10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a prime location in the heart of Tahiti, with everything within easy walking distance. The room was overall very well maintained. The only downside is the nightclub or live bar next door—you’ll get free music until around midnight, which may or may not be a perk depending on your preferences.

Great location

This hotel was clean and quiet and had very nice staff. The location was amazing being so close to the ferry terminal and walking distance to the marche.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The entire property was clean, well-maintained, and inviting. What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Their warm and accommodating attitude made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Looking forward to coming back!

10/10 Exceptional

The stylish Maitai Express Tahiti hotel is an excellent base for exploring the island and for catching the ferries to visit the other islands of French Polynesia. The room was comfortable and the staff friendly and efficient.

10/10 Exceptional

A great way to start our French Polynesian trip

Great location near the seaport and local market. Very friendly staff who accommodated an early check in and smile warmly every time we see them. Breakfast options were wonderful as I love plain real yogurt and it was plentiful here. The bed was exceptionally comfortable with high quality linens. Lovely hotel.

RAINER, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Service was exceptional- especially liked that there was no charge for them to store your luggage and they recommended a great local breakfast restaurant if you didn’t pay for their limited continental. (Cafe Roti). Can beat the location if accessing the cruise terminal.

Terese, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice property but very loud at night, there is a bar/club next to hotel and on weekends it stays busy and loud until after 2am. Everything else about the hotel is good and the staff is very friendly. Rooms are good with great air conditioning. If I stayed there again I would ask for a room on opposite side of building to eliminate loudness
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel in the center of town with a friendly staff. The hotel is itself is very clean and updated. Bed was very hard though and the room was small. The area around the hotel is very run down and parking is difficult. For us it was perfect because the ferry terminal is across the street. For an extra $30 a day you can have secure parking a few blocks away but is very inconvenient.
