Avoid the Beach Bungalow

Our experience at the hotel significantly impacted what was otherwise an amazing trip to Rangiroa. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the staff, they were warm, friendly, and provided excellent service. Our issue lies not with them, but with the condition of the accommodations, which is something the property’s investor or management needs to seriously address. We stayed in a beach bungalow, which felt extremely outdated, as if nothing had been updated in decades. The furniture, mattress, and bedding were worn and uncomfortable. The bathroom had a persistent humidity issue and an unpleasant odor, likely from years of use without renovation. While we understand the hotel is set in a natural environment, the level of pests inside the room was unacceptable, especially for a property charging $500 per night. We encountered cockroaches, ants on countertop and sofa, and never-ending number of mosquitoes inside the room. Despite using repellents, I woke up with new bites each morning. We later heard from other guests staying in beach bungalows that they experienced similar issues. I read the reviews after our stays and found comments from years ago mentioning the exact same problems, which makes it clear that management is aware but has chosen not to make necessary improvements. Perhaps we were unlucky to book the beach bungalow, as other room types appeared newer and better maintained. If you must stay at this hotel, do not stay in the beach bungalows.

Amazing stay!

It was an amazing stay again. We were there 2 years ago and we needed to come back for more! Great service. The place is not new but they renew equipments periodically (saw some new bikes and the ac in our place was new as well) We would love to come back hopefully soon!

Lovely resort. We had an ocean view hut with hot tub. We enjoyed it very much. We snorkeled right off the beach. There is only one restaurant. It's lovely but pricey especially the drinks ( averaging $15-25). Other local eateries are snack places. Not bad but limited menus. Don't miss snorkeling the aquarium and drifting the pass

Honeymoon Paradise

We had a wonderful time staying at this gorgeous hotel for our honeymoon. Stayed one night in the beachfront bungalow and two nights in the over water bungalows. Mind blowing! Staff was excellent and helpful. We also got a couples massage which was fantastic.

The view from our ocean facing room with pool was amazing. The room did not have windows however which made it hot at night but also very loud from the waves crashing during a storm. Even with ear plugs it was loud. Would love to have had some more gluten free food options and the food overall was just ok. Didn’t see abetter hotel option on the island and the diving we were able to do made the trip with the stay.

10/10 Recommend! Most amazing experience!

Kia Ora was nothing short of amazing!! The property is so beautiful, the employees happy & helpful, and the food is beyond delicious. We ate every single meal on site because it was just THAT good. They shuttled us to and from the airport which made things simple and rented us a car for a few hours to explore the motu hassle-free. We 10/10 recommend and will return!

The most beautiful resort you can imagine. Off the beaten track but well worth the extra flight, with stunning variety of marine life right next to your room (overwater bungalow). Close to world-class scuba-diving spots also. Restaurant and bar were wonderful with highlight being cocktails at sunset and the Polynesian buffet/entertainment evenings. Service was always impeccable.

Beautiful setting amongst groves of palm trees, with good swimming/snorkeling. Beach-front bungalow was great for lounging by the water (loved the hammocks), though wish room was better lit and had AC that worked in both rooms.
