Guest reviews for Maitai Rangiroa

Misty - 01/12/2025 05:23:31

"The location, view, great snorkeling. Close to airport, tranquil, calm peaceful. Transportation to excursions. No beach to lay out but pool, lounging chairs, and kayaks."

"They need to print new menus as the restaurant. Beach access is coral so be prepared that you won’t be on the lawn chair on the beach."

"This is a beautiful, quaint property with a wonderful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and the staff was very helpful arranging tours and making suggestions of fun things to do while in Rangiroa."

"Aucun."

"We visited Rangiroa for the scuba diving and loved staying at the Maitai. It has a good location that is private and easy to use a taxi to get around. The excursions we took picked us up at the hotel for no additional charge. A supermarket is located right next door which is so convenient. We spent many evenings watching the sunset from the pool area and especially the dock. The room was spacious, clean, and comfy. The breakfast was included in our plan with was good having a large buffet. The food was good at dinner and a fairly good variety. We were welcomed by everyone that we encountered on the staff."

"Aucun."

"Property has a pool overlooking the lagoon. Snorkeling was quite good nearby. A/C in the room was great to have. Bed was comfortable. Resort is walking distance to grocery store close by and about a mile walk from local wine tasting tour."

"Our room had a hundred or so "mini ants" all along the baseboards so I had to ask for bug spray and essentially fumigate the place. Room in general wasn't very clean in the less obvious areas like corners of rooms, etc. Breakfast was average. No gym or exercise equipment."

"Excellent hotel with an equally excellent restaurant on-site. I also spent a lot of times at my friends hotel, the Kia Ora, and we both agreed that the Maitai was nicer at half the price."

"The water is not drinkable, so you need to buy water for drinking, teeth brushing, etc. I would expect them to provide bottled water. On the plus side, there is a store under 100 meters away."

"The Maitai has a great location right next to the airport, with a general store/market right outside the main entrance - very handy! Also had a fun little family-owned restaurant right across the street from the market that has good burgers and pizzas. The hotel itself is nice, the rooms are very clean, the grounds are maintained daily, and getting things like scooters was easy - just get the card for the scooter rental at the front desk, whatsapp the number on the card, and the owner will deliver them and pick them up right at the hotel!"

"The wifi was great in the restaurant/pool/front office area, and really poor out where the rooms are. They could benefit by having that improved across the property. Also, the pillows are really, really lumpy. Bring your own or just be aware. Also not impressed with the price/value for breakfast buffet."

"reception staff who helped us a lot! U are the best!"

"Dinner options"

Diana - 23/10/2023 05:18:54

"The hotel was close to the airport and there was a small grocery store next door. However, there was only one dining option aside from the hotel restaurant/bar that was in walking distance (across the street). We saw fish w/o even having to go into the water, though you could easily walk into the lagoon and snorkel off the small beach area from the hotel! You could see fish from the surface even when in the pool!"

"It would have been nice to have other dining options within walking distance. It wasn't clear what the best way was to get from the airport to the hotel. We were glad that a driver met us at the airport even though we hadn't requested (they had our name) - it's best to pay the driver directly v. the hotel as it's less expensive."

"Location, pool and view. The service was very nice."

"Not a lot of privacy as the bungalows are close to each other"

Helen - 13/07/2024 06:55:26

"The infinity pool is gorgeous, the views over the ocean are incredible! The snorkelling off the pier is first class but the ladder is tricky even for young healthy people, I would suggest they replace it with one that’s easier to navigate. Great to have a bar with nice cocktails (albeit a bit weak) and lots of good food options (albeit a bit expensive) when there is nowhere to eat or drink really on Rangi. Loved my garden hut even though the floor seemed a bit broken and the water went off for a while. I would definitely return and would book a lagoon-front cabin and stay for longer next time."

"As above, prices are high, floor in cabin was a bit broken in parts. Water went off one afternoon. No table on the deck outside the cabin."

Guest reviews

"Close enough to kayak out to the motu and very friendly dogs."

"Adam was a great host and is a very kind man Thank you Adam Pete from Australia"

"The bungalow was clean, and had everything we needed. All the personal touches in the bungalow made it very comfortable. It was in a great location and the hosts were so helpful. They operated a car rental service which was a bonus so we were able to rent a car one day. We got great recommendations for activities to do. We had use of kayaks and the pool was a nice bonus."

"Beautiful grounds and bungalows. Excellent staff and lovely restaurant with great food. Snorkeling out at the drop off is good."

"Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Karl et Wanda. Ce sont des personnes accueillantes, généreuses et authentiques, toujours prêtes à partager leur culture, les lieux à découvrir et la gastronomie locale. Le logement est très bien situé pour découvrir l’île et surtout Quel bonheur de prendre son café avec une vue aussi magnifique… Merci à Karl et Wanda !"

"Alles schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen."
