Everything, from the welcome to daily life, was amazing. Breakfast was very generous and of great quality, and dinner (which was included in our deal) was also enjoyable every night! The hotel staff was nice with us from the first moment to the last, making sure to track our flight was on time.

Special mention as well to the water activity company over the road - we had our first jet ski class and enjoyed daily kayak trips!

Loved Raiatea Lodge Hotel

The Raiatea Lodge Hotel was very clean, quiet, and accommodating. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was very good. We stayed five days and had a lovely stay. My only disappointment was that we had to cross a road to get to the ocean but the snorkeling was incredible as well as the sunsets!

We had a room with half board, breakfast and dinner included. The dinners were excellent. Breakfast was a version of a Continental breakfast but did have bacon, sausage and hard boiled eggs, in addition to pastries, yogurt, etc.

We borrowed a kayak from the hotel and went to the small motu ten minutes away. Super cool to see juvenile sharks and snorkel around the motu.

From the time we arrived, until we left, our stay was extraordinary! The front desk staff was very accommodating with arranging trips and transportation. We were happy to have opted for the half board meal plan which provided a well done selection of meals. I would highly recommend the Raiatea Lodge Hotel.

Raiatea Lodge Hotel–A Relaxing Honeymoon Daydream

We had the pleasure of staying at Raiatea Lodge Hotel during the second leg of our honeymoon, and it was everything we could have hoped for—a peaceful retreat after spending time on larger, more touristic islands. The hotel is set on picturesque plantation-like grounds that instantly evoke relaxation. The lush greenery and tranquil surroundings made it feel like a hidden gem in the heart of French Polynesia.

The fusion of Polynesian and French influences in both the cuisine and entertainment was a standout. Every meal was an experience, combining local flavors with French culinary elegance, and the live entertainment added to the authentic yet sophisticated atmosphere.

One of the most unforgettable parts of our stay was the incredible sunsets. They set perfectly to the west of the hotel, painting the sky in hues of gold, pink, and violet—some of the best sunsets we’ve ever seen! Watching them from the lodge was pure magic.

If you’re looking for a quieter side of the Tahitian islands, Raiatea Lodge is the perfect choice. It’s far less touristic than some of the bigger islands, yet offers all the amenities of a top resort. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome without making us feel isolated from the island experience. It’s a place where you can unwind and truly enjoy the natural beauty of Raiatea.

Highly recommended for those who seek tranquility, comfort, and a taste of island life with a refined touch.

The staff at the lodge was very pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend the half-board which includes breakfast and dinner but no alcohol. Was surprised by a local group of preformers on the first night of our stay (W night). The 4-1/2 yr. old is an up and coming star! Would highly recommend. Lodge will be going through a renovation for 6 months over year end.

We had a great time at the Raiatea Lodge. Everything is tastefully decorated. The bungalows are brand new and very comfortable. The pinacolada is delicious. The food is also really good. More importantly the staff is the most friendly and helpful.
The only minor complaint is the low internet bandwidth. But I don’t know if it’s an issue with the island overall.

The Raiatea Lodge is quite nice and in a good location. It is spittlessly clean and the restaurant is excellent. The staff is very kind, but they do promote some completely turistic excursion and were not very helpful about all that is available in Raiatea, such as availabilti of water taxis to the nearby islets or transportation to Taha outside of a turist tour. The location is great, near the airport and town, but a car is essential. There are kayaks available, but the current makes it tricky. Also there are bikes available, but biking in the narrow road is not very safe, although the locals do. There is a pontoon that is in disrepair and not usable, it would be nice to snorkel from as Raiatea has no beaches. The pool is very nice but small and usualky crowded. All and all a nice stay.

Pros: staff is fantastic! Chef and food is excellent! What's also super awesome???...the kayaks to get to the nearby motu for exploring. Also cool, the place is right across the road from a beach great sunset views. We had bungalow M1 which had a great covered outdoor area to sip drinks and watch sunset. Plus, the bungalow was super new.
Cons: we didn't tell them so they didn't fix, but the bathroom had a small ant issue.
If you ask them to book a Tahaa day tour, either buy your own snorkels or get them from desk (they didn't recommend us to do this). The ones the company they use that provided us had lots of black mold growing in each snorkel...apparently were the only ones who didn't bring our own (never a problem in Bali or Hawaiian outfits we used) and no fins provided so progress was SLOW.

Would stay at Raiatea Lodge again in heartbeat.

Christmas in Tahiti

We have stayed at Raiatea Lodge previously and really enjoyed it. This time we were disappointed to see that we could not use the dock to launch kayaks and go snorkeling which we were really looking forward to. They also have a new chef and we’re handling COVID issues as much as possible.

Total Relaxation

Our stay at the Raiatea Lodge Hotel could not have been better. The staff and management were very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfasts were great and the dinners were some of the best we had in French Polynesia. They offer free bicycles and kayaks to use. If you want to snorkel, kayak to the Motu. The left side is pretty shallow but some of the best snorkeling can be done on the right side. Overall, this was a very relaxing stay and are glad we decided to go to Raiatea and stay at this hotel.

The Raiatea Lodge could not have been better. 5 star service, food, everything. Amazing place. When we booked it I thought the price was a little bit high, but after being there it was so worth it! From the greeting upon arrival, to the service while there, and the amenities this place rocks! The front desk staff spoke English, which was very helpful as we do not speak French. Highly, highly recommend it!!

NIce for Raeitea

No mega hotels here. Nice small hotel, flowers and juice welcome. Excellent snorkeling off dock. Clean rooms and nice staff. Great restaurant. You should get car to drive around. Not much in town but we were here for sailing. I would go to moorea instead if you are looking for best island and hotels. Bora bora is too expensive and totally focused on resorts

We were greeted with welcome drinks, a cool towel and personal orientation for the hotel and island. The hotel restaurant was the best that we experienced and the large continental breakfast was presented in such a fun and elegant way, and tasted great!

Motel style

Rooms are motel style and the shower is tiny. No hair dryer or coffee/tea making amenities provided in room. Canoes provided but no paddle boards.
When you add up the cost of room with the added breakfast it is not the best value for money compared to what you can get in a beach bungalow in a neighboring island.

Nice hotel, amazing staff

We really loved this hotel, the staff was amazing, and we felt so welcome and relaxed. We thought the food was the best we had on our 4 week trip to the French Polynesian islands and Kauai. Try the lamb, it was excellent and a nice change from all the fish we had on the trip. Keep valuables locked in the safe as the maid leaves the sliding doors open to air the room. Wifi is free, but only available in the lobby.

Tropical Comfort

We stayed 2 nights after being on a charter boat for 6 nights. The general ambience is one of tropical relaxed. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom very nice too. The sunset from our verandah was spectacular. The restaurant is a pleasure to eat in and the staff are all helpful and well trained. The grounds and pool are beautiful. I recommend this hotel and would love to return. Raiatea is a beautiful island.
