Pros:

Held luggage during early check in first floor had a nice outdoor space to wait or there's a restaurant next door. Great location on the main Boulevard across from the ferry terminal. Rooftop bar had good happy hour with pizza. Stayed in a cabin for one night and it was perfect bathrooms are shared but the toilet shower and sink are in private rooms.

Hermoso y práctico
Pros:

La ubicación, frente a la terminal de ferrys para ir a moorea. Fue mi prioridad y honestamente no me arrepiento de nada. Éramos dos y teníamos una cabina con camitas separadas, es extremadamente pequeña pero nos manejamos bien. Es un hostel al final del día pero era la partecita “privada”. La cama era SÚPER cómoda, todo muy limpio, las instalaciones, los baños, tiene un pequeño patiecito de zona en común que estaba súper bien equipado y era muy bonito. El rooftop fue genial y era una súper oportunidad para conocer gente. Me encantó la experiencia, de hecho cuando volvimos hacia Tahití la repetí porque fue todo genial

Cons:

Las cabañitas privadas eran demasiado pequeñas

Pros:

Cute hotel, clean and looks brand new. Excellent restaurant and rooftop bar. Staff is super friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

If you’re staying in one of the cabin rooms, I would recommend asking for one with the lower bed. The loft beds are very high up and can be difficult to climb, especially if you are older or have any mobility issues. A fall could easily result in a serious injury.
