Great place for relaxing. Restaurant food is very good— surprising for a small resort. Enjoyed access to bikes and kayaks. Pool furniture very comfortable and pool refreshing.

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.

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.

This was a fantastic hotel managed by the owner. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of smiles. The hotel had a lot of character. Plenty of things to do. They had bicycles, kayaks and you could snorkel right in front of the hotel. Food quality was EXCELLENT! Best we had so far on this trip.

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.

Absolutely amazing and worth every penny.
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

Wonderful staff, awesome breakfast!
We arrived after a long flight and a short inter island flight to the hotel staff meeting us at the airport gate for a short ride to the hotel. 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.

Magnifique séjour dans un hôtel très soigné, ne pas hésiter à louer une voiture ni emprunter les canoës pour aller au motu. A faire sans hésiter. Très belle piscine dommage que les clients ne savent pas mettre leur crème solaire après le bain seulement. Excellent restaurant et cuisine raffinée.

Tout est top, sauf la vue et le pti dejeuner
L’ensemble est bien sauf la vue de la chambre, contrairement a ce qu’on voit sur les photos, on a eu une chambre qui donne sur les toits des bungalows. J’ai expliqué la situation au réceptionniste, sans succès Pas d’œufs au petit-déjeuner par contre, pour un hôtel comme ça, je trouve que c’est extrêmement décevant
