    Interiors a bit dated, breakfast has some variety but quality not that great

    Great views from the ocean view rooms, cosy private beach with nice views and coral snorkeling, very close to boat rental for coral garden

    We lacked any Hanger for drying wet swimsuits and towels. Neither on the large terrace nor in the bathroom was there anywhere to hang clothes and beach towels.

    The hotel was clean, the garden well maintained, the staff friendly and helpful, the breakfast sufficient.

    I paid extra (abt 25%) for ocean view room with “stunning view” (according to the description on Booking.com) but could only see a very small patch of the sea (and none when sitting down on the balcony). Room allocation seems to be a lottery and if I was staying at this hotel again I would certainly not pay extra for the ‘view’. In addition, the room had an interconnecting door for the neighbouring room which means there is no soundproofing and I could hear people in the next room talking at normal volume. I raised the above issues with the management but they only offered to comp food which I had limited use for as I was doing outside activities. Rooms in general are quite dated and could do with some renovations.

    Great location, walkable distance to Matira beach, shops and restaurants. Resort grounds are well kept by staff, beach is small but very nice - amazing snorkelling just off the beach! Rooms are cleaned well, cleaning and upkeep staff are attentive.

    The hotel is on the sunrise side of the island but you can head to Matira beach for the sunset which is only a short walk away.

    The staff are really friendly and helpful. The little beach is well maintained and has some great snorkellkng spots to access with snorkels from the hotel. The food and drinks were average but the location of the beach side bar/restaurant is ideal for a drink before dinner/during the day. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed with a stunning view across the lagoon (we had an ocean view room). There is a small supermarket up the road for any essentials and an Avis rental to hire bikes, cars and scooters. The hotel arranged for a transfer to/from the ferry port to get to the airport at an extra charge.

    Check the invoice at the check out as we did not book the transfer from the ferry on arrival, but it was in the bill

    Perfect location, close to the public beach. The hotel has also private beach where the snorkelling is not bad. Good breakfast options! Nice view from the room. As our room was not far from the reception, we could have the wi fi connection also there 😀

    Some things are started getting deteriorated. Maintenance should improve. Ex: the fan in the bathroom would sometimes work, others not, very noisy. The fridge door wouldn't close fully. would very often open by its own so it didn't keep cool enough the inside.

    Easy direct accès to beach & walking distance to big public pretty beach. Perfect for beach walking. Rooms are quite enough spacious and nice size terrace. Good bathroom.

    Transportation to/from the ferry is offered, but at an extra cost. At ~$30USD, for a 7.5km trip for two, was probably more than a taxi.

    Great location, with a short walk to Matira Beach for sunsets, a couple of good off-site restaurants, car rental and grocery stores. We paid for a beach front bungalow and ended up with an over water bungalow.

    Free Wifi was frustrating, VERY slow! Would like to have had the bottled water restocked daily. Only Premium accommodation’s received this service.

    Location of our beach bungalow ( ocean view) was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. It was great to have our own private loungers.

    Great place, staff not always friendly

    The staff was not always friendly. In particular the boss lady in the morning and the lady who served us at the restaurant the day we arrived. For that reason, we avoided the hotel restaurant for the rest of the trip and went to another place down the street. We asked for late check out (knowing they did not have anybody else using that unit that day) and the lady in the morning told us we could not. Although we saw from the beach nobody went and clean the place. For $800/night, you would hope they would be more accommodating.

    We spent here 5 days of our honeymoon. We booked a over the water bugaloo. It was great. And the price, compared to other on the islands, were more affordable (still expensive). Room was great and the water around amazing. They have great coral in the hotel beach. Breakfast was good and had plenty of choices, but the quality was so and so. Great location. There is a place close by where you can rent kayak and boats. We booked a boat tour with the hotel (lagunarium), and it was awesome! Easy to rent bikes close by at AVIS. Great location to do a lot of excursions (by boat or bike/car). Bed was super comfortable, and the place were quiet. Great happy hour and the bartender was super nice.

    Wifi not being available in the rooms.

    We extended our stay in Bora Bora due to it raining for our entire 4 day initial itinerary and us not wanting to miss out on experiencing BB at its finest. Initially we stayed in the Overwater bungalows at this resort, but for the additional days we downgraded and stayed in a garden suite, which did the job perfectly as we were outside of our room all day anyways. However, it must be said that on the rainy days we were very happy to be in an OWB when confined to the resort for extended periods. Maitai is a great place to stay in the best location on the island. The resort reef is great snorkelling but you absolutely must also do a private boat tour through the activities Centre, you will not regret it!
