The staff was very helpful from checking in to helping with arrangements for taxis. The rooms were clean and location was central to all the attractions. The breakfast is too costly for what is offered.

Staff are lovely and very kind. The rooms were clean. Close to ferry and restaurants. Lots of road noise, particularly lots of sirens. The toilet, at least in our room, was set insanely high; my feet didn’t touch the floor :). Very convenient though for a short stay.

I was impressed with the Maitai Express. Coming to Tahiti I had stayed in a different airport hotel and was extremely disappointed. I changed my reservations on my return to Tahiti but wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised, it was wonderful. Staff was amazing, cheery & helpful. Room was clean, lovely, soooooo comfy & the a/c worked perfectly. You can't beat the location for ferry to Moorea, cruise ship terminal & airport. Also great options for restaurants & shopping within walking distance.
