Hotels in French Polynesia

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.

Amazing location - sunset ocean views, peaceful neighborhood, far from the big resorts Wonderful staff Access to bikes, kayaks, and rental cars Close to stores and restaurants

Location was beautiful. Right on the beach. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable.Maree the owner was lovely and helpful.

Location was excellent. Kitchen facilities were great, lots of fridge space. Coffee in the morning was as bonus. Lots of parking. Kayaks were fun. Snorkeling was great. Lots of room in common areas.

The whole experience was lovely, everyone was so kind! The breakfast was cute, the walk to the beach is just a few minutes up the road. The most beautiful restaurant on the beach with affordable delicious food. I loved staying here and would 100% stay again.

Best location, friendly staffs.

Convenience to town and restaurant and breakfast.

Everything is to like: the place is brand new, in very good taste, perfectly clean, the location is very nice (you can do some snorkeling just there, with a bit of luck you can even spot small cute octopuses 🥰🐙), the staff is very helpful and the Chef very talented, so you need not look any further for a good meal.

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 :)

The location is amazing, the personnel friendly, the property clean.

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.

Great staff, cute and tidy room.
