Hotel Maitai Polynesia

We stayed here for 2 nights and our only complaint is that we wish we had longer! Stunning hotel on a lovely beach. we had a king ocean room, which was spacious, clean & had a great view. The staff were so kind & friendly everywhere we went. The food in the beach bar was great too, my daughter loved the spaghetti! There is a lovely little bit of coral reef off the beach which was ideal for little swimmers! Lots of fish! We also saw a few rays swim along the shore. The location was great for us too as we could walk to shops & Matira beach. Definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking to spend less than the huge fancy resorts that are just not necessary in French Polynesia, the islands speak for themselves. Would return here for sure if we come back to Bora Bora!

The hotel is in a great location, walkable to Matira Beach and a market that was well stocked. We really enjoyed the complimentary use of their kayaks. Allowed for a spontaneous adventure and a great way to spend time on the water and snorkel! The rooms were functional and spacious, however did feel outdated and not a 'luxury' feel compared to other accommodations on the island. Certainly more budget friendly compared to luxury stay, but we had a great experience and thought it was a good value for what we got in a good location. The service was also excellent - every staff member was accommodating and helpful during our stay and with questions leading up. Transportation from the airport and to our other hotel in Bora Bora was a breeze!

Affordable rooms in Bora Bora. The rooms and the views are amazing. The location is pretty decent. I never ate at the restaurant there. There’s good restaurants nearby. Walking distance to a small shop / market. Rent a scooter to get around.

Good location and was the best budget friendly option for us. Pros: they have a good variety of tours which are the same price of booking independently with the ease of picking you up from the hotel dock. Cons: The service can be much better for the money you pay. We had to do two separate bookings due to flight changes from air tahiti, and the hotel staff didn’t even accept our offer to “downgrade” the room so that we do not have to switch rooms for one night. For food we only had breakfast, and it could be done much better as well. The transport going to the hotel from the airport was in a very old dingy bus with two other hotels, which does not justify the price you pay for the transfer a single bit.

The hotel was very nice. We stayed at overwater bungalow. It’s perfect vacation. So quiet and private. Water so blue and clean. Breakfast was great. Everyone so nice there. They have kayak and paddle board for free.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel right by the beach and there's an activity booking agency next door though you can book activities at the hotel reception. Welcoming and friendly staff. There's a restaurant on site and a little bit down the street. Markets are within a five minute walk. To Vaitape it's about 11 mins by car.

What you don't see in the pictures is that the Beach bungalows are located right off the road, with only a wall in between. It's quite noisy. We moved to an overwater bungalow to get some peace and quiet. Great snorkeling water, friendly staff, breakfast is really bad but the food in the beach bar is nice.

Best hotel around if you’re on a budget. The bar/lounge/buffet area was great. Rooms are ok, but everything else more than makes up for it.
