Very nice room, the beach was lovely and we enjoyed having access to the kayaks. There is a shop and restaurants in walking distance, as is the main public beach. The shuttle for the return journey to the airport is stress free, though a bit expensive for a place on a minibus (for 2 people it’s cheaper to get a taxi - we paid 3000 when we arrived). Breakfast was fine for the amount we were paying for a garden view, but for the amount some guests are paying it was very below par.

Everything was quite nice. We stayed in a bungalow and all expectations were met. Sitting on the balcony and watching the sunrise was great. The private beach was never crowded. Happy hour was good. We preferred to get our breakfast early because during the morning rush the buffet was a bit crowded. The location was close to two restaurants and two grocery stores which made it very convenient. It is about an 8 minute walk to Mitira Beach.

Best birthday ever!

I decided to spend the day in Bora Bora and wanted to get it over the Water bungalow. This resort had the most affordable yet most updated bungalow over the water and when I say it was everything that I wanted and need it, I truly mean that the staff was very kind. I can’t swim, but the water wasn’t very deep below my bungalow or even by the private beach I was able to stand on 5’7 for reference. I was able to book an excursion soon as I arrived luckily was able to get and the same day to go swimming with the sharks and stingrays then back to shower and happy hour which was really nice to meet all the other people on the resort dinner was amazing! I went to the restaurant for barbecue. They had different options every day of the week and the pork ribs so yummy as an American we love our barbecue and I just missed Memorial Day weekend at home due to being away from my birthday, so the food hit the spot and gave me just a little taste of home. I was comfortable staying on this resort and in my bungalow alone. There are two grocery stores that are nearby one if you leave the resort going to the left and the other one going to the right, I went to the one going to the left. It had everything there which that is very convenient as well. It was maybe a 3 to 5 minute walk depending on how fast she walk. Walking to the store all the neighbors were very kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back! Book it!! I highly recommend getting the over the water bungalow!!

My wife and I honeymooned here from May 3-May 10. We had the opportunity to stay at their overwater bungalows, and it didn't disappoint. Getting up and jumping in the water was fantastic. Being able to snorkel right off the porch was a definite plus. Along with this, the service was Top Notch as well. The area is very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place.

We stayed in a premium OWB and it was gorgeous! The staff and locals are the nicest people I’ve ever met!! My only complaint is the breakfast buffet was not good at all and its a very small resort so there was not a lot to do. We walked down to the intercontinental Moana and we wished we had stayed there. Much nicer, We had dinner there twice, it was great. Overall, Maitai was ok, I just wouldn’t stay there again.

20 year Anniversary -Great time!!!

The hotel staff was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and worked hard to make it an enjoyable experience. The breakfast was excellent!! Happy hour was ok but there was not much interaction with the other guests. Drink selection was ok but not great. Was hoping for more engagement or social events. Great to have the restaurant close by. Did not like climbing the hill to our room so many times but had a great view once there!!! We got locked out of room on the porch but our neighbor saved us. Not sure what to do if that happened again (?). Fun place and very clean -pure paradise.

Wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend.

Our stay at the Mai Tai Polynesia was amazing. There were no over the water bungalows available online when we booked a reservations but something opened up when we got there and Julia assisted us with upgrading. She was very kind and so helpful. It was so worth it. There are coral reefs right below the bungalows and we were able to snorkel right from our deck. The customer service was amazing. The rooms are large. The food is good. They have free kayaking which we took advantage of and there is a coral garden right across the lagoon from the resort that we kayaked to several times. We saw turtles many rays lots of fish right from our deck. It is also located a five minute walk from Matira Beach the only public beach. It had wonderful snorkeling and was not ever crowded. I highly recommend this resort.

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.
