Bora Bora is know for its five star, cloistered resorts, particularly with overwater bungalows. It's a certain kind of vacation and not to be missed at some point. Having stayed at the VERY cloistered Four Seasons previously, we were looking for something a bit more grounded and authentic. I highly recommend the Maitai after our seven night stay there. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly. We had a little room glitch at the beginning, but options were offered and we ended up on the beach in bungalow 13 which has been newly remodeled. It's important to understand that there are three kinds of rooms: those in condo-like building on the hillside (where I had originally booked), across the road from the beach; the bungalows along the beach, and the overwater bungalows. Go for the latter two options! Other reviewers have covered the other wonderful things but we loved happy hour in the "lobby." We loved the proximity of two other off-property restaurants, especially the fantastic and always busy Lucky House restaurant, a short walk down the road from the hotel. The Beach Club was bit farther down and also good… particularly the outdoor, on-beach, and terrace seating. We highly recommend booking the six hour around-the-island in a boat tour via the office on property. Ask for Didi! One last plus to note… even though it's mystical, magical Bora Bora, by not staying at a fancy resort, we got a test of how island folks live as we walked about.

Mayte Polynesia Bora Bora is punching well above its weight in terms of service delivery and quality of accommodations. Most of the competition costs a great deal more, across all price points. In my experience, few resorts rise to the level of high performance, and attention to detail, both with respect to customer relations, and to the maintenance of their property and grounds. The daily fair at the luncheon and dinner restaurant is a sufficiently high-quality and variety that one does not have to repeat any particular item unless one wishes to. The entrées and sides were consistently well prepared and tasty. My only disappointment was with the buffet at the breakfast restaurant (yes it is a different restaurant). There was absolutely no variety over time here, so what you have available on the first day will likely remain so throughout your stay. I had a devilish hard time getting eggs prepared “over easy“, and even when I asked for them “Sunnyside up,“ they were invariably burned. But this single disappointment seems minor to me in light of all that was done so very well, and at a reasonable price. I look forward to returning to Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora.

From our upper floor room we had a beautiful view over the water to the reef. The room had a good sized balcony which we enjoyed every day. Even able to sit outside when it was raining as well protected. The bed was very comfortable and with housekeeping each day was appreciated. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful and the tours we booked through the hotel were wonderful. Breakfast had a good selection of choices. We enjoyed dining at their restaurant by the water. Happy hour was good value too!

The MaiTai was a delightful place to stay and beyond our expectations. It was very tidy and very clean, with gardens and nice seating. Situated in a lovely part of the island. The beach was great and had lots of conveniences. The restaurant on the waterfront was an added bonus. The rooms were cool and comfortable. Very quiet and nice views. The staff were all above and beyond. I would love to return to the MaiTai.

Amazing stay! Comfortable and spacious room, private beach, fast access to boat rental with awesome nearby sites (coral garden, eagle ray, white sand beach). And didn’t have to request for late checkout since they offer free shower, so could take advantage of site on departure day! Only inconvenience was that the door to the room had a seam up top (room 26) so seems like it let some mosquitos in :(
