    Overwater bungalow with many fish around it, and the beach.

    The overwater bungalow doesn't have direct access to the water - you have to walk long way to get to the beach. Also, the bungalow doesn't have a glass or partly glass floor. Security is very poor - a lot of local people wandering around bungalows.

    Superb

    The over water bungalow we stayed in was amazing. The views over the water and the coral reef were superb, we literally had our own natural and private aquarium. The bungalow was kept at a high standard and was serviced and cleaned well everyday. Staff were generally very lovely, albeit a little laid back. The French waiter in the ocean side restaurant in particular was great, very attentive and incredibly nice. All the food had in the Meridien was good. Great to have Booked.nets and snorkelling equipment available (free of charge) to guests for exploring the coral. :)

    Eating in the hotel was a little expensive - $46 for a breakfast buffet in particular seemed extreme, particularly compared to other items in the hotel that were far more reasonable.

    Exclusive

    The staff were incredibly gracious people and went out of their way to accommodate us. The waters were beautiful, the views spectacular, and if you can afford it you must stay in a bungalow. Pure decadent pleasure. We especially like the hotels "transition" room for freshening up and relaxing as we arrived at 6:30 a.m. (with a 2:00 check in) and had an 11:00 p.m. flight but an 11:00 a.m. check out! Wish all hotels offered this service.

    The restaurant buffet was just OK. Breakfast was nice but the evening Polynesian dance fare was very lacking. Food was cold and poorly prepared. We ate at the local restaurants around the corner, which were very nice. And asking the guests to pay for the expensive shuttle into town seemed a bit much at a 4 star hotel.

    It was an amazing place with lots of amenties. Wonderful beach and pool. The staff was very nice and accomodating. Would definitely stay again.

    There is no shuttle service on sundays and it was a bit inconveient.

    Very good

    l'hôtel a un bon prix, comparé aux hôtels de cette catégorie qui sont dans d'autres îles. il a la plage et la piscine (petite plage de sable blanc, à tahiti sont de sable noir et pas aussi beau que le reste de la Polynésie). bon rapport qualité/prix. nettoyé chaque jour, nous sommes venus de l'expérience de la perle de tahaa, qui ne nettoyait pas en quatre jours, et quand je suis parti, j'ai été facturé en 50 dollars, et le propriétaire m'a dit que le client doit nettoyer !

    absence de machine à café ou de bouilloire électrique dans la chambre

    L'excellent personnel Surtout dans les cantines

    La chambre de mon premier séjour était sur la terrasse avec de l'eau et des lotus, il avait une mauvaise odeur et j'ai donc été placé dans une autre chambre loin de la terrasse qui était très bieneeEe.

    Piscine parfaite ! . Très bon entretien

    C'est loin du centre-ville. Mais c'est très calme, ça dépend de ce que vous cherchez.

    Fabulous

    Excellent hôtel pour passer un séjour tranquille à Papeete, avec une belle piscine de sable, un grand parc et une petite plage, qui ne sont pas abondants sur l'île. Le service est généralement acceptable, bien que le personnel ne soit pas réputé pour sa cordialité.
