    We enjoyed our 2 stays at Fare Suisse. Beautiful, friendly place with plants, birds and cats.

    Had a toilet in one room that needed work to keep from running constantly. It got fixed well enough. Beautiful location but steep. Lots of stairs though not an issue for us.

    We appreciated being picked up at the airport and later driven to the ferry. We liked the breakfast and dinner though at extra cost. Staff was friendly, rooms were comfortable, great view from patio.

    Great Value, Clean & Comfortable Accommodations, Personable Hosts

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The internet isn't exactly robust - doesn't work in the rooms (you need to be in the common areas, e.g. restaurant), and even then it was hit-or-miss. And, in keeping with French Polynesian norms there's no TV in the rooms (came to find-out that most Polynesians don't watch tv so "when in Rome...").

    Value - very good "bang for the buck" compared to larger, name hotels (which are further away from Papeete City Center - which was very walkable here). The name is a bit deceiving - I expected a bed & breakfast but instead it's more of a small (I'm guessing 25-30 rooms) European-style hotel run by Beni & Therese (the husband & wife owners). The on-site restaurant was also my go-to for breakfast and 2/3 of my dinners (I wanted to eat in-town at least once) - very good breakfast buffet, with dinners ranging from pizza to fondue to seafood (all at very reasonable prices).

    My friend has some mobility issues and we were not fully warned about the number of steps/stairs.

    I loved the casual, friendly atmosphere of the dining terrace. The rooster and hens were entertaining. The menu was limited but good. I particularly liked the cosmopolitain atmosphere (with no other Americans!!).

    Could have had a room towel refresh each day. Expanding internet to the rooms would been a great addition. Additional fans or air movement in common areas would have been nice.

    The service was very good and the place was busy. Great value and comfortable. They picked us and dropped us at airport which was excellent. The roosters work us up at night. 😀

    Could have been great to have wifi in the room as well, coffee machine/water boiler for tea in room? Also would have been good to receive more recommendations on what to see/do instead of the card board.

    Location; very close to city center and the seaside park; very clean and freshly nicely decorated room; beautiful terrace in the green and transfer free shuttle to and from airport is a plus. Love the baking of Berny fresh bred and brioche
