Pension pare lodge

We had a comfortable stay here prior to catching a ferry the morning after arriving in Tahiti. The room was clean and comfortable, and the fresh fruit and pastries for breakfast were delicious.

The room and bathroom facilities were clean and the bed was comfortable, but no drinking water or tissues were provided. The continental breakfast was good, but it ends at 09.00 hrs, which strikes me as rather early for holidaymakers. No other meals are offered, so guests are obliged to go elsewhere to eat. I walked to the supermarket and bought food to eat on my lanai, but there are also food trucks about a 15-20 minute walk away. Twice during the morning of checkout a maid tried to enter my room without knocking. Fortunately I lock my doors, so she could not get it. No staff should enter any room without knocking and there is no need for cleaners to knock on guest goors before the 11.00 hrs checkout time.

Spotlessly clean, beautiful grounds, incredibly welcoming staff, and one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in many years. Thank you!

The staff were excellent and Louis, the manager, is very attentive.

Not a place I would ever stay again. Only stayed one of three nights booked. Of the two lights in the ceiling only one worked. No desk lights or table lamps. No desks or tables or chairs in the room. Very small very cramped. Very little room to hang clothing. A shower was an open area in the toilet room. No tissue to blow my nose. Very limited counter space and virtually no cupboard or closet space. I did ask the proprietor if he would consider refunding half of our payment since we only stayed one of three nights. Received no reply. This might be your go to place if you have very little belongings, have no need for the downtown area, and just want privacy and want to read a book. This would probably be a good spot. Not what we came for. Also this is not a place for people with walkers or wheelchairs. Uneven surfaces, steps to climb, no handicap accessibility. Additionally the slate stone sidewalks can be treacherous and slippery when it rains. And it rains a lot in the summer.
