Papeete Hotel Guide - Parc Bougainville hotels in Papeete, French Polynesia.

"We spent a total of 6 nights at the Kon Tiki before and after a cruise. On first arriving in the middle of the night there was a mix-up with our room category which the reception staff could not fix without the manager's approval. Instead of an ocean front room we were given a room at the back with a view over a container depot. This was not the fault of the hotel but Expedia who provided incorrect information about our booking. Upon speaking to the manager the following day we were moved to a very nice room with a view over the harbour. The manager was extremely helpful and rectified the problem promptly. On our return to the hotel following the cruise we were treated to a free buffet breakfast which we assume was by way of compensation for the mix-up. We ate almost all our meals either in the cafe on the ground floor or at the restaurant on the 7th floor. The cafe was delightful and provided high quality light meals and good coffee. We enjoyed nightly drinks on the terrace outside the restaurant and excellent food from the tapas menu. The restaurant manager was very charming and helpful. All hotel staff were excellent. The hotel is opposite the ferry terminal, and it is a short walk to the shipping terminal from where our cruise departed. The immediate vicinity of the hotel was a little underwhelming but we were able to walk to the market, a pharmacy and a supermarket. Any downside was more than compensated for by the excellent quality of the hotel and its convenience. "

"Staff were great"

"Very nice hotel. Friendly staff."

"Extra towels particularly hand towels would be nice. There were two bath towels only."

"This is a great location to get to the Ferry…the Breakfast is wonderful. Most of the Staff is very good. The bedroom and all is clean and good. I had a problem with my bed it seems like there are wires out and when I got up I got hurt in my head from the lower bed… this was my third night there and this is the first time it happens… they need to check on this… I also had a problem with a Staff Member… sometime in the future I will let them know… other than that is very good"

"Walked off the cruise ship and right to our hotel. "

"Location was great for our purposes. We had a cruise and wanted to be within walking distance of cruise port, market and things to do without a car. We did end up renting a car for one day tonexplore the island and having parking was a bobus."

"Wonderful appartement in central Papeete. Could easily walk to all city locations. Parking and WiFi very appreciated. Laurine and her team kept us readily informed and made the arrival process very easy. Clean and comfortable place to stay with amenities. Would have appreciated some updated kitchen utensils, but we made it work. Kitchen cabinets are somewhat “used”, but had no affect on our stay there. VRBO site lists as one bath AND one W-C. Very confusing as there is only one bathroom with only one W-C. This was no problem for us as we were only 2 guests. Manual located in the apartment listed everything necessary, however, we did have a power outage during a storm. We did not know how to restore the electricity. The next morning, I asked a kind neighbor about it and he showed me where the breaker boxes were located (1 flight up) so we could reactivate the electricity. Perhaps this could be included in the manual. Overall this is a prime location if anyone wishes to stay in Papeete. I would highly recommend StayInn vacations and Laurine if you are looking for a place to stay in this paradise. "

"Apartment was lovely. Short walk to many amenities. Lucie was exceptional to deal with and extremely helpful. Take a circle island tour with Charles - very informative. Would highly recommend a stay here. We would definitely stay again. "
