This hotel is the original with the over water bungalow concept, so the units look dated and in need of some sprucing up. Our stay was comfortable, you dive off your balcony into deep water, the view is out to one of the lagoon passes. ##### Frans ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 26 Jan 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, Tired accomodation Staff is great and friendly. The location is great. The hotel however is very run down and in major need of an update. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Kenneth, Alameda CA 13 Jan 2015 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Only one night but.... A nice overwater hotel. A quiet hotel with swimming and snorkeling right from your deck. Not a "new" hotel but comfortable. We were only there one night in preparation for our sailing charter but a nice place to "start" our Tahiti vacation. ##### Kenneth ### 6/10 Okay #### sharon, Washington, DC 30 Dec 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Amazing Food and Friendly Service Food at this hotel is outstanding. Some of the best food we had in our 14 day 4 islands visited in French Polynesia and better than the 4 & 5 star hotels we stayed at during this trip. The continental breakfast was much more than coffee and a croissant -- lots of fruit, yogurt, meat, cheese, etc. If you are a foodie this is a great place to stay at. Also a place that the locals go to for lunch/dinner. This is not updated hotel. Basic, clean rooms. Bedding is clean. We observed that all rooms were cleaned daily even the ones not used the night before. Stayed 3 nights. Snorkeling right off of the dock was also fantastic. ##### sharon ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Nov 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Bon sejour Bon séjour de 4 jours dans cet hotel: Joli cadre, Chambre confortable, Personnel tres aimable. A 15 minutes a pied de la ville. Petit dejeuner bon et copieux ( buffet). Dommage pour l'absence de wifi gratuit! ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy, Bretagne 28 Oct 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Hôtel très sympathique Hôtel très sympathique. Chambres un peu défraîchies mais plutôt agréables. Activités de plongée sous-marine variées. Restaurant décevant avec des aliments dont la fraîcheur semble douteuse. On mange bien mieux dans les restaurants environnants. ##### Timothy ### 4/10 Poor #### JM, PIRAE 28 Oct 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### décevant à un tarif aussi élevé Notre bungalow sur pilotis : - carrelage de la salle de bain d'origine et bien abîmé - pas de barre pour sécher les serviettes - un placard (grand) dont les portes sont dégradées et sorties de leur rail - un coffre fort inutilisable (ne ferme pas) - une terrasse dont une partie des lames ne tient plus très bien, et qui mériterait d'être remplacée - des algues et une anémone ont élu domicile sur l'échelle de bains dont la peinture ... a disparu - l'un des bains de soleil était cassé, et n'a pas été remplacé, malgré ce que l'on nous a dit - les poutres sont attaquées par des termites qui font tomber des poussières sur le lit ... - lit composé de deux lits simples (c'est classique) sauf qu'il restait un creux de quelques centimètres entre les matelas - à l'issue de la première nuit, le lit a été refait en laissant toutes les poussières de termites à l'intérieur ! - des lampes de chevet en partie noircies par un mauvais choix d'ampoule - des portes fenêtres qui ferment mal - des rideaux sales et troués - des tâches sur les taies d'oreiller En plus : l'un des soirs, l'hôtel a privatisé le restaurant pour un mariage, avec à la clé la fiesta jusqu'à 2h du matin ... en Polynésie tout est ouvert et aéré : nous avons donc été associés à la musique, même si nous ne le souhaitions pas. Pourtant le prix est élevé : on s'attendait donc à un qualité bien meilleure. ##### JM ### 4/10 Poor #### Maja, switzerland 23 Oct 2014 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### No maintenance, too expensive It is a pity that there is no maintenance and it is too near to the main street so the garden bungalows must be very noisy. For that what it offers it is too expensive. ##### Maja ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik, Hawaii 3 Oct 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent These were the first over water bungalows built in French Polynesia and despite being a bit older than others, they are great. They do show some signs of age but that's part of their charm. We stayed at the fancier Sofitel in Bora Bora and we much preferred the Hawaiki Nui in terms of location, staff, views, amenities, and price. Wonderful location and lots of fish in the water. The snorkeling right off the deck is good unless the water is choppy (sometimes it gets windy) but the water drops off substantially just past the bungalows so it's best closer in. It's a short trip to a private motu by boat and everything you might need is a 15 minute walk away in Uturoa (watch out for dogs along the way). Make sure to take the tour over to Taha'a that the hotel offers. The hotel restaurant is also excellent. My wife and I are both vegetarian and they made special dishes for us. Prices were reasonable as well. The staff is nice, genuine, and very friendly. We went to 7 different islands in FP and Raiatea was one of our favorites. Next time we visit, we will definitely be coming back to the Hawaiki Nui. ##### Erik ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy, San Francisco Bay Area 30 Sept 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best Place on Raitea We stayed 2 nights prior to my captaining a Moorings catamaran for 10 days. The staff is very helpful except for one older waitress that seemed to be having a bad night and never even offered desert. The housekeeping staff showed up at 9:00 AM to clean our room and despite our "Do Not Disturb" sign and my yelling 3 times to go away they started to open the door with my wife and I naked in bed. I had to jump out of bed to bar the door. They never came back that day to clean or change the towels. Our room was next to the road so it was not quiet. The good part was the food was very good, the property is in a great location, the air conditioning worked, and the thatched hut bungalows and grounds right on the water are very appealing and the place is clean. Try to avoid a bungalow by the roadside. This is the best place to stay on Raitea. Just make a reservation and stop worrying. PS- be careful ordering a martini. If they ask you "Red or White" they may give you straight "Martini & Rossi" vermouth. Yeech! ##### Timothy ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 25 Sept 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel à ne pas recommender. Nous avions reservé un bungalow sur pilotis. Déception en arrivant...les portes patio donnant sur le balcon ne fermaient pas complètement, la salle de bain était crasseuse, on nous a dit que si on sortait sur le balcon, il ne fallait pas fermer les portes car on ne pouvait rentrer à l'intérieur. Les moustiques étant present partout, on faisait rentrer les moustiques. On ne pouvait utiliser le coffre-fort, pas de telephone dans la chambre, les prestations offertes par l'hôtel étaient toujours complètes. Donc pas de service efficace. Nous avons demandé de changer de chambre pour une chambre vue sur jardin moins cher mais aucun remboursement par l'hôtel car nous avions reserve avec Expedia. Sur 5 îles en Polynésie avec autant d'hôtel, c'est l'hôtel que je ne recommande à personne. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Judy, New Zealand 22 Sept 2014 Liked: Staff & service #### Pleasant place to stay in tropical setting Hotel staff make every effort to make your experience a happy and memorable one. They are beautiful friendly people who try to accommodate your every wish. The Friday night show is not to be missed as its absolutely fabulous with traditional music song and dance ##### Judy ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicolas, Paris 7 Sept 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vieillissant Propreté douteuse. l’hôtel a besoin besoin d'être rénové.Fforte odeur d'humidité dans la chambre ##### Nicolas ### 8/10 Good #### J Jacob, Dallas, TX 23 Jun 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Pre-sail Stay Stayed in this hotel prior to picking up our charter boat on Rai'atea. It was clean and nice but a little outdated. The location was perfect and the staff was very nice. Two semi-big negatives...We had a dinner that had some "not so good" items but the manager took them off our bill. We unknowingly asked the hotel to arrange our airport transfer via email as we were nit sure what to expect which ended up costing 3 times the normal rate as the hotel took a large cut off the top. Would book again but would eat elsewhere and make our own travel arrangements. ##### J Jacob ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara, US 17 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel in Paradise Staff was exceptionally friendly and informative. Food was very good, rooms air conditioned for we wimpy Americans. There was a lively and authentic show on Friday night which was great fun. Would certainly stay again if we went back to the Islands. ##### Sara ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judi, Indiana 13 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful surprise Beautiful resort.

Point de vue magnifique sur deux motus. Personnel très agréable, à disposition. Activités annexes organisées sur place intéressantes (location de voiture, kayak, sorties baleines). Jolis jardin et piscine. Idéal pour les amateurs de levers de soleil ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judybug, Los Angeles, CA 3 Sept 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice location in Raiatea This hotel is in a very nice location on the water. The staff was fantastic and very friendly - we were greeted with a fruit drink and leis when we arrived; check in was quick and our bags delivered to our over-water bungalow before we walked through the gardens to get to the bungalow. The property is one of the oldest over-water bungalow hotels in the islands but it has aged well. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. We did not use the marina, sports center or the swimming pool but the snorkeling around the bungalows was great; you jump right into the ocean from your deck. Beach towels were provided in each room, and there was a table and chairs for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails, and two lounge chairs for catching some sun. We ate at the hotel for all meals; breakfast buffet wasn't all that great but the dinners were al la carte and everything we ate was very good. The free Polynesian show on Friday nights can't be missed - a five star experience! Overall rating for the hotel is excellent but don't expect fancy. It's a small resort that has been carefully cared for over the years. Pick it for the friendly staff and cleanliness and you won't be disappointed. We would definitely stay at Hawaiki Nui Hotel should we visit Raiatea again. ##### Judybug ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jan 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### VERY HAPPY WIH OUR OVERWATER BUNGALOW INCLUDED A FRIDAY NITE POLYNESIAN SHOW THAT WAS GREAT.

It does require some maintenance such as the glass floor in the room should be replace with a cleaner one and the deck boards can use a replacing, but still I enjoyed my stay there and would go back. I read reviews where people complained about the noise, and although it is loud, its the ocean waves crashing into the wall and for me, I enjoyed it and found it relaxing. I like being able to jump off the balcony into the ocean and the snorkeling was amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and enjoyed talking stories. The free Polynesian show was awesome and the dancers were Gorgeous. The town was about a 10-15 minute walk, so a car wasn't even needed. I just rented a scooter for 4 hours to circle the island. I recommend this hotel if you're in Raiatea! ##### Rich ### 8/10 Good #### alex 17 Aug 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort hotel tres sympathique ainsi que le personnel ##### alex ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grant, Auckland, New Zealand 21 Jun 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing Great relaxing no worries no hassel place to stay - really enjoyed it and the staff. ##### Grant ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 29 May 2012 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### beautiful location, too loud music its trying to be the "place to be" for locals on a wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday night. it meant loud thumping music in the bar which is easily audible from all rooms until midnight. Not at all what we were looking for in a honeymoon location. Can't recommend this hotel to anyone if they are going to continue with the bands/DJs 3/4 times a week, unless of course you're there as a single person, but then you wouldn't choose Polynesia as a holiday destination in the first place ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fare Pea Iti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tahaa-Hotels-Fare-Pea-Iti.h30479593.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taunton-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h33865682.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Fiti Island Break Mahina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahina-Hotels-Te-Fiti-Island-Break-Mahina.h36957545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Mile End Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mile-End-Park-Hotels.0-l553248623139890688-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [InterContinental Resort Tahiti by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faaa-Hotels-InterContinental-Resort-Tahiti.h20394.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hawkshead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hawkshead-Hotels.d182541.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moorea-Maiao-Hotels-Sofitel-Kia-Ora-Moorea-Beach-Resort.h554750.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/France-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d59-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Mitre House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mitre-House-Hotel.h9577114.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kia Ora Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangiroa-Hotels-Hotel-Kia-Ora-Resort-Spa.h1329033.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h977386.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Tahiti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punaauia-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Tahiti.h59626586.Hotel-Information) > > [25hours Hotel Dubai One Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-25Hours-Hotel-Dubai-One-Central.h73586368.Hotel-Information) > > [OZO Hotels Arena Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Ozo-Hotels-Arena-Amsterdam.h10094365.Hotel-Information) > > [Everglades Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Londonderry-Hotels-Everglades-Hotel.h49196.Hotel-Information) > > [Capsule Hotels Romania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Romania-Capsule-Hotels.d151-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cabin Rentals North Wales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Wales-Cabins.d6054276-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/ams/birmingham-to-amsterdam) ### Activities > [Things to do in Patong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Patong.d6337833.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Japan Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Japan.d89.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Rose Bowl Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rose-Bowl-Stadium-North-Arroyo.d501589.Attraction) > > [Morocco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/122/Morocco) > > [Luskentyre Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luskentyre-Beach-Harris.d6089013.Attraction)
