“This hotel evokes a sense of Polynesian nostalgia with its sixties-era ambiance and a lush tropical garden, complete with a small river teeming with eels and turtles. Its proximity to downtown Papeete and the black sand beach make it convenient, while the transformation into a Tahitian dance venue in the evenings is a distinctive touch.
