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.

This property is very close to market, cruise pier and ferry terminal. No need to take another taxi to those locations. Hotel room was not large but adequate for a short overnight stay.

The location is very convenient for shopping and looking for places to eat. For cruisers so close to the port. Easy access to the market.There’s a bar outside the hotel that’s noisy from singing and drinking however it doesn’t bother us.

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.

Located across the street from the cruise ship Regatta and in the heart of a bustling area. Clean and quiet hotel, fantastic front desk person and the most comfortable bed and pillows I have ever slept on and I have chronic night pain and had none last night

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

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.
