Great location

This hotel was clean and quiet and had very nice staff. The location was amazing being so close to the ferry terminal and walking distance to the marche.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The entire property was clean, well-maintained, and inviting. What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Their warm and accommodating attitude made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Looking forward to coming back!

Great transit hotel

The hotel is very convenient to downtown Papeete and across the street from the cruise terminal. We stayed one night between our flight from US and early morning flight next day to Bora Bora. We stayed again 2 weeks later after exiting our Paul Gauguin cruise before flying home. It is just a few blocks walk to the Market.

10/10 Exceptional

A great way to start our French Polynesian trip

Great location near the seaport and local market. Very friendly staff who accommodated an early check in and smile warmly every time we see them. Breakfast options were wonderful as I love plain real yogurt and it was plentiful here. The bed was exceptionally comfortable with high quality linens. Lovely hotel.

You'll like this hotel

We stayed there 4 night 2 weeks apart. It's a great hotel right in the middle of the cruise port area. The rooms were small by American standards, but immaculate and comfortable.

Nice Hotel with Incredible Staff

Our stay at the Maitai Express Tahiti was great. The staff were some of the friendliest and helpful of any hotel staff I've ever experienced. The room was clean and comfortable. If we ever make it way back to Tahiti, we would definitely stay at the Maitai Express Tahiti again.
Bryan, 1-night trip

Brenda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Loren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

MaiTai Express Tahiti is the perfect spot to unwind after a long international flight or before catching a ferry. The location is great, especially since it’s just a short walk to the famous market and plenty of places to eat. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff kindly let me store my luggage after check-out so I could explore without worry. I’d definitely recommend this place to fellow travelers
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
