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

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

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

Excellent location. Entire facility looks new and clean. Given our 5am airline arrival, we really appreciated a very early check-in, which was not expected but really made our jet leg day!

Very nice and clean room. Super convenient to the ferry and the staff arranged a very early morning taxi for us to the airport. Highly recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location! We landed, took a taxi to this hotel with others and paid $13, went to the hotel. Next day, we walked to the ferry dock (literally less than a 5 minute walk), and went to Moorea! Best location.

Express - like it says on the tin

The room was compact but clean and well organised. Shame that the view was obscured by metal decoration over the window. Hotel - Very small lounge area, meagre breakfasts. No other food. This is not a hotel to linger in. Friendly helpful staff. Great central location close to the esplanade. Potential for noise from local bars beneath. Expensive for what it is but reasonable for Papeete
Sue, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel to stay at near the ferry, it is only a 5 minute walk to get to the ferry (just across the street). The room as very cold A/C which is nice. The rooms are a bit on the small side but very modern, new and clean. It is also a few minutes walk to the main outdoor market in Tahiti which is very convenient.

Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Can get a little loud at nights from nearby restaurants.
Bradley, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk was awesome. He was able to get us checked in a bit early and was very helpful. It was a short stay but perfect for what we needed. The room was a bit small but served the purpose
Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We just stayed at Mai Tai Express for a few hours because we had a very late flight out but our original hotel could not extend our stay and we just needed a place to be able to rest and shower. It was the perfect respite for those few hours.
Richard, 1-night trip

Small room, might not be comfortable for longer stays. Close by to lots of bar and restaurants which is great but can be loud overnight.
