10/10 Excellent
"Killer AC, which is so welcome when it is hot and humid outside. Good location, short walk to ferry and cruise terminals, the famous market, other shopping and awesome Rapido Pizza. Extremely friendly and helpful front desk staff make it both a breeze and a pleasure to stay here. Just wish they’d put out some breakfast, as they did a couple years ago."

10/10 Excellent
"We both loved the cabins and the whole concept. We were please to discover an open air area on level 1 where there are comfortable sits couches and can relax and make a tea. We visited the bar at the top- we don’t drink but the 180 view of the port was amazing. The best was to didcover a Michelin chef restaurant where we had a fabulous dinner. There is also a coffee shop downstairs. So no need to walk in the night anywhere all is available there for an evening arrival. They also ordered a taxi very easily ( btw taxis take only cash in Tahiti and we paid around 30$ to go to the airport. We had two large beds in bunk - fun. The space I. The cabin is very small but There is a number of full bathrooms available in the corridor outside the cabin so no problem- also there are US plugs and the color lighting is fun in the room. The pictures do not represent the atmosphere with clean modern and well designed spaces"
