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.

The Kon Tiki cabins are a test in sensory deprivation.
Pros:

The hotel staff were super nice and the location to the ferry was perfect.

Cons:

We had no idea the cabins were so small and we would need to climb a ladder to get to the bed! There were also no windows, which made the space very claustrophobic. The pictures shown when booking are deceiving and we would have paid more for a normal room. My boyfriend called the room a sensory deprivation chamber.

Pros:

Nous avons passé une nuit en Cabine Polynésienne et franchement, pour le prix, il y a quand même de l'espace pour les affaires etc.
Les douches et WC sont très propres et régulièrement nettoyés.
Juste en face du port et du centre de Papeete.

Pas de point négatif particulier
Pros:

Bonjour et Merci, nous sommes des locaux habitant Moorea, et ;être obligés de dormir sur PPT, n'est pas simple; toutefois l'établissement nous facilte l'hébergement. Je recommande pour ceux qui viennent de Moorea et plus encore.
Bien à vous.

Cons:

Les heures de pointe pour l'accès aux bar est un peu grasstique, mais la gérance des va-et-vient son fluide, donc;sans plus de commentaire.
Merci.
