Hotel Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora

The hotel is located on a small beach but close to Matira beach. The staff was very accommodating and the rooms clean and well furnished. Loved the restaurant on the beach.

The hotel needed an update. The room we stayed in was comparable to a motel in US. WIFI was only available at the main lobby and the restaurant. And it disconnected frequently and was extremely slow. There was no pool and the beach cross the road was kind of rocky. However, the price was relatively speaking inexpensive. We stayed here for the first two nights on Bora Bora, just to settle down a bit, before moving on to much better resort.

Water pressure is very low and the hot water is scalding. When someone else in the building flushes a toilet the water in the shower scalds you. Very dangerous. No usable WiFi in room. WiFi in lobby so slow that it will not support a VPN connection. Mice on balcony. Balcony door locks you out with no handle from the outside. No pool, hot tub, or gym. Food is overpriced and not on par for a resort. Beach faces prevailing wind so unusable during many winter days. We ended up spending most of our time at the Intercontinental Hotel down the street - especially for meals, protected beach, and WiFi. One star is generous. Stay elsewhere.
