Exellcent service, loved the overwater bungalow
We highly recommend Mai Tai Bora Bora for (premium) overwater bungalow experience. We jumped off our deck and went right to snorkeling. You can also rent paddleboards and motor boats. Water was so clear and beautiful views!
The staff was so helpful and rooms were clean and had everything we needed like fridge. Two restaurants on site including a beach view one.
The staff at Mai Tai was even able to recover our lost cell phone from the bus driver that took us to the airport boat dock. It was a work of magic and truly personalized service.
Also the hotel is close to other restaurants, beaches and markets. Bora Bora Dive will also pick you up as its only a few minute drive.

Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views
The Maitai hotel was wonderful! Great service starting from the island greeting at check in and helpful service throughout. The view from our room was fabulous. There were a few stores and restaurants within walking distance. Beach access right across the street and another one a short walk away.

You pay for the location. No WiFi in rooms.
The hotel doesn’t live up to the standard one would expect in this price class as the rooms feel more like an average middle class hotel. Also, there were multiple issues with the bathroom plumbing during my stay (constantly running water) and there was no WiFi in the room, only in the common areas. I had a hint of connectivity in some corners of the balcony though. This is somewhat substandard for a hotel in this price class in 2024.
This said, the concierges at the reception were wonderful, very friendly and incredibly helpful and as most of the staff (except for the waiting staff in the beach restaurant).
The location and the hotel beach are incredibly beautiful and there is even a small artificial reef that is great for snorkeling. The overall beauty of location partially makes up for the other shortcomings.
