This was my second stay here for another short layover. The room I was assigned this time did not have a fridge, unlike my previous stay. Still, it was fine for a short layover.

Great location, about a 10-minute drive from the airport and right behind the ferry terminal. The reception staff were friendly, and the showers and toilets were kept clean. The Polynesian Cabin double room has a bit of an odd layout since you have to climb a ladder to get into the bed. Overall, it’s fine for a one-night layover in Papeete.

So easy after a middle of the night arrival and a middle of the night departure 10 days later. We moved to the main Kon Tiki hotel rooms which were stunning inbetween staying at the cabins.

The air conditioner was broken down couple of time in the night. We hope to get to bed earlier for tomorrow’s activities, but we had to stay awake for the technician to come which took almost an hour at 8pm. And the air conditioner kept shutting down couple of time in the middle of the night, which made us awake a couple of times in the mid night!
