Pros:

Great location from the ferry terminal. As a solo traveler I felt safe and comfortable. Staff was always helpful and accommodating. The queen cabin room was sufficient for what I needed for the evening. The outdoor lounge area was pleasant and overall relaxing. The shower/toilet rooms are individual. There was a bar next door they played fairly loud music however, I didn’t hear a thing from my room. They have limited 10 parking spots off-property, and it’s first come first served for a small fee. You can easily walk to the Papeete market or the shops in the area.

Pratique, mais à prendre comme une auberge de jeunesse ++
Pros:

L’emplacement : à proximité des roulottes pour le dîner, et face a la gare maritime pour se rendre à Moorea.

Cons:

Nous avons logé en cabines : cela fait penser à une auberge de jeunesse, le calme dépend fortement du voisinage.
La lumière de la commande de clim est dérangeante pour dormir.
Les conduites d’eau de douches de la chambre du dessus nous a réveiller à 5h du matin.
