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.

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.

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.

Great location. Within walking distance to ferry terminal and cruise terminal. Close to waterfront- nice area to walk along. Several restaurants within walking distance for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Staff very friendly- alway ready with a smile. Hair dryers not in room but available upon request. Strange thing - could not figure out how to turn off bathroom light so closed door at night. Also , in our room anyways, both the toilet and the bed were so high lol

Small rooms, but very efficient and clean. Very nice staff who took care of scheduling our taxi for the early trip to the airport. Convenient location, but a bit noisy. There is a rooftop bar a block away and you can hear the partying till the early morning hours. Probably not a problem if you are on the other side of the hotel.
