Hotels near Raiatea Airport - RFP, Uturoa

We loved our stay at Hotel Raiatea Lodge. The people here are so friendly and helpful and the property is so calm and peaceful. We will come back! Highly recommend getting the breakfast and dinner included.

Very nice people, friendly, helpful, smiling. Small town, easy to find your way. Laid back and easy going. No stress. Beautiful lagoons, vivid colors, fantastic sunsets. Fun to walk through the little town and get a feeling of the place. Great little shop on the waterfront, it's a little French pastry shop called BonApetahi, many yummy delicious pastries made by someone who is very well versed in French baking and using the local aromas to make a delightful union of deliousness.

I loved how chill and beautiful Uturoa is. I rented a car and drove around to see the sites and did a lagoon tour, and I felt like between those things and exploring the small town, it was enough for me. I could've always done another tour or hiking, too.

For me, Utoroa is not really a place to go for tourists but more of a stopover to get groceries. It is hard to get around so you need to hire a car. Check the store hours as they close during the day. There are some walks but it is hard to find out information. Restaurants/cafes are very limited.
