The place is fantastic. Super nice staff, very supportive with individual request. They store your luggage after check out & gave us the opportunity to shower before heading to the airport. Great service!
Rooms are spacious enough for 1-2 persons if you stay only 1-3 nights. Our beds (especially pillows, sheets and mattress) were super comfy and we even had a little fridge in our room. There are no windows in the cabins but the AC is doing the job
First we were but concerned about the shared bathrooms & restrooms. But no need! You find bathrooms (men & women are in separate aisle) with a shower (equipped w shower gel, shampoo & conditioner) incl a toilet and sink on each floor and you simple lock the room once you need to use it. All is really clean. We also liked the design of each area. The rooftop bar offers a big variety of drinks and some snacks. Fantastic view
The Kon tiki is also very central. In front of the ferry terminal and you can walk „downtown“ for shopping, eating etc
If we come back and need accommodation for a couple of nights, this would be our choice
Big thank you again to the team 👍
It's a piece of paradise, unbelievable service, every person who works there is helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure you feel at home .. definitely recommend staying there. You can snorkel right there - the bungalos are on the edge of a small coral riff
A particularly touching hotel experience!
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and we suddenly needed to buy daily necessities urgently. The surrounding shops were basically closed. The front desk staff learned about our situation, discussed with a staff member who happened to be off work, and actually gave us a free ride to a 24-hour store that was not nearby. The supermarket, which is open for hours, bought the daily necessities we needed and then sent us back.
I have personally experienced that the people of Tahiti are extremely honest and warm-hearted!
Huge room but space not used efficiently. Bathtub was not properly secured. And shower was inside bathtub. The toilet bidet has to be turned off else it will leak. Location was right in front of the ferry terminal.
Starting from the location, the hotel is about 4 kms away from the airport, and you can hear the planes lifting off and landing. However, note that this hotel does not provide a shuttle service, meaning that you need to arrange for your own transportation - even if you arrive at 3 in the morning, and this means either taking a taxi or renting a car (but the second option won't work if you arrive outside of work hours). The taxi will cost about 20000 XPF, during day time and also if you have a large group of people. Not more. I got scammed by a taxi driver on the night I arrived. Lost about 4.5k XPF on that. Great start to the stay.
The city, Papeete is reachable by walking about 15 minutes along the coast road, which doesn't always have a great pedestrian walkway. This is also somewhat of an annoyance, where the hotel is of decent make, but the environment doesn't match with that.
Next, the hotel staff itself, and the service they provide. It is totally a mixed bag. It horrifies me to say that your experience will be dominated by whom is serving you. Some of the staff are horribly inflexible and utterly arrogant. Others are extremely helpful. And this also applies to the Hilton Moorea, where people won't even rent you a changing room and a towel, even when you have a booked tour with their event providers and the bloody tour starts from the hotel pier.
If the hotel wasn't clean, I would have been very disappointed. The beds are okay.
Tried some facilities, the swimming pool, three of four restaurants and the Spa, and I have to say that everything is exceedingly expensive, but as a redeeming point, the service at these facilities is also rewarding, though maybe not at the level you would expect at this price class.
Overall I consider this place not worthy of being called a five star hotel. Due to my experiences with the staff, I wouldn't even give them a fourth star. The Intercontinental is better altogether.
This hotel is very close to the airport, the hotel can drop off the airport, charges are required. It's about 1500 francs and it only takes 6 minutes to get to the airport. The hotel has a show for breakfast and dinner, and it is still worth seeing. The French restaurant is pretty good.
When you stay at Manaeva Lodge in Faaa, you'll be near the airport, within a 10-minute drive of Papeete Market and Port de Papeete. This guesthouse is 18.6 mi (30 km) from Moorea Ferry Terminal and 2.7 mi (4.3 km) from Marina Taina.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access. Additional amenities at this guesthouse include concierge services, a picnic area, and charcoal grills.
Continental breakfasts are available daily from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee.
Featured amenities include luggage storage, laundry facilities, and coffee/tea in a common area. Free self parking is available onsite.
Treat yourself to a stay in one of the 3 individually decorated guestrooms, featuring outdoor private hot tubs. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include safes and desks, and housekeeping is provided daily.
We had a very nice “luxury overwater bungalow” which was in good shape. The lagoon was a dream, you can directly enter from you terrasse and have plenty of fishes in the coral guarden. Yet we heard many complaints from other guests about the “superior overwAter bungalows” which seemed in not good shape.
Service felt like non-existing, especially as we were in StRegis Bora Bora before. As we and some others were arriving early, they parked us in the lobby area for several hours and also after several reminders did not manage to fill up coffee and water. (This Time could also be used to show people the Ressort or bring them to lunch as other hotels in this price area manage to do).
Breakfast was decent, but again very bad and slow service (with the only highlight being the customer crazy guy preparing your eggs and pancakes, sorry forgot his name he made my day). Getting your coffee or tea might take ages, sometimes not coming at all. They also took ages to remove used plates from tables, resulting in bird invasion everywhere.
Dinner was mediocre at best.
-no gym
-wireless is very bad and slow everywhere
Conclusion: lagoon is very beautiful, but overall experience in the hotel does by far not match the price level. They have to step up a lot!
There is no six-piece airport free shuttle, the rental fee is 30-40 US dollars
Very Good

GGuest UserDefinitely opt for the overwater bungalows. The beach bungalows with private pools were a little worn down. The main pool was closed due to renovations and it was not supposed to be. The renovations were supposed to have been completed before our stay. That was a bummer and all they did was give us a $50 credit.
The lagoon and house reef is spectacular and so full of fish. All not motorized activities including kayaking and SUP are included. Very good buffet breakfast. The service was 3 star definitely not 5 star service. An absolutely fantastic location and go to happy hour for sunset.
DDiWanted to see about staying a few extra hours in hotel and willing to pay for the 4 extra hours I had a medical issue that I need to test a few hours before getting on plane. Willing to pay the $60 to stay a few more hours and was told $60 was only for two hours that to stay the extra 4?hours would be a full night charges. The hotel with out a heart
GGermanTravelerLocation is one of the best in Moorea for sunset and locals.
Keep in mind that you should have a scooter or car to get to NIU!
Taxi is too far and too expensive. There is a scooter rental 5min away.
NIU super new. You can hear the ocean at night if you want. Supreme!
The check in was lovely … the receptionist was lovely and friendly. The female manager a bit snobby (sorry to say).
Try the „poisson cru“ at „O2“ restaurant near by
GGuest UserWas fantastic, very friendly people, but: I was slippered 28th by a waterkey of biff off shower, my neck quite (at least) knitting, was not seriously treated, towels were laid down and I had to pray for ice to cool One of the women gave me ice.
Now; 1 week later: can still not use my hand
Also: leakage in the village, idem This is not taken seriously, even there is only a towel placed and again appoint: nothing, so you are only dry towels picked up and the weak thrown in them hook
Erg jammer, want was verder goed
I should have just let a doctor sweep and pay them cats, seeing them backwards.
Now: My bikini trousers still hanging, they don't want to send them up even if I pay
I was so annoying, for I was still out of bed, though I had the only cracking bed and I didn't sleep 11 nights
AAnonymous UserAbout 10 minutes from the pier. There is a supermarket at the intersection. The room has a microwave and refrigerator. There is a swimming pool at the door. There are free-range strolling chickens in the yard.
