This property was closed when we visited, we were moved to the Sofitel private island resort. I think we would have preferred this option over private island
United States of AmericaFree pick up service for Dinner Free Kayak rental included in the booking. Comfortable Bed. Food was not so bad like I did previously read in reviews.
SpainWe liked being on the main island of Bora Bora and not at the resorts that require a water taxi/shuttle to get to the main island. We rented scooters and were able to explore the entire island. While we ate dinner at the Sofitel, we were also able to shop at the Chin Lee store for snacks. The property is very close to the famous Matira beach with the local fav of "snack julie" food stand.
United States of AmericaGood breakfast, complimentary drinks (including beer) in the minibar every day, comfy bed, nice beach.
United States of AmericaLoved the staff and the room was beautiful. Food was great and the views were unbeatable! Would definitely stay there again!
United States of AmericaThe staff was really nice and friendly. Everytime we had any concern, they offered help and an excellent predisposition. We enjoyed breakfast very much, it had a great varíete of things to eat. The common spaces of the hotel were very beautiful (swimming pool was amazing, restaurant and bar too).
ArgentinaExcellent staff - very friendly, willing to share information even related to other hotels. First free mini-bar experience in my life...lovely treats from time to time and transit fee is 1/3 of intercontinental's but even better service and small gifts. Definitely a top pick after staying at different resorts in bora bora. We also got free upgrade to Sofitel private island due to renovation at Marara.
CanadaStaff are exceptionally hospitable, very accomodating and easy to talk to if you have any request.
AustraliaThanks to the Maitai team who were nice and helpful, we rested well.
