Hotels in French Polynesia

The hotel is brand-new which means that the bungalow was pristine clean and super modern while embracing the traditional design and decorations of a Polynesian fare. We had our own spacious 1-bedroom bungalow with kitchen ans living room facing one of the most beautiful beach in Moorea. The location is pretty awesome! We loved the fact that we could just borrow kayaks and paddles to go and explore the lagoon - it’s easy to go to the Tipaniers beach where the stingrays and sharks can be seen.

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.

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

Beautiful location right on the beach and near local shops and restaurants

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.

Everything was fine for my short stay.

On one of Moorea's most beautiful beaches, in a wonderful park, extremely cozy bungalows with good snorkeling facilities!

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.

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! The host was incredibly hospitable, maintaining excellent and prompt communication throughout. The cleanliness was impeccable. We appreciated the early check-in after a long trip. I'll certainly be recommending this hotel to others and eagerly look forward to returning myself!

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 :)

Excellent staff, perfect for a layover
