“The room was reasonably clean, though the walls showed the wear and tear of time. The general amenities were sparse. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but there were few of them so wait times to get help were sometimes long. Breakfast was expensive, and the staff recommended using a local coffee shop for breakfast. The location is right downtown so it is close to places to eat and shops. Considering the cost of other hotels in Papeete, this is a good choice for the cost-conscious traveler.”
“Tea Tahiti is within walking distance to the market, bus station and centre of town. Thankfully the taxi driver knew the property as it is located on a small side street off a main road and the property has no sign (that I could see) to indicate it is Tea Tahiti.
There was some initial confusion about my booking but was pleased to be able to drop off my bag in the morning before reception closed for lunch. The room was clean but had not been renovated any time recently. It was OK for a one……
“It was great place to use as a transient hotel, however, very difficult to walk to from airport. Taxi ride is expensive $20USD for how far they had to go!”
“Great little spot where you have privacy and share common areas like kitchen, bathrooms, showers. The host was helpful and friendly. The pool was great. Peaceful place. We stayed one afternoon-evening before catching our red eye flight back to Hawaii. It was a nice spot to take a nap, enjoy the pool, and freshen up. Would like to go back and check out the tree house! Maybe next time :)”
“The first thing I noticed was that the pillow cases were old and torn or frayed. Not a good first impression. The grounds were nicely kept but overall the property needs some repairs. Staff were very friendly. The food was okay but I would not pay the price that they wanted for the buffet breakfast.”
