Not generally whingers about things, our stay here was pretty bad and we felt compelled to write a review so that others might avoid the not cheap but definitely nasty experience of Ahitea Lodge.

Firstly, what's good:
- nice pool
- 15 minutes walk from central Papeete

What we didn't like:

- Unfriendly owners / operators who have no problem ripping off guests with hidden or overinflated charges

- Being told that we had to have the most expensive room despite the room we wanted being empty for our entire stay

- Poor value for money (even by French Polynesian standards). Decor is hideous, bathroom is revolting and not clean.

You can definitely do much better than this place. Keep looking for a better option! more
