Mildew and Maintenance Issues

As others have mentioned, this hotel has strangely poor maintenance. Our original room had such a terrible mold/mildew smell that we asked to be moved. (It also had a broken refrigerator cabinet - very shoddy). They only moved us after sending up custodial staff to confirm the odor, which seemed odd. The new room was much better, but still had some condition issues I wouldn’t expect at a hotel of this price point (eg, gaps in flooring). At check in we requested a taxi for 6am since we had an early flight. On check out, the receptionist had clearly forgotten and we ended up in a bit of a bind since there was another guest who was also headed to the airport and the traffic starts around 6:15am in Papeete. We ended up finally getting a cab around 6:25 and sat in tense traffic on our way to the airport. It worked out but we were pretty worried. I wish I had a better experience — we loved the pool and the outdoor ambiance was really lovely. But I probably would not stay at Te Moana again.

Not a great stay. The rooms felt worn and outdated, and there wasn’t much to do on-site. We tried walking to nearby restaurants and places, but access was quite limited. Hospitality and service were minimal — one night was enough for us to rest, but we wouldn’t come back.

We are very happy that we stayed at Te Moana. It was clean, beautiful and the staff were extremely friendly! The grounds are lush and beautiful with the pool and ocean area a main highlight! We enjoyed the meals and loved the beach bar area. We felt that we had a wonderful retreat there! The taxi rides to and from the airport and papette were about 30$, and worth not having to rent a car.

DISAPPOINTING. 3 days to fix the ac. Entire restaurant was reserved for a private party one night. I had to go off site to eat. At checkout they offered to give me back the tip $ I had given to waitstaff rather than any reduction in the room charges. It's hardly fair to punish the bar staff for poor management choices.
