3-Star Hotels in Windward Islands, French Polynesia

We chose this as it is close to airport but, it's on a hill on the other side of a major intersection of 4 lanes. Once you get over street they direct you to walk down two sets of steeps stairs....we had a large heavy suitcase plus it was raining very hard that morning to the airport, drenched to the bone. Theh had a few food & snack items to choose from to buy from a machine.The room was great, ac worked good and it was very clean. But seriously they could make a good deal of money if they had a driving service to take you to the airport. It's about a 16-18 minute walk and as I said it started pouring on us, we had no umbrellas. Luckily after getting checked in we walked over to airport so we would know how to go. We left at 5am still dark , there were some night lights thank goodness, but as we were walking fast when we were coming up to a change in sidewalk I tripped on the curb and ended up spinning my knees , hands ,and face when I fell on the cement. Not there fault but if they only had a shuttle that could have been prevented. Thank God when we got down to airport the workers noticed I needed help and took me to get attended to. Actually they wanted me to go to hospital but, I refused. They did get a wheelchair and take me and my husband to get checked in. The Airport workers Get a perfect score!

The ferry terminal to Molea Island is just across the street. The Tahiti Market is a 7-minute walk away. Nearby are also a pearl market, a famous church, and museums. A taxi from the airport takes 11 minutes and costs $22. The facilities are complete and clean; the only drawback is the shared restrooms and showers. The 8th-floor terrace offers sea views.

Pros: The location is only a short walk to the ferry, cruise terminal, markets, restaurants and shops. If you are only sleeping there and can sleep through pumping music until the early hours it is convenient. If you want to enjoy any amenities like a restaurant for lunch stay elsewhere Con’s: There is no place to hang whilst you are waiting to check in. There is a coffee shop on ground floor. But I don’t travel to Tahiti to expect that is the only space available. We had planned to go to the restaurant for lunch but it was closed for a private function The lobby is a small area crowded with dozens 100? Bags stacked up waiting to check in or depart. We were told firmly check in is 3pm so your room can’t be ready until then. Really? at the stroke of 3 they will wave a manic wand and every room will suddenly be cleaned! There is no pool. The rooms look out to the Road and commercial terminal blocks most of the view we thought we’d paid for. The lifts are crowded with locals? Visiting the roof deck which was so loud into the morning we couldn’t sleep.

Very nice and helpful stuff. Great location to walk everywhere in town. Very clean rooms. Amenities basic but sufficient.

They had some really great dishes in the restaurant. The rooms were reasonably good and most of the staff were very pleasant. If you visit Tahiti it is a good idea to practice your French as it appears to be the primary form of communication. One thing we noticed was we understood there was a shuttle to the cruise ships and this communication was reversed so we paid for our own shuttle.

Cook's Bay Hotel was perfect, with a separate bedroom and living area with kitchen. The grounds were beautiful and the restaurant was great, though all prices other than food trucks and snack restaurants are expensive. What set the property apart though was the warm and welcoming staff at the front desk. They went above and beyond to help me secure the tours I set up., including calling one to find out why they were late. The front desk staff is a real asset and I hope they are valued by the management for the service they provide.

Decent place in a nice location but the reef has been mostly destroyed near the resort. The biggest problem was that the water was not drinkable (so also not suitable for brushing teeth)! At this price I would expect basic things like this to be in place. I ran out of water one night and had no way of getting anything to drink without walking for over an hour to the nearest water station. The staff were nice but the food was uninspiring and overpriced. The rooms were simple but OK.

Location is one of the best in Moorea for sunset and locals. Keep in mind that you should have a scooter or car to get to NIU! Taxi is too far and too expensive. There is a scooter rental 5min away. NIU super new. You can hear the ocean at night if you want. Supreme! The check in was lovely … the receptionist was lovely and friendly. The female manager a bit snobby (sorry to say). Try the „poisson cru“ at „O2“ restaurant near by

Wanted to see about staying a few extra hours in hotel and willing to pay for the 4 extra hours I had a medical issue that I need to test a few hours before getting on plane. Willing to pay the $60 to stay a few more hours and was told $60 was only for two hours that to stay the extra 4?hours would be a full night charges. The hotel with out a heart

I booked this for my client who was meeting a Cunard ship the following morning, and this Hotel is perfectly placed for this. Nice and central - very clean and comfortable - and my client reported that they staff were helpful too. I will utilise this Hotel again.
