Great location, about a 10-minute drive from the airport and right behind the ferry terminal. The reception staff were friendly, and the showers and toilets were kept clean. The Polynesian Cabin double room has a bit of an odd layout since you have to climb a ladder to get into the bed. Overall, it’s fine for a one-night layover in Papeete.
Very clean room and facilities, friendly and welcoming staff, roof top bar was a lovely bonus

So easy after a middle of the night arrival and a middle of the night departure 10 days later. We moved to the main Kon Tiki hotel rooms which were stunning inbetween staying at the cabins.

Perfect 2am landing pad. Everything we needed. Beds so comfortable. Firm but soft. Would stay again in a heart beat.
Tiny room, wonderful bed, great shower/bathroom facility. Worth a one night. Staff friendly and great! Would highly recommend and we are 82 years old.

The air conditioner was broken down couple of time in the night. We hope to get to bed earlier for tomorrow’s activities, but we had to stay awake for the technician to come which took almost an hour at 8pm. And the air conditioner kept shutting down couple of time in the middle of the night, which made us awake a couple of times in the mid night!
