Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa

The attention to detaIl from reception at the airport to arrival at the hotel is first class. The architecture is elegant and very reflective of where you are visiting. The grounds are beautiful and extremely well maintained. The food is excellent and the restaurant at the pool was one of the best of our three resort trip. Jackson the Assistant Manager insured every guest was having an amazing experience. We will return there.

We stayed for 3 nights at the end of our French Polynesia trip. Unfortunately this was timed with a bad storm that had happened a week or so before we arrived that left an enormous amount of debris in the sea, rendering the beach unusable and the sea absolutely full of floating (mostly natural) debris. This could not be helped and you could see the manager and the staff were very upset by it. But the good thing is it forced us to relax in a different way and we took the opportunity to make the most of our amazing overwater bungalow. This was the largest we had on the trip. The room itself was gorgeous with a lovely standalone bath. But the decking was the best part - 2 sofas and a table plus a dining table and chairs plus sunbeds as well as space for us to do morning yoga too!! We felt like celebrities lounging all day in our bungalow. We could tell the sea would have been absolutely gorgeous without the debris. The end of pontoon upgrade we got was lovely but not really that private as there were constant day trip boats going past visiting the coral garden. We joined in the fun and waved at them all but if you were hoping to get true privacy then you might have been disappointed. Our upgrade’ unfortunately meant we didn’t have a sunset view which we had booked but the debris seemed to be more on that side so we didn’t mind. The real highlight of this hotel for me was the manager. He greeted us on arrival and his passion for the resort shone through. He spoke to us during our stay and met us at the boat to wave us off. He really gave a personal touch and his involvement and friendliness was a highlight for us. The bar staff was very slow in the main hotel bar taking forever to prepare each drink. The breakfasts were lovely. We had a canoe breakfast one morning and that was a fabulous experience and so much food!! We enjoyed a dinner in the main restaurant one night which was nice. Also tapas in the bar which we enjoyed. But the real highlight was Tipairui. The food was beautiful and the staff were really lovely teaching us Tahitian words and singing and really made the experience stand out from the other meals we had in French Polynesia. The ice cream parlour was nice. The beach bar was frustrating as there were so many flies you really couldn’t help but be distracted by them. This hadn’t been the case in the other FP islands. We loved going to the helipad for sunset - it’s a shame there wasn’t anywhere in the resort to sit and watch it but it made it feel special to walk round. The coral garden was cool but the current is so strong! When we went the water really didn’t seem deep enough to navigate the current and the coral without bashing into it and I think me and my husband caught ourselves on the fork - even though we asked the staff what the best time of day was (10am and 3pm apparently but that might have been about less crowds rather than water / tide depth). The hotel gives out free reef safe sunscreen which was a great touch. Their pool area was nice and we spent half a day relaxing there before enjoying their Sunday BBQ of the catch of the day. Pricy. But nice. We played table football and tennis and walked around the grounds. We loved seeing the crabs and despite the current there were some great fish in the coral. We bought some pearl earrings from their pearl market. We had hoped to go on their sunset cruise but it needed 4 people and there was only us two. So that was a shame. The concierge wasn’t the friendliest we had dealt with! There was free water around the resort. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Our favourite place was Bora Bora but glad we got to experience Tahaa too and felt we really relaxed while there.

Amazing hotel, located on private island with magic scenery, beautiful surroundings and top personal

Paradise at its absolute best! This resort has it all and everyone is there to make sure your stay is perfect ! And perfect it was .

Everything was perfect here. I loved snorkeling in the corral garden. The bungalow was stunning!! So glad chose to stay here as part of our visit to French Polynesia.
