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.

Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views
The Maitai hotel was wonderful! Great service starting from the island greeting at check in and helpful service throughout. The view from our room was fabulous. There were a few stores and restaurants within walking distance. Beach access right across the street and another one a short walk away.

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.
