Hotels in French Polynesia

The bungalow by the ocean with full view on sunset was just incredible. The room is in fact a small studio equipped with everything you need (beg bed, air-con, full kitchen incl. a dishwasher) and a great terrace. The strong wifi signal and free-of-charge canoes were a nice surprise.

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.

Loved our stay here. We were able to check in early and they stored our luggage for us after check out so that we could stay until the afternoon. Kitchen is pretty well equipped, bungalows are clean and get daily housekeeping which was appreciated. We also rented a scooter for a day for a reasonable price. Beautiful beach and sunsets with some kayaks to explore the surroundings.

Great people, breakfast included, nice outdoor kitchen and good bathrooms. good recommendations from hosts. You better have a rental car or scooter to explore the island, but hosts are happy to help and have special offers. Very nice beaches nearby with good snorkeling.

My beach bungalow was gorgeous and very comfortable. The staff was lovely and made me feel like home. There is a snorkeling spot nearby but I was happy to see rays and sharks at the beach in front of the hotel. The common spaces are gorgeous and it was nice to have a shared kitchen to meet other travelers. I loved this place.

Very clean property with spectacular view. Restaurant is the crown! Service was excellent!

Very nice beach, garden bungalov was amazing, breakfast was perfect

Beautifully decorated and comfortable surroundings. The attention to detail was incredible making you feel that you truly were in paradise. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

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

The friendly manager took care of all our needs including medical emergency. The whole staff was very attentive and efficient.

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 concierge was very friendly and useful to help us booking taxi for the next day. Clean room, we felt really welcome. We also had the experience to be helped by the students who worked very efficiently. Pity we only had a night in Papeete so we didn't experience the sea (we could see it from the balcony, wow!)
