This is a beautiful, quaint property with a wonderful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and the staff was very helpful arranging tours and making suggestions of fun things to do while in Rangiroa.

3 stars is adeguate for the service. Nothing particularly wrong but you feel the difference compared to higher rated resorts

Nice location, bungalows and overall setup

Stayed in September 2024

Not a lot of privacy as the bungalows are close to each other

Location, pool and view. The service was very nice.

As above, prices are high, floor in cabin was a bit broken in parts. Water went off one afternoon. No table on the deck outside the cabin.

The infinity pool is gorgeous, the views over the ocean are incredible! The snorkelling off the pier is first class but the ladder is tricky even for young healthy people, I would suggest they replace it with one that’s easier to navigate. Great to have a bar with nice cocktails (albeit a bit weak) and lots of good food options (albeit a bit expensive) when there is nowhere to eat or drink really on Rangi. Loved my garden hut even though the floor seemed a bit broken and the water went off for a while. I would definitely return and would book a lagoon-front cabin and stay for longer next time.

Our room had a hundred or so "mini ants" all along the baseboards so I had to ask for bug spray and essentially fumigate the place. Room in general wasn't very clean in the less obvious areas like corners of rooms, etc. Breakfast was average. No gym or exercise equipment.

Property has a pool overlooking the lagoon. Snorkeling was quite good nearby. A/C in the room was great to have. Bed was comfortable. Resort is walking distance to grocery store close by and about a mile walk from local wine tasting tour.

The Maitai at Rangiroa has a beautiful spot on the water front with a clean pool to cool off in if you don't fancy getting in the sea. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and happy to assist with anything. The hotel is very well presented with panoramic views across the ocean from the restaurant, bar and decking area. We were in a semi-detached bungalow which was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The hotel prides itself in caring for the environment and ensuring no resources such as water and electricity are wasted (as should be the standard everywhere!). We hired the bikes to ride the entire 9 miles of road the island has. The bikes are not anything special but more than useable! There are also kayaks available, all at extra cost. The bar is well supplied with a number of cocktail options on the menu. The restaurant has a small variety aimed at mainly local dishes which is refreshing to hotels trying to cater too generically so it was good to not see burgers and pizzas on the menu! Note that this is a very quiet island, with one lovely taxi driver! There are a handful of hotels, Snacks and Fares. It is also home to the only vineyard in French Polynesia which is worth a visit as they have wine tours most afternoons. The island is very different from others in French Polynesia which makes it very unique. The scuba diving is phenomenal if you are competent enough and get an opportunity to dive the Taputa Pass. The hotel offers tours to other parts of Rangiroa, such as the Blue Lagoon, Bird Island, Pink Sands etc. We would definitely stay here again should we be lucky enough to return as it facilitated everything we needed in Rangiroa. There is a handy supermarket just next door to the hotel to buy water as it is not recommended to drink from the tap on Rangiroa.

Overpriced cocktails, much less portion but much more expensive than the bar in Kia Ora. Food is good but overpriced even for Tahiti standards. No water bottle after the first day or no place to refill the water. Neighbor of the hotel is not very friendly, yelling at us to leave the shoreside. Breakfast is very average.

The room is comfy. Adorable wildlife. Beach side is good.

Bikes and kayaks need to be replaced.

Great location. Nice staff. U need the AC

The wifi was great in the restaurant/pool/front office area, and really poor out where the rooms are. They could benefit by having that improved across the property. Also, the pillows are really, really lumpy. Bring your own or just be aware. Also not impressed with the price/value for breakfast buffet.

The Maitai has a great location right next to the airport, with a general store/market right outside the main entrance - very handy! Also had a fun little family-owned restaurant right across the street from the market that has good burgers and pizzas. The hotel itself is nice, the rooms are very clean, the grounds are maintained daily, and getting things like scooters was easy - just get the card for the scooter rental at the front desk, whatsapp the number on the card, and the owner will deliver them and pick them up right at the hotel!

It would have been nice to have other dining options within walking distance. It wasn't clear what the best way was to get from the airport to the hotel. We were glad that a driver met us at the airport even though we hadn't requested (they had our name) - it's best to pay the driver directly v. the hotel as it's less expensive.

The hotel was close to the airport and there was a small grocery store next door. However, there was only one dining option aside from the hotel restaurant/bar that was in walking distance (across the street). We saw fish w/o even having to go into the water, though you could easily walk into the lagoon and snorkel off the small beach area from the hotel! You could see fish from the surface even when in the pool!

Tea was not always replenished in the room and only one vegetarian option available.

Pool is amazing. Wife LOVED the blue sky mocktail!!!!

The bicycles at the resort need to be upgraded. The are very old and not equipped for the rough roads. Also the price to hire the bicycles is too high. If they are keeping those bicycles, they should be free of charge. The wifi did not reach some of the rooms

Friendly staff, lovely rooms and great pool. The staff helped us book trips and answer any questions

The only thing remotely negative about this place was that the bed was very, very hard, so it flared up my wife's back.

This place was gorgeous and amazing and the staff were extremely friendly and so very helpful. They arranged the airport transfers and taxis to anywhere we needed to go. They even saw me hobbling and brought me crutches to see if they would be helpful.

Dated rooms with old linens and shower curtain. Construction noise as they work on some of the rooms during the day. Food was ok, not great. Weak wifi in central area, no wifi in garden rooms. Bed is two uneven singles pushed together.

Friendly and helpful reception staff.. pool, pier and dining area are nice. Good location to access airport. Helpful to arrange excursions.

Really good value for money.

The costumer service quality was mediocre, you can tell that they do not care about their clients. The rooms are old but enough for a one day stay.

Close to the airport

Stayed in June 2024

Great location (3 min from airport), newly renovated bungalows with spacious bedroom and comfortable bed and good fresh bathroom. Bar and restaurant are offering a great view on the sea and swimming pool. Good food with normal prices. Hotel offered also rental bikes and excursions. Just perfect to relax.

Great location, nice infinity pool with the sea view! Good breakfast and amazing restaurant for dinner! Food is really delicious. Very nice personnel, always try to help if you need something! Good snorkelling just nearby the Hotel's beach.

Stayed in April 2024

The water is not drinkable, so you need to buy water for drinking, teeth brushing, etc. I would expect them to provide bottled water. On the plus side, there is a store under 100 meters away.

Excellent hotel with an equally excellent restaurant on-site. I also spent a lot of times at my friends hotel, the Kia Ora, and we both agreed that the Maitai was nicer at half the price.
