Pros: The location is only a short walk to the ferry, cruise terminal, markets, restaurants and shops. If you are only sleeping there and can sleep through pumping music until the early hours it is convenient. If you want to enjoy any amenities like a restaurant for lunch stay elsewhere
Con’s:
There is no place to hang whilst you are waiting to check in. There is a coffee shop on ground floor. But I don’t travel to Tahiti to expect that is the only space available.
We had planned to go to the restaurant for lunch but it was closed for a private function
The lobby is a small area crowded with dozens 100? Bags stacked up waiting to check in or depart.
We were told firmly check in is 3pm so your room can’t be ready until then. Really? at the stroke of 3 they will wave a manic wand and every room will suddenly be cleaned!
There is no pool.
The rooms look out to the Road and commercial terminal blocks most of the view we thought we’d paid for.
The lifts are crowded with locals? Visiting the roof deck which was so loud into the morning we couldn’t sleep.
A fun and friendly, family-oriented pension with great breakfast and a relaxed atmosphere with pleasant outdoor spaces, clean bathrooms, and equipped shared kitchen areas.
They had some really great dishes in the restaurant. The rooms were reasonably good and most of the staff were very pleasant. If you visit Tahiti it is a good idea to practice your French as it appears to be the primary form of communication. One thing we noticed was we understood there was a shuttle to the cruise ships and this communication was reversed so we paid for our own shuttle.
