Hotel berhampiran Fautaua Waterfall, Papeete

Was fantastisch, erg vriendelijke mensen, maar: ben de 28e uitgegleden door een waterkek van biven af douche, mijn pols behoorlijk ( in ieder geval) gekneusd, werd niet serieus behandeld, handdoekhe neer gelegd en ik moest smeken voor ijs om te koelen ( man) Een van de vrouwen gaf me wel ijs Nu; 1 week later: kan mijn hand nog steeds niet gebruiken Ook: lekkage in de dorm, idem Wordt niet serieus genomen, ook daar maar een handdoek neergelegd en na weer benoemen: niks, dus zelf maar droge doeken gepakt en de doorweekte in hen hok gegooid Erg jammer, want was verder goed Had uiteraard gelijk een dokter moeten laten roeoen en hen katen betalen, achteraf gezien Nu: mijn bikini broekje hangt er nog, willen ze niet even opsturen, zelfs niet als ik betaal Vervelend allemaal, want was verder uitstekebd, alhoewel ik het enige krakende bed had en 11 nachten niet heb geslapen

We were sent here by Air Tahiti Nui after they cancelled our flight, but this is a boutique hotel with only 22 rooms and Air Tahiti Nui sent 10 parties of people here 🤯. Of course none of this was the fault of the Maitai, and their staff was sooooo understanding of our situation. Not only did they get on the phone multiple times with Air Tahiti Nui to make sure the people they could not fit got accommodation elsewhere, they actually called the other accommodation to make sure they really had room for us! For me, the best customer service comes from people who truly care about people, regardless of whether you are a customer yet. Thank you Maitai staff for going above and beyond to take care of a bunch of tired folks who just wanted to get some rest after a frustrating experience. We will definitely visit next time we are in Papeete!

Stayed here for a night prior to flying out the following morning. They helped arrange transportation to the airport for 21,000 CFP per person. The room was comfortable and there is AC. There is instant coffee provided as well as a mini fridge and safe. The WiFi was really slow in our room, so that was the main complaint. There is a pool and a view of a black sand beach. There’s a restaurant on site and breakfast starts at 6:30am. We tried to check out and they knew that we were leaving at 5:50am as they informed us upon checkin in, but there was no one at the front desk to check out with. We were able to settle everything after we left over email, but we just wished someone would’ve told us that the front desk would be closed because we spent 20 minutes trying to call someone while our driver was waiting to take us to the airport.

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.

If you’re wanting a spot where you’re solely using it to recharge (sleep/nap) and go back out to explore, this is perfect. It’s in a good location and right across the street from the ferry if you’re looking to visit other islands. I booked a single room, no windows, with a queen size bed. Having never stayed in a place like this, I was skeptical of the shared restrooms space but the staff is constantly cleaning this space. I never saw a restroom in bad shape. It also has a place for dinner on the 7th floor and a Reeftop Bar on the 8th floor. On top of the amenities it offers, the staff here are super helpful and friendly. I was slight worried about traveling here solo with the language barrier but they were definitely some of the friendliest people I met while here.

Wanted 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

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.
