk out your door and into the water to snorkel, the views, the privacy, it’s all worth it.

Our first floor room was absolutely horrible. The shower head was caked in mold/mildew and I saw 3 cockroaches hiding in the shower and drain. The hotel staff moved us to a third room floor, which was slightly better. No cockroaches, but the bed linens were clearly used before with hair and dirt under the top sheet. Spend a little more and go anywhere else but here.

Worked for our day-use needs.

Stayed in Moorea all week and came over to Tahiti on the ferry. We booked room for same day stay for a few hours while waiting for a 11:30 pm flight out of Fa’a,a International Airport. Good place to rest, take a shower, check emails and catch up with the world waiting to fly back to CA. Fridge and A/C worked great. Hotel close to the ferry terminal. Room does needs a bit of updating, some of the broken furniture needs replacement and updating. The room worked well for our day use needs while waiting for our flight, we did not stay overnight.

This is a very disorganized , tired, old hotel charging excessively high rates for sub standard amenities and services. Maximizing $ return from awkward airline schedules and lack of competition. One staff member particulaly abbrasive and unhelpful at checkin and when towels were requested this is a basic expectation . Water pressure was pathetic , shower was basically a trickle. Avoid if you can.

bonjour, hôtel tout à fait correct pour un passage à Tahiti (un point pour la gentillesse du personnel) néanmoins, une isolation sonore des fenêtres pourrait être souhaitable car nous étions coté centre ville et le bruit des scooter la nuit était dérangeant pour la nuit. cordialement
