Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora | Resort in Matira

“Great hotel, with good service. But, the prices are very high, actually too high. You can get at least the same level of accommodations for half the price in Tahiti”

“Staff was super helpful and feei”

“Breathtaking views in our overwater bungalow. The amenities were super. Everything is well maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful beyond measure. They tended to all of our needs. The restaurant had excellent food as well. The location of the property is absolutely perfect. There are two local markets, several restaurants within walking distance and an Avis Rental where you can rent electric bikes or scooters. Can't say enough about this beautiful property. We tend to not repeat visits as we want to explore as many places in the world as we can, but we see ourselves returning here in future. It's that good, particularly compared to the cost of the same type of experience that other properties on Bora Bora.”

“Great stay for the price. Snorkel gear and kayak rentals are included.”

“The staff went out of their way to help us set up activities and transportation. The room was large, and the hotel was located by Matira beach. Great find.”

“I have stayed here twice—first time a beach bungalow and an overwater bungalow and this year the beach bungalow the whole time because we preferred it the first time around. My only issue is that between the two trips, the hotel moved the boat rental area to right in front of the beach bungalows so the beach that was basically private is now essentially a port and you can’t swim or snorkel there. Basically it’s useless to book those cos you will need to walk over to another beach and have constant traffic and visual noise outside your hut. IMO they kinda ruined the beach bungalows making them not worth it. The reason we preferred it the first time around was because you had a great view of the beach, palm trees, and the water (as opposed to essentially having a cruise ship view and a long walk to the beach from the overwater hut) and before you also had a beach to yourself right outside your hut. Now that perk is gone and not worth the minimal price difference between a beach and overwater. Another thing that has changed is that the hotels to the left and across the water went out of business so your view consist of dilapidated huts and caution tape. Obviously Mai Tai can’t do anything about it. Lastly, the neighbors of the hotel consist mostly of private residences (as opposed to most of the hotels on the motu) and they burn weeds and trash in their yards causing an almost constant smell of smoke. Would I stay here a third time? Not unless they move the boat area.”

“Staff was really friendly. Worth the cost compared to other options.”

“I had a delightful stay! The staff was very helpful!”

“The cleaning staff was very nice,the front desk staff very unpleasant and less helpful-especially some specific persons and restaurant staff slow and like “don’t care” The breakfast buffet food was less than average,coffee is only instant,no espresso machine that is unacceptable for this hotels class and level. The rooms definitely need renovation.”

“We loved the location of this property. Unfortunately, this place only has 5 good overwater bungalows. The rest are in such shallow water &, or the views are restricted by the other bungalows that are in front of them. I'm sorry to say it, but both the breakfast & Saturday night BBQ buffet, was absolutely horrible. The most watery powdered eggs, I've ever seen, bacon wasn't crispy at all & the options were lacking to say the least for breakfast. Lets just say there's a reason is free. As for the $65 a person BBQ & dance show, do yourself a huge favor & SKIP IT!!! Trash food all the way. Alcohol beverages taste like pure juice & barely had any alcohol. The staff were friendly & the dogs/animals around the property were sweet & loving. I hope this place makes some small changes, because it has so much potential”
