Ryokans in French Polynesia

"Mid range luxury! Beautiful beach, infinity pool, jacuzzi in our suite"

"Pool big enough for laps free snorkeling and kayaking gear, excellent breakfast buffet with quite reasonable price if booked with the room. Wish they would have had fans in the reception area while I was waiting to check out at 11 am"

"This place was breathtaking! The staff took very good care of us in any way we needed, super positive! Everyday activities, food and drink were excellent! Staying on a hut over the water was amazing, plenty of fish and sharks came up to us just snorkeling off the dock. Can't wait to be back!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Maitai, the staff was friendly and the location was great! "

"The property is very nice and well landscaped with an excellent pool and access to swim in a large natural reef. It is very French in the sense that there are more French customers than the Intercontinental so it is more authentic to the local traditions."

"Absolutely perfect. "

"Don't arrive expecting a 5-star resort, that's not this hotel. But it's a quarter or less of the cost too. It was perfect for my needs. Easy walk to restaurants and shops by the port. Free parking. I had a car so was out exploring the island every day, leaving in the morning and not returning until evening. Kind staff - Vainui and Jeanne (sorry if I mispelled) were lovely and made sure all was good. "

"This hotel is perfect for the purpose. We had a one-night stay before continuing on through PPT for our trip home. The front desk arranged our taxi back to the airport and wake-up call very efficiently. One thing I wish I had done was arrange a van from the airport to the hotel - instead of paying for 2 taxis for my family of 5 + luggage. The hotel is clean and efficient. Be aware there are stairs before the elevator. Rooms are clean and comfortable. "

"It was a truly wonderful experience – the beach is superb, rooms are comfortable, well airconditioned. Breakfast offers excellent coffee, local fruit, baguettes and cookies. Dinners are good, a restaurant on the sunset beach side is also 10-15 minute walk and a good local shop is within 2 minutes. Contact reception in advance to arrange a pick-up shuttle from the airport ferry dock. Renting bikes for a day from the reception to go round the island worked out well."
