The place is nice and has an amazing rooftop bar and restaurant. We stayed one night after coming back from bora bora. Most people go to the airport hotels but I wanted a small night life.

Friendly, helpful staff at Reception. Comfortable bunk bed, near bathroom facilities. Good breakfast, no hassle, would definitely recommend to other travellers - good central location almost opposite the inter-island ferry terminal too.

I wasn't sure what to expect with a community bathroom but I can't complain. Everything was great, right across the street to take the ferry.

Inexpensive cabins (hostel like). Clean washrooms down hall and nice dining areas. Across from ferry and short walk to cruise pier.

The cabin was fine for a night and the hotel was in a good location. Overall recommend. We had a little disagreement with the way the Reeftop handled a situation but they are independent from the hotel.

We spent several hours here to wait for our late night flight back to LA after coming back from Bora Bora. Nice place to take a shower and rest instead of spending many hrs at Tahiti airport.

Great hotel near the cruise port, 6 minute walk. Very small rooms but the place was clean and they have a cafe on the ground floor and a restaurant and a panoramic bar on the 8th floor. For one night, I highly recommend. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful.

Noisy until the nightclub next door closes at 5am. Don't feel like the sweat if areas. Fine for a one night stop if you're heading to the ferry terminal early in the morning.

Polynesian Cabins by Kon Tiki is very clean, well organised and a great concept. Shared bathrooms were very clean, the bed was comfy and check in by staff at around 3:30am was quick and painless - so much better than trying to navigate a self-check in at that time. Rooms are small and have no windows but as they are clean with a great bed, I had everything I needed. Would recommend.

The cabins are VERY small, but the loft bed was very comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean, but very hot. Was grateful for a/c in our cabin. It was fine for one night, but wouldn’t do it again.

We stayed on the 1st floor. The 8th floor has a rooftop bar. We could hear the deep bass sounds from the music the ENTIRE night and into the morning when we left at 5:30am. Having said this, the upside was that the hotel staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful. It was also prefect for a one night stay as the price was right. The room was very small but it was perfectly appointed with super comfortable bunk beds, TV’s, outlets and extremely clean.

The staff is wonderful!! Probably the most welcoming hotel I've ever stayed in.
No complaints whatsoever.
Comfortable cabins, economical with everything you need for a good night's sleep in a minimalist space. Breezy outdoor patio/lounge for when you want to spread out. Check out the artwork on the walls, the indoor fountains, the green walls.
Walking distance to all downtown facilities & attractions.
Didn't eat at any of their facilities, can't offer an opinion.
