"Stayed 6 nights in an overwater bungalow as part of a long trip to the islands of both Hawaii and French Polynesia. Service provided by our assigned concierge, Kea, was better than any butler service I have had over the years at other luxury hotels. The property is lovely and well kept. The bungalow was spacious, updated, and clean. Unfortunately there were a number of things that diminished the overall experience. First, the noise. I’ve stayed in overwater accommodations previously in The Maldives, Indonesia, and Colombia. I am currently at the Intercontinental La Moana in Bora Bora in an over water bungalow. It is serene and wonderful. I anticipated a similar experience of serenity and tranquility in Tahiti. But, instead, I had to listen to very loud music and announcements that went well past 10PM at night. Having traveled the world over the past 35 years I always have silicon ear plugs to dull the noise. Even with the earplugs, however, it was still loud. Some of the noise came from nearby but much of it was from the Intercontinental. In French Polynesia the year round humidity is between 80 and 90 percent. The average daily temperature hovers around 30. The fans in the dining areas were not sufficient to provide a comfortable dinning experience — even in shorts, tank top, and flip flops. The food was mediocre including at La Lotus. WiFi in room was ok but was not available in the gym and other areas of the property. This hotel pales in comparison to many other resorts."

"We were really enjoyed every minute our vacation! The staff were excellent! I would like to say special thanks for help my request ( birthday surprise) to Maima. She did a great job to prepare my husband surprise present. The room was spotless the restaurant was great. The bar was fun,many nights were live music on. The beach and the ocean were clean and gorgeous. The place was overall our expectations. We spent more than a week in the bungalow. Highly recommend this place."

"From the moment we arrived at Le Moana, we felt completely at home. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming — always smiling, always attentive, making every interaction feel personal rather than transactional. Breakfast was a true delight, fresh and delicious each morning. Our bungalow was cozy and beautifully appointed, with that rare quality of feeling intimate and homey rather than just “hotel-like.” And the lagoon — absolutely breathtaking. The color of the water is something you simply have to see to believe. We left Le Moana already dreaming of coming back."

"el.hotel y el.lugar.son una maravilla, el.personal super servicial. en particular queremos destacar la atención. de cloe y diana."

"This is a great hotel for a less expensive option on Bora Bora. The food is only fair. The rooms are good. We had a few items not in good working condition...a soap pump that kept breaking, a towel rack that kept coming off the wall. The staff was very pleasant. Very pretty grounds. I would stay here again. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime luxury trip to Bora I would go to one of the high-end resorts on the motus though."

"Most fabulous location on the beach and in a park at the edge of jungle. Staff were great and helpful on all fronts. The included breakfast was the best ever. "

"Very well maintained grounds. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. A couple of areas needing repair around the exterior of the rooms with siding falling off. The ice machine was broken for the duration of our stay, but was working again as we were leaving. The service members would bring large buckets of ice to our room though. Tanya found us walking and stopped on her golf cart to ask us if we wanted a ride. By the time we reached our room, she had us set up for two dinner reservations. She was very friendly and helpful. Don't miss the dinner show if you can help it, it was great!"

"Amazing bungalows and views. Breakfast was French style buffet and high was great. Very nice and helpful staff."

"The Le Taha'a Pearl Resort is a wonderful serene experience, right near beautiful coral gardens! The General Manager (Laurant) and the entire staff are wonderful! We definitely will be going back there."
