Quiet and secluded resort with no other resort in sight. We visit during spring break and I can hardly see any other tourists at all. Coral Garden located on the property and it’s very convenient.

Absolutely stunning property. Staff is wonderful and helpful. We had a fantastic time. The bungalows are clean and beautiful and the coral gardens are amazing. Only constructive criticism is we were not told that we (and I think everyone) has breakfast daily included. We didn’t realize this until the third day. But again otherwise all around a wonderful stay! Thank you!!

13 years ago, I visited this property as a journalist on a sponsored press trip and never forgot my experience. I hoped to be able to afford to one day return as a guest, as being a young reporter, staying here would’ve been completely cost prohibitive. Over a decade later I returned with my fiancé to celebrate his 50th birthday. Since my last visit, the hotel has evolved into being one of the most luxurious resorts in the world, though the beauty of Le Taa’ah is that you never really feel like you’re in a resort — more like a rarefied boutique hotel where no detail has been spared. This is paradise on earth. Every experience from the spa to a private motu picnic to simply a poolside cocktail feels completely bespoke. Try to time your visit for Polynesian night, when there is a bountiful spread of fresh caught fish and beautiful sashimi on offer as well as live music and dance under the stars. Tipairua is the fine dining restaurant on property and Chef Christophe certainly plays up to his two-Michelin star rating. (Though even the most casual meal at Le Taha’a is as vibrant on the palate as it is visually stunning). I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Whether you go as a couple for the most romantic getaway of your life or by yourself for a restorative wellness retreat, you will return home dreaming of the technicolor waters, the scent of vanilla and tiare, and the warm hospitality you are enveloped in at this property for weeks on end.

The property is magical, perfect in any way. The lagoon water and facilities are even more beautiful than in some resorts in Bora Bora. The snorkeling in the corral garden is a fantastic addition. The staff and little gifts made us feel wellcome from the start till the end. Would come back in a split second. If I had to suggest anything for improvement, it would be to have a well trained and dedicated bartender and more interesting dinner options at the restaurant, though the food presentation was fantastic, as well as the breakfast buffet. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Service was exceptional! Everything from checkin to checkout (and in between) was just superior service. Especially great was Guilda (forgive me if my spelling is wrong) at the front desk. We arrived very early so our room was not ready, but that didn’t stop us from being treated exceptionally at the pool, restaurant, etc.. When our room was ready, Guilda took me to our room and showed me all the features. Included was a bottle of champagne and chocolates/cookies that she said were complimentary due to this visit being our second! My only regret was our stay being so short. We had a boat to catch for a week long TradeWinds cruise. After checkout, we were allowed to stay and continue charging to our room for lunch and any other incidentals. We were also given a key to a day room to use until we left. The General Manager also greeted everyone that was arriving and had lengthy discussions with each couple/family. I should also mention that everyone was given parting gifts. I highly recommend this resort and will gladly stay again if I return. I should mention that we had a beach villa with plunge pool for this visit. Our previous visit we had an overwater bungalow. Both accommodations were exceptional.

Island oasis - would love to enjoy again with sun!
We were in a premium beachside villa, with pool (49). It was amazing. It was the end of the property and private, but a bit of a haul (5+ minutes) to walk to the main areas for food and pool, if that's a concern for you. The property is lovely, so we actually enjoyed walking it end to end each day. Snorkeling in the coral garden was the highlight of our stay along with Tupu and the other bar/restaurant/pool staff. Disappointing part was we were only there for 3 nights (September) and the weather was horrible - strong winds and gusts all night and day, rain on and off, and our villa was on the windy side of the resort so we had to walk to the pool on the other side to even attempt to sit outside. Because of that, we really didn't get to enjoy our villa at all except to sleep in - I made the most of it by taking advantage of the outdoor shower instead. Breakfast was really good, limited options for lunch, but want we had was good (duck bruschetta was delicious), dinner entrees were hit or miss. We did the gourmet dinner and wine pairing one night and that was really enjoyable and delicious. Truly a relaxing stay despite the weather, but could have been once-in-a-lifetime type experience with mother-nature's cooperation!!

Location is great. Rooms are dated and need updating and repair. Polynesian staff were friendly and helpful. Other staff, not so much. Breakfast which was included was always good.

Overall stay was good, but I don't think we'd select this resort for future travel to French Polynesia at the current price point. This is a very nice hotel with no major faults but I would not characterize it as a luxury property. The island itself is gorgeous with a great house reef. We stayed in a beach villa (now branded a premium beach villa) and found the room to be nice but in need of updates with lumpy beds and old fixtures (which they appear to have started on). The room was very kid friendly including a gate around the villa pool. Where the resort falls short of a luxury designation is with the service. Staff are generally warm but we had numerous issues. Examples include the shower room being ready an hour later than we were told (on departure this matters as you're catching a boat), multiple requests that were forgotten with no follow up (wine glasses in room, concierge requests on bike pricing in Tahaa, etc.), incorrect transfer times for activities (told pickup at 11 AM, actually 1 PM). The grounds are nice but you can tell it wasn't intended to be a premium/luxury resort. Again no deal breakers and we ultimately had a nice experience.

This resort was a disappointment. We stayed at Le Bora Bora before we came to Le Tahaa and wished we had of stayed at Le Bora Bora. Le Tahaa is very run down. We stayed in a one bedroom with pool. The pool was in bad shape but still useable. There were chunks of grout missing in the tile and the decking was uneven in areas. The outdoor furniture was in very bad shape. There are very few electrical outlets and no USB ports. The shower floor was not directing water to the drain and the shower was an open concept, so the water would eventually start to flood out into the rest of the bathroom. We told the front desk and someone from maintenance came to fix it but they just took the drain cover out, said they would be back, and left. They never came back, and we had to keep turning off the water during our showers to stop the flooding. There was an outdoor tub/shower if you wanted use it but there were a lot of mosquitoes so it was risky. The layout of the bungalow was strange in that there was an open breezeway area where you came in and the bedroom off to one side and the sitting area to the other. The air conditioning worked well. Tahaa is very beautiful, and the resort grounds were very nice and well maintained. The main pool was in need of updating and was small. The snorkelling was good but it seemed like there was more to see at Le Bora Bora. The main restaurant was good and had a beautiful setting in the trees. The staff were very, very nice.

The property was wonderful and the staff amazing however when I asked about VIP amenities they didn’t seem to know what I was talking about and therefore I didn’t receive any benefits. I would have booked directly through the hotel for the benefits they were offering but I have had a good experience with Expedia VIP hotels so this was disappointing. In addition the TV didn’t work at all and the internet was spotty. But these things would not stop me from returning. I might just book directly through Pearl Resorts or Relais e Chateaux

this is a great place to stay. the staff is friendly and aims to please. the location is perfect and in fact the only hotel on the island. drinks are good food is good everything is carefully done and done with exceptional skilll and care. i had three issues which were handled. 1. the Christmas eve Buffet had seafood and no guarantee against cross contamination so that was sad for$250 but i was brought a dish of spaghetti which i requested as an alternative. allergies to food is a huge issue but they try hard so come prepared. 2. the thatch roofs at times can drop larvae and that is gross but they handled appropriately by moving to another lodge. bring lots of bug spray. 3. on the day of departure the ferry service departure time was changed by over an hour so i was not told until i overheard a guest on same flight say something. so i actually had more time to relax prior to coming to check out. thus, communication was poor as to changes in departure which did not leave a good feeling. i would have spent time at the pool relaxing but it was impossible when you are told one time when you went to bed and when you check out and learn a different time when you are waiting for the boat. great place highly recommend. but just remember nothing is perfect.

Amazing
We had an amazing time here, the people are so friendly. The food was great and they allowed for you to plan activities while you were there so you wouldn’t sit on the island the entire time. We will definitely be coming back!

The island of Taha'a is absolutely gorgeous and has many wonderful excursions to offer. We were disappointed by how outdated the resort was. The overwater bungalows need a serious overhaul. The walls were coming apart, there were stains all over the outdoor furniture and the bathroom had an "ick" factor. Every time the cleaning staff came in, they left behind huge clumps of hair and on one occasion, a disgusting cleaning rag was left on our furniture. There was a chunk in the wood floor missing as well. Overall, we didn't feel really comfortable/clean in the room. I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than 3 days, unless you're doing tons of excursions. The resort pool is small and the bartenders at the pool seemingly didn't know how to make certain drinks on their menu. The staff that was supposed to hand out towels and snorkle equipment was almost never available and we were constantly sneaking in to grab items ourselves. The resort only has one restaurant for dinner outside of the 5-course L'Ohiri so if you don't like the menu (which honestly, left much to be desired) then you're out of luck. The lunch restaurant was very good but I didn't like that food wasn't available at all times throughout the day. You had to be strategic about when to eat. We really enjoyed the Tiki Bar but wish it offered happy hour or was open earlier than 6. Walking around the resort, you kind of felt like you were at an American campgroup. There weren't any frills/luxuries to the grounds.

The Taha’a is a place closest to how I would imagine paradise. It comes with the appropriate price tag but was worth every single cent. Get a Bora Bora Overwater bungalow if available. The view is to die for. Can’t wait to return.

Gorgeous property, beautiful location and friendly staff. One area of improvement could be the food. For the prices paid, food should never be over cooked.

Understated luxury on private Motu
I loved this hotel. Stayed in 2 overwater bungalows with my family. Gorgeous setting on private motu with amazing coral snorkeling right by the hotel, where tour boats come to swim. As a guest you can go straight from the hotel at times when not crowded. We stayed at another 5-star on Bora Bora and while also lovely it was filled with American guests, and 'butlers' that were all french. This hotel has more locals employed and the property feels more understated, tropical and undeveloped while still luxury. One meal was just ok, the others delish. Lunch at the pool was one of my favorite meals. They have one 'gourmet' restaurant that is a fixed menu but we couldn't get in at the time we wanted so book ahead if you want to go. My only complaint is that when I was trying to communicate with the concierge in advance to book airport transfer, they took 2 weeks to respond even tho I sent followup emails. I was very worried that this was reflective of service at the hotel but once we got there it was all great. The concierge emailed a packet with all of their activities and it was easier to book through hotel so they coordinate the boat for getting to where you need to be. Book in advance because they do get full. We did the Overland Tour on Taha'a and liked learning about the history of region and about how pearls are farmed, rum and vanilla. Touristy but we enjoyed the outing. Bring bug spray to FP! We also did the palm basket weaving and coconut demo and loved!

I loved Taha’a the most overall of the islands we visited. The resort is very nice. We had an overwater bungalow with a beautiful view of the sunrise and Taha’a. The water was crystal blue and warm and we had a couple floor windows to view the lagoon below our room. We ate at the main restaurant 3 nights in a row and tried three different dishes, all were good! A very nice, delicious dinner. At the resort, the pool boy hut had everything we needed for free, floats, snorkels, water shoes, towels, etc. They restock the mini fridge daily with drinks, chips and Twix which was a great treat! The only con was that the mattress was very firm. But back to the good stuff, they had a very energetic man playing the ukulele at departure which was a very nice way to say goodbye. Also, they give you a little gift bag when you leave and I am very happy with my Taha hat!! We did an excursion “Vanilla Adventure” on the main land which was awesome. We e-biked around Taha seeing a run distillery, pearl farm and vanilla farm. We had a delicious home cooked meal and swam with sharks. I would highly recommend Raho’s your, he is incredibly hospitable and friendly. Overall, they really take care of you here and you feel so remote from the world. It is a wonderful place and you should book your stay now!
