"My husband and I recently stayed at this Tahiti apartment for 3 nights prior to a cruise. I actually booked 4 nights so that we’d be able to check in at 7 am after a very early flight arrival. We rented a car and the apartment was easy to find with the instructions that were provided beforehand. Julie (host) met us at the apartment at 7 am. She walked us through the complex and apartment and provided us with elevator tag and gate remote to the parking lot as well as provided a code for the door. After resting a bit from our overnight flight we set out to a grocery store very near the apartment which was great. Upon returning we were unable to gain entry with the door code so we contacted Julie who let us in remotely and used the actual key for the duration of our stay. Never did get the code to work. Also, I think the battery to the gate remote was dying as sometimes it took a little for the gate to open but eventually it always did. The location of the apartment is convenient to the park just down the road with the food trucks, the grocery store, the marina where there’s restaurants and to the airport. Driving to and from Papeete was no problem. We had an excellent view of the marina and the island of Moorea. Sunsets were beautiful from the balcony. We did use the pool in the afternoons and found it to be very refreshing. We found the apartment to be clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our time here."

"Stayed 6 nights in an overwater bungalow as part of a long trip to the islands of both Hawaii and French Polynesia. Service provided by our assigned concierge, Kea, was better than any butler service I have had over the years at other luxury hotels. The property is lovely and well kept. The bungalow was spacious, updated, and clean. Unfortunately there were a number of things that diminished the overall experience. First, the noise. I’ve stayed in overwater accommodations previously in The Maldives, Indonesia, and Colombia. I am currently at the Intercontinental La Moana in Bora Bora in an over water bungalow. It is serene and wonderful. I anticipated a similar experience of serenity and tranquility in Tahiti. But, instead, I had to listen to very loud music and announcements that went well past 10PM at night. Having traveled the world over the past 35 years I always have silicon ear plugs to dull the noise. Even with the earplugs, however, it was still loud. Some of the noise came from nearby but much of it was from the Intercontinental. In French Polynesia the year round humidity is between 80 and 90 percent. The average daily temperature hovers around 30. The fans in the dining areas were not sufficient to provide a comfortable dinning experience — even in shorts, tank top, and flip flops. The food was mediocre including at La Lotus. WiFi in room was ok but was not available in the gym and other areas of the property. This hotel pales in comparison to many other resorts."

"Front desk staff was friendly and helpful "

"We were really enjoyed every minute our vacation! The staff were excellent! I would like to say special thanks for help my request ( birthday surprise) to Maima. She did a great job to prepare my husband surprise present. The room was spotless the restaurant was great. The bar was fun,many nights were live music on. The beach and the ocean were clean and gorgeous. The place was overall our expectations. We spent more than a week in the bungalow. Highly recommend this place."

"Honestly, I was a single guy at this resort. I am soooo relaxed after just a few days. Everyone was amazing, made me feel welcome and well taken care of."

"Dated Meals restricted to certain times."

"The hotel appears to be fairly new. The room smelt of fresh paint, clean and a good size. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom and kitchenette area was a good size. The location is approximately 15 minute taxi drive from the airport, which was perfect, especially with an early morning flight. The only disappointment is no onsite restaurant. Recommendations were suggested by hotel staff, with a mobile pizza stand just next door. If arriving late at night and travelling alone, you won't have far to walk."

"Location and view from property were great (about 3 miles to “downtown” area). Follow directions and photos from host to find place or you won’t! Good kitchen amenities with induction stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and all cooking necessities. Hot water in kitchen sink is beyond scalding so beware! Dryer did not work right. Parking is tight but accommodates 1 medium size vehicle. Road leading to property is rough but our Citroen made it but not paved all the way. A/C is a mini-split in bedroom and efficiently cools room. Overall, property is comfortable but needs some much needed general upkeep & maintenance (some of the windows, dryer, Pool is not heated and more of a soaking pool and needs some resurfacing on bottom & the plants cut way back as view is blocked of Moorea mountains from pool. Host responded quickly to all questions."

"Our hosts were so gracious and greeted us with flower lei. They showed us how to access the property and gave us a tour. The house was well appointed with all types of cooking utensils and dishes, plus a huge pantry full of spices. The house was clean and beautifully furnished. If you are looking for a wonderful ocean-front home in Tahiti, this is it! You can swim from the beach fronting the house all the way out to the outer barrier reef. The listing says it has one bathroom, but it actually had two full bathrooms. One bathroom is brand new and located steps from the house. It clean and spacious. The guys all chose to use this bathroom and the girls used the one inside the house. It was a perfect set up."
