We spent seven nights at this resort and found the experience to be very enjoyable. We asked for a garden room and were upgraded to an over the water bungalow. Although it was fun to be over the water, we had five nights of high winds and waves and the noise level was deafening. Earplugs are a must! The restaurant... More

We - group of 22 - 8 families, age from 10 to 60 - stayed two nights here. 1. Great food - buffet was just ok, a la carte is amazing from burgers, steak, lamb to mahi mahi (it's pricy if comparing to Far East islands, like Thai, Philipnos.. but compared to Tahiti, Bora Bora, Taha'a, here is just fair...

There are a lot of good things to say about this hotel, but there are also some bad. There is not a beach at this hotel. I would not have been happy if we were not staying in an over water bungalow. This is probably one of the least expensive over water bungalows in all of French Polynesia. It is... More

We visited this delightful resort for a swim a few drinks and eats. We were in Raiatea only for the day as we were cruising. It seems to be family owned and the host Denis was so friendly and helpful as was all the rest of the staff. Off the jetty was a perfect spot for a swim and viewing... More

There's not really many hotel options in Raiatea, so we tried to go the pension route (usually family run deals) and went to Pension Tepua (about 15-20 mins from Hawaiki Nui). Big mistake. It was run by a very grouchy french woman named Guyanne. Long story short, the place was filthy and had some sort of termite nest in our... More

After wonderful days spent in moorea and borabora we arrived to this overpriced,rundown dump of a place. The overwater bungalow is a disgrace. Not only it is totally run down with tiles from the 50s breaking off, mold and dirt everywhere, but it was bug infested. In the 15 minutes we spent in it we saw two roaches. No air... More

We stayed in an overwater bungalow for 2 nights during September 2010. It was important for us to see Taputapuatea Marae, that was our only reason for visiting the island. When we arrived Europcar Raiatea informed us that they had no record of our reserving a car and that they had none available (they HAD confirmed to me by email).... More

This somewhat run down property is located on a narrow land strip on the east side of Raiatea island directly along the main belt road making most of its garden rooms and bungalows quite noisy. However, overwater units are in so bad shape they would not fit the less demanding guest either. Maintenance and keeping up are unknown words for... More

Be aware that Raiatea is a very popular destination for cruise ships, which will make it hit or miss for your visit. The advantage being that when cruise ships are in town, everything is generally open - so you can find places to dine, do some shopping, and even cash travelers checks at the local bank. The down side is,... More
