Raiatea Hotel Guide - Marae Taputapuatea hotels in Raiatea, French Polynesia.

"This is an absolute haven of tranquility and you don’t expect a lodge like that while driving down the East coast of Raiatea. The garden is stunning and you can read about all the plants. By the small beach is a lily pond and the hillside is a jungle of the most amazing vegetation. I was greeted very warmly and shown around, there is a beautiful communal area with a kitchen that is fully stocked and then you have little spaces in and outside of the fridge for the things you buy for yourself. There are no meals offered, you have to prepare them yourself. "

"Due to location, we felt a bit isolated "

"3 night stay taking in Taputapuatea Marae, Botanic Gardens and an around the island road trip. Good location with lagoon access and a kayak to borrow.Rooms were well appointed and bathrooms were pleasant. Good option for those who want to self cater as a proper kitchen.Property is not particularly private, and whilst there were fans and some windows and doors with mosquito netting there is no air con so it can be hot at night if you are from a cold climate like we were! Price and overall location and comfort wise we were pleased with this property."
