"Best part was the location - right across the street from the ferry terminal and cruise port (as well as shopping and food). Room was great. Large and comfortable with a balcony over the street, but dual windows kept out the noise. We didn’t use the restraint, but the casual snack place was good, though pretty spendy (but typical for the area $11 for a beer, $22 for a cocktail). The open air Lounge was nice to hang out in after check-out. Would definitely stay here again!"

Mahana Lodge Hostel & Backpacker"Very clean establishment. Although we booked a night we actually just stayed from 2pm- 6pm following our cruise before our evening flight.

We were not able to enjoy breakfast but used the refrigerator to keep our food cold. Shared shower and bath were clean. Suggestion for a few more hooks on the wall in...

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki"Nous avons loué les Polynesian Cabin. Pour 2 jours ça va mais nous avions beaucoup de bagages et c’est étroit dans ces conditions. Si on voyage léger, c’est plus adapté. L’hotel est excellent et le personnel très souriant, serviable et gentil. Il est aussi très bien situé."
