Paea Hotel Guide - Maraa Cave hotels in Paea, French Polynesia.

"I won't book again! The room was hotter than hot. The A/C was off & took a long time to cool down the room. Too hot to sleep, just lay there sweating. Why would the staff not turn on the a/c for expected guests? The fridge was also turned off, there was a kettle but no mugs. Minimum towels, no soap, shampoo & only one pillow each. No extras at all. There is a set of stairs to the elevator, I am a senior with large, heavy luggage & no offer of help from staff. Disgraceful!"

"Good convenient location"

"Beautiful resort and location. It just opened on March 1, 2026 so it had only been open for a couple of weeks before we arrived. They were still hiring staff so restaurants were only open part time. Staff is wonderful and in a couple of months all should be up and running and fabulous. I would definitely go back"

"What a gorgeous property, and so close to the airport, without feeling the slightest bit like an “airport hotel.” The place is large and well laid-out, with a wide variety of pool and dining options, each with a totally different vibe. We spent a two-day layover here on the way to New Zealand, and without ever leaving the property, we felt like we had a lovely little Tahitian getaway! The “Lagoonarium” — a mini-lagoon with exotic fishes you could swim with! — was a childhood dream come true! I always wanted to jump into the fish ponds at resorts, and I was able to do that in this gorgeous pool with friendly fishes! They also have a sea turtle rescue program there, which was fascinating and moving. We took a scuba diving trip right from the property a few hours after arriving, and saw many fish, stingrays, eagle rays, a plane wreck and a boat wreck in the crystal-clear waters. What a low-effort way to have a spectacular experience! The food at The Lotus Restaurant was transcendent! Staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know! "

"Very clean room. Quiet, out if the way facility with an outstanding view. Very helpful staff. Beware, extremely remote and a difficult drive to get there."

"All was good. Things were a little dated but everything was clean an working. Really liked the setting with the little porches around the pool and all the gardens. We arrived late, cooked dinner in the kitchenette and swam in the pool with the night lighting. Very nice atmosphere. Only thing we didn't like was the noise on the road from behind - was on the weekend and could here several loud motor bikes going by throughout the night."

"Apartment was very clean and tidy, very handy location and stunning view for sunsets over Moorea. And our host Gaelle was awesome to communicate with. Definitely recommend "

"The infinity pool was so lovely and Robert was very friendly and quick to respond to messages thru Expedia! The air conditioning is essential in French Polynesia too! It was nice to have a washing machine to do a load of laundry in before we continued on with our trip!"

"We stayed just for one night but we had a great experience. We were in 3 and they gave us 2 rooms! Super clean and 8 minutes from the airport. "
