This is a decent property if you are looking to stay for an early ferry ride to Moorea. We were 2 people staying with 2 suitcases and the room was a bit cramped. Great for just overnight stay. It is right by the ferry port and next to many stores and restaurants. I would give it a 4 out of 5 because of the size of the room.

The front desk was awesome. He was able to get us checked in a bit early and was very helpful. It was a short stay but perfect for what we needed. The room was a bit small but served the purpose

The hotel and rooms were beautiful. Staff was friendly and very helpful. My only complaint would be the parking which is a five minute walk from the hotel in a gated lot. This means you need to have your car stop at the hotel to unload/load any heavy luggage, and then hope that it doesn't rain while you walk to/from the lot.

We were charged $568 for two nights instead of the $541 on our reservation, with no explanation. The lights in the room didn't work when we checked in so I had to make 2 trips to the front desk and back up the elevator to place a card into a slot. The bathrooms are too small. The television remote's batteries were dead. The staff was very friendly. I think the value here is questionable so I'm not sure I would return.

Stayed there for one night prior to boarding a cruise ship which was a short walk away. room was very basic but perfect for one night. The bed was comfortable; and the room had been updated and included a modern shower. A small continental breakfast cost extra but was worth the convenience. All this plus a very friendly staff made our stay perfect

After cruise stop

Quiet, very clean and well maintained. Perfect location for cruise passengers—just across the street. Lots of restaurants in nearby but none so special. We paid $100 to check in early. About 20 minutes from airport.
