Hotels in French Polynesia

Tena korua Marie raua ko Ronnie Everything Marie is exceptional she keeps the place running smoothly and clean and tidy. Staff are so friendly and helpful, the cooked meals are huge enough for two meals. Swimming and location beautiful, accomodation spectacular views and Marie so insightful placed me at end bungalow. Ronnie organized the tours who picked me up at pontoon literally around the corner. The most memorable was taputapuatea Marae highlight and Faaroa river ride Havana tours uplifting nga taonga tuku iho o nga tupuna. Also Ta'aha tour Vanilla, Pearl and Rum farm and bonus snorkeling coral reef mama also whipped up a kete and potae for us to take home from coconut leaves. Amazing location, beautiful people, quiet and tranquil and healing and spiritual. Nga mihi

We didn't have breakfast there.

We were at several resorts and this location sits on probably the best spot opposite the mountain. It’s modern, smart designed, with clean and light bungalows, ours with plungepool. The staff, both young French and Tahitian were enthousiastic, interested and competent. The layout of the resort is efficient and makes best use of the view. Some of the cocktails of their own design were delicious and the food allowed for both fine dining or a cheeseburger. Frankly, it was like one imagines paradise could be. It’s a long way from Amsterdam or Paris, but worth the miles. The weather this November was very sunny.

EVERYTHING!! Having travelled extensively for 30 years, this is one of the most amazing places we ever stayed! The views, the water, the friendliness of the staff, the cute and beautiful bungalows (fully a/c), the waterside porch, the beach, the quietness and serenity of the of the place, the multiple restaurants in walking distance… everything was perfect!!

Loved the hosts, so helpful and kind. They really made me feel welcome during my stay.

Great location, beautiful room, amazing staff, great facilities. Perfect.

Amazing views,comfortable room,friendly helpful staff

We stayed here for four nights as part of our honeymoon trip and it was magical. Staying in one of their overwater bungalows, we were transformed into paradise, with direct access to the lagoon where there were so many different type of fish (size colour and type!) for us to snorkel around and explore. The resort itself also has a private beach, spa, three restaurants and two bars. There is also opportunities to do water sports and this is the closest resort, to the ferry station, with overwater bungalows. The staff were incredible and we couldn’t have asked for better memories from our honeymoon. Thank you for everything - we hope to see you again in the future

Convenience to town and restaurant and breakfast.

This is a very small (5 bungalows as far I know) hotel and ours was just beautiful. The entire place is very tastefully decorated (mixture of local and European styles) and just the thing of you adore beautiful surroundings. There is a large deck right over the lagoon with more than enough sunbeds, tables for all the guests (no fighting over the best sunbeds necessary). The shallow reef is wonderful for snorkelling, with corals and fish right there. In the evening, sharks and stingrays swim by. There are also kayaks and snorkelling gear for rent - a popular stingray spot is not far away. The location is beautiful and the deck means boat excursions can drop you off or pick you up right there. There is one well-stocked general store nearby and nice restaurants doing delivery. Staff was amazing, too! And the wifi was about the fastest in all the islands.

My stay at Maitai Lapita was an absolute highlight of my French Polynesia trip. The hotel and bungalows are beautiful and have a very authentic feeling to them. The little beach and restaurant have the best views of sunset over Raiatea and breakfast was great. What made is most amazing was the extremely hospitable staff, especially Vaea, who was extremely helpful and organized very special activities for me. Her kindness and warmth will stay in my memory and I would love to come back one day :)

Really nice place. super cheap with sea view and air con etc. really nice staff and good breakfast.
