This property is dreamy. From the moment we were picked up, until the time we were dropped off, the staff was simply amazing. They went out of their way to make sure you were having a trip of a lifetime.

Katherine United States of America

The hotel staff was always friendly. The activity desk offered helpful information about all available tours. I booked the Reef Island Tour and did a snorkeling excursion. Both of them were fantastic. The hotel buffet style breakfast was one of the best I had during my whole trip through French Polynesia. They were the only hotel during my stay which also offered fish, rice and salad for breakfast. The sunset view was pretty amazing.

Jan Germany

Loved our beachfront bungalow, especially sitting out on comfy loungers on our deck overlooking the gorgeous water...a 180 degree view of everything. The grounds are lovely, also.

Geraldine United States of America

great and friendly staff; very well maintained bungalows and grounds; lots of readily available water sports equipment and well located for our SCUBA excursions. Really would hope to get back some day!

Richard United States of America

The location, service, facilities were all outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Especially the lead manager for the front desk. She was wonderful and very patient with all my questions.

Michael United States of America

Kia Ora was an amazing place in an amazing location. We stayed in an over-water bungalow and loved being able to swim off our deck and enjoy our privacy. The location is close to some of the best dive/snorkel spots as well.

Ej United States of America

hotel arranged everything needed - transportation, tours

Kaire Estonia

Superb service, good food and beautiful rooms with easy activity scheduling onsite. The hot tub on our deck overlooking the lagoon was awesome.

Sally United States of America
