The bed was very hard, two nights of terrible sleep. The toilet is so high that when I sat down my feet were a few inches off the floor. Bathrooms are tiny.

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

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

Staff is very accommodating and friendly, However, the rooms are small, bathrooms are tiny. Shower had no water pressure whatsoever. In addition, our room smelled like brined fish. I’m glad we just needed to spend one night.

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.

Liked: Staff & service
Conveniently located to the Pier which was great for us coming off a cruise. Great places to eat near by. The staff was very friendly and graciously agreed to keep our luggage at the hotel for the entire day while we did a bus tour of the city and surrounding area. The hotel looks modern and the rooms are very nice, We had two issues with this hotel that is impacting our rating. 1. Our room was facing a bar and it was extremely noisy until about 12:00am. I’m sure we could have gotten another room if we asked, but by the time we got back to our hotel room after dinner we were too tired to even consider moving to another room. Anyone going to this hotel with similar time constraints might want to ask for a room on the other side of the hotel away from the bar. Our second issue was that a very big cockroach entered our room. After I killed it I called the front desk to ask for support. We were concerned that we may have to deal with this issue all night. The person at the front desk said that they would come upstairs to take a look and they never came.

Vehmia is customer service rep whose attitude is poor. She is and was not helpful and on the second day we were locked out of our room, she showed very little concern while helping us. I trekked backed and forth three times trying to open the door and she finally sent maintenance to open. No apologies or anything to demonstrate their concern for the problem at their facility. Location of hotel is ideal however staff lacks what it takes to ensure best customer services.
