"This hotel is fit for purpose - the staff is super friendly and reception is staffed 24/7 due to the many late arrivals into Papeete airport. They have a fridge stocked with useful drink and food items to purchase at okay pricing.
The room is dated but again, fit for purpose. There’s a fridge, kettle and coffee and tea (no milk).The aircon works well too.
It is right across from the airport but DO NOT attempt to get there without a taxi. It used to just be one steep climb up from right across the airport but this has since been closed off. Having to walk all around the hotel and accessing it from the back with no clear signage and a steep climb up and then very steep downhill climb again to reach the hotel with a heavy suitcase is really unsafe.
Taxis are not cheap but you have no other options! Expect to pay 2,000 XPF for a 2 min ride and make sure you have that handy in cash.
To get food you’d have to take an expensive taxi again - round trip with the airport being the closest option. The hotel offers breakfast and cup noodles to use with the kettle in your room."
"In the mornings we put the sign on the door asking for having the room cleaned, and when we returned to the room, they had already cleaned it. The staff were very friendly at all times. On the last day our departure flight was scheduled for midnight so we requested to stay in the room until 6:00pm since we had nowhere else to go until the flight back home. The reception staff and manager were so kind to us, and extended our check out time from 11:00 am to 6:00pm for a fee of $250. That made it so easy for us to spend the whole day at the resort, and be able to have our room available to us until it was time to take a taxi to the airport. It was very helpful to us. The room was spacious and had a beautiful ocean front view. We also loved the adorable cats and a cute little dog at the property. That made us feel at home. We will return and visit again one day. It was a blessing to be there."
