Top Uturoa Hotel Reviews

Pension les 3 cascades

10/10 Excellent

"There was Wi-Fi but it was not very fast in individual rooms. The kitchen was large and clean, with every pot, pan, plate, and spoon you could want. There was an electric kettle and some basic food supplies like ground coffee, tea, sugar, and salt. The free laundry machine worked well and there was plenty of space to hang up close to dry for free. The front desk offered wide variety of tours, and we took a half day walking tour to see the nearby three waterfalls, which was safe, and very enjoyable. There was room to put your own food in storage and in a large refrigerator. The property has a couple of dogs and a cat that were nice to pet. The staff was very helpful."

Fare Oviri Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough about the hospitality extended to us by Michel, the proprietor. He was so kind, and really made us feel at home. The shared space in the kitchen was really fun. We enjoyed the opportunity to be to meet and talk with other guests. Come here if you want a very comfortable place to relax without the corporate polish of other resorts. Michel gave us a great restaurant recommendation: we loved dinner at the Opoa Beach restaurant, just a short drive down the road. It was one of the most delightful dining experiences I’ve ever had. While here, we snorkeled, sat on comfortable beach chairs, and could have kayaked if we had not been so busy relaxing. Merci Michel!"

Raiatea Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff erre great . Perfection location."

OPOA BEACH HÔTEL

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds and bungalows are beautiful, the restaurant is excellent and the staff is so nice."

Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"This was the highlight of our bucket-list trip to French Polynesia: three nights in paradise; and it delivered. We aren't accustomed to such a high end experience, so this was an unforgettable and amazing time. The resort grounds and buildings are immaculate, beautifull, and very well-maintained; despite it being the high season, the large footprint of the resort makes for a very tranquil and private stay. The sunset bungalow was spacious and luxurious; and we saw a large variety of fish, including a lemon shark, right from the walkway to our room. There was easy access to kayaks and paddleboards, although they are located on a windy point that makes entry slightly challenging for older guests due to small waves in the lagoon. But the lagoon is clear, warm, and shallow; quite inviting even for a nonbouyant person like myself! We did the drift snorkelling through the coral garden three times and could have done it many more times if we had the time and energy! We also arranged a half day tour of Taha'a (Fenua Safari) thru the concierge; it was very interesting to catch a glimpse of everyday life in this amazing place, and quite interesting to learn about the production of pearls and vanilla. The breakfast buffet was quite generous, so we never needed to stop for lunch. Three days flew by, but it was just enough to have the time of our lives."

Te Ava Piti Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"flexible, check-in. Very clean room. Excellent shower. Very strong water pressure. Wonderful free bicycles. Excellent free kayaks. Very near the best restaurant on the island."

Vahine Private Island

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning property with warm welcoming staff who tend to your every need. Yummy food, gorgeous setting, excellent snorkeling. 20/10!! Will go back."

EDEN - Private Island - TAHA'A

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing 3-night stay at this resort. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The food exceeded our expectations. Every meal was delicious, with fresh ingredients and great variety. What made our stay even more special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Their warm hospitality made us feel truly relaxed and well taken care of. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely love to come back in the future. Highly recommended!"

Spectacular seafront property with swimming pool and private pontoon.

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, great snorkeling from the dock, kayaks and paddleboards lots of fun. Tehina was very helpful. A few irritants though: very poor wifi, no dishwasher, cleaning staff not really necessary."
