We stayed two nights before taking the ferry to Moorea. The hotel is a short walk to the downtown (5-10 minutes, maybe 15 to the Papeete market). Affordable, clean, good AC and staff was helpful.

Great property on the beach, make sure to bring water shoes as the coral is sharp and is mixed in the sand. This property is close to everything worth seeing and about 20 mins from the ferry dock and 30 mins from the airport.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel itself is a “No frills” accommodation but you can’t beat the price and the location. It’s an easy walk to get to so much of the things to do/see in Papeete.

Sarah Nui is a nice budget hotel. Personnel are very nice. The Ferry Harbor is very close. Wi-fi did not work in the room but was fine in the lobby. Water in the shower was a bit cold. A good experience overall.
