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.

This is one of our top locations ever! We stayed 3 nights in a premier over the water bungalow and the rest in a beachside bungalow. Both were incredible! The staff is fabulous, the views stunning, and the easy access to FREE use of kayaks, paddle boards, beach loungers and towels snorkel gear and left

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 :(

Exellcent service, loved the overwater bungalow
We highly recommend Mai Tai Bora Bora for (premium) overwater bungalow experience. We jumped off our deck and went right to snorkeling. You can also rent paddleboards and motor boats. Water was so clear and beautiful views!
The staff was so helpful and rooms were clean and had everything we needed like fridge. Two restaurants on site including a beach view one.
The staff at Mai Tai was even able to recover our lost cell phone from the bus driver that took us to the airport boat dock. It was a work of magic and truly personalized service.
Also the hotel is close to other restaurants, beaches and markets. Bora Bora Dive will also pick you up as its only a few minute drive.
