This hotel is in a great location on the island, and the staff are so gracious there. We love staying up on the hill or down near the water. Either are a good value and so lovely. There isn't a lot to do there but just relax. The Snack has good lunches. The restaurant has a decent breakfast buffet. Go down the way to La Bounty for good dinners with live music by The Bounty Boys sometimes. Snorkel, kayak, ride a bike, go to church (to hear the most amazing a cappella music anywhere!), go out to a motu, and just relax in the sun. This charming hotel will be a wonderful spot to enjoy it all. It's truly paradise on Bora Bora!

We stayed at the Maitai in April 2006 for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon. After a few days in Manihi and a few days in Vahine, we moved to the Maitai Polynesia on Bora Bora. The overwater bungalow as worth it, to us, although I cannot swim and did not swim underneath it. I thoroughly enjoyed the deck. The bed was very comfortable, so much so that I did not want to get out of it except to watch the gorgeous sunrises over the water.

We had an amazing time, relaxing and fun all mixed in one. After wedding planning and relaxing in Manihi and Vahine, we were ready for some adventure so we did a helmet dive as well as visited some nice restaurants on the island, Bloody Mary's and Cabanae Bambou.

This was the trip of a lifetime and we highly recommend this resort.

We stayed 2 nights in a garden view room.
We arrived at the airport, took the boat that goes to the main town and someone from the hotel was waiting there to pick us up.

Well situated in Bora Bora ( Matira Point), the Hotel Maitai is cheaper than most of the other hotels of its category. The Matira POint is where you have a nice beach with white sand.

The hotel's restaurant, overlooking the water, serves nice meals and the breakfasts (included in the price of the room) are really good. There's also a little supermarket 2 minutes up the road if you need it and other restaurant options close by.
The people at the hotel are really friendly and always happy to help.

We went on a Lagoon boat tour that we booked ourselves (Chez Nono) and we went kite surfing right by the Matira Point.

The Matira Point area is the best location for both beaches and choice of restaurants on Bora Bora. The Hotel Maitai is therefore ideally situated and provides excellent breakfasts and with a very pleasant restaurant overlooking the beach. We arrived at short notice for a week due to problems at the nearby Village Temanuata, where we had originally booked. The Maitai offered us a very competitive deal and kindly upgraded us to an ocean view room. it was a lovely room with excellent facilities and with wonderful views over the bay from our balcony. Although much of the hotel, apart from the restaurant and over-water bungalows is across the road from the beach, don`t be put off - there is not much traffic and being located slightly higher on the hillside provides a wonderful vista. We must however mention the staff all of whom were unfailingly charming and helpful, particularly Helenie and Brian on Reception, as well as the surprise bowl of fruit and half-bottle of champagne that arrived during the week. Definitely a lovely and good value place to stay on Bora Bora.
