Li am very dissatisfied of this hotel,and the diving . The hotel price is quit high and not very cozy . Not fit this price . And very dirty in the room, the vila is very old , toilet is very very very smile and dirty ! There are few cockroachis we saw in the room. How can they sale 700 usd ! The diving here also not very good we didn’t see any dolphins!

God beliggenhed, god restaurant, venligt personale. Dårlig og utilregnelig rådgivning om udflugter.

Great staff! Kind and helpful. Great pool, beach, and snorkeling at resort. 10 minute boat ride from amazing snorkeling areas

Let me preface, I’m not one to rate any stay. We have been around the world and seen many properties in our day. The 5 nights we were there were good. Just good. The staff was friendly but not very accommodating. It happened to be a stay where the hotel appeared to running only 20% full occupancy which was amazing to feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. The Bad: The property is a bit run down and needs some upgrades. The pillows were shot and lumpy. Ice to the room was not an option and we had to get it from the bar every day. We asked for an umbrella on our deck and was told no. The Good: The restaurant was one of the most phenomenal and most delicious meals we have tasted ever tasted. Whoever is the chef, hats off to an amazing menu and staff. The dive center was also amazing and got to try scuba diving for the first time. Overall, glad we make the trip to this island and happy to experience the property but it’s a one and done.

Nice grounds and nice rooms - restaurant left alot to be desired as far as selection and service. Beds were also quite uncomfortable.

I would recommend this place to anyone going to Rangiroa.

Everything was wonderful! Loved the location and the sea life around the resort.

Nice to be able to swim right off the bungalow deck

We had an amazing stay at this hotel Kia Ora Resort &Spa in Rangiroa and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island. The service was outstanding from start to finish — the staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The on-site restaurant was excellent, offering a great menu with delicious food and a variety of breakfast options that we really enjoyed each morning. The view from the property is absolutely beautiful — perfect for relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Our room was very clean and well maintained. For those who prefer more privacy and quiet, I’d definitely suggest choosing one of the villa with a private pool — they offer a lovely secluded experience while still being close to everything. If you stay in a beach bungalow, be aware that you can hear the ocean waves at night — it’s quite soothing for some, but sometimes can get a bit loud. Overall, it was a perfect mix of comfort, great food, and genuine hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely fantastic, beautiful resort, fantastic staff, great food and drink! Would definitely go back! Thank you

Beautiful bungalow.

Food was delicious. On Sundays and Wednesdays they have BBQ buffet and Polynesian musicians and dancers. Very entertaining. Room was exceptionally clean. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful sunset views. There is a gift shop, but no real convenience store, so if you want snacks the closest store, depending on the day is either a mile or 7 miles away(14 round trip). Long trek on foot or on a bicycle but scenery is beautiful, so not so bad. Staff at the resort and the locals we met were always smiling and helpful, made for a very enjoyable trip.

The property was clean, beautiful, and well kept. The dock onsite was super helpful in not needing to meet at a different location for excursions. However…the dining set up is tricky. There are limited times the bar and restaurant are open. Also, there is a Polynesian night on Wednesday and sundays in which there is no other dining option available, and you must spend the $85/person if you want to eat at the resort. And there are not many other options on the atoll. Also, if you want to get bikes you have to pay, even on these Polynesian nights. This was crazy. We didn’t eat dinner one night because of this. There are also no snacks offered at the store. So go the buffet or don’t eat… Majority of staff is nice. There is however one older lady who works in the bar and front desk who harassed me and my family numerous times. She was disrespectful and rude upon arrival, throughout the stay, and when leaving. It seems like the staff are over worked and understaffed. Never saw any staff turnover. They all seemed exhausted. After spending upwards of $1000/night this unacceptable

My wife and I stayed at the Kia Ora while in Rangiroa for our honeymoon. The staff welcomed us early with complementary drinks and congratulated us, which we really appreciated. The suite was amazing, with the small swimming pool that we got to enjoy daily. The restaurant was very good, with one of the best breakfasts we have had in our trip, and the lunch/dinner options were wide. Every few days the hotel also had some shows for dinner. We also had a couple of activities via the hotel, which were very well organised and enjoyable. Will definitely come back here next time we're around!

Amazing underrated hotel with fantastic snorkeling. We stayed in a villa. Snorkeled right off the beach. Booked unforgeable excursions from the hotel. We stayed in bora bora at one of the resorts on a motu prior to our visit. While we liked it rangiroa and kia ora was our favorite. Felt much more authentic. 5/5.

Lovely hotel with wonderful staff, nice and quiet, beautiful setting, was able to book Blue Lagoon, massages, and winery tour all at check in very easily. Loved our stay and would like to return one day.

Of the 5 luxury resorts we have been to in French Polynesia, this is our favorite because it is very nice, very quiet and very relaxing. While is it not as luxurious as the 5 star resorts in Bora Bora - it isn't as expensive or busy. We never waited for a table for a meal and always found open loungers by the pool. The staff were all gracious and friendly. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place with great food.

Das beste Hotel auf Rangiroa! Wir verbrachten 3 wundervolle Nächte in einem der Pool-Bungalows (Jacuzzi) direkt am Strand. Der Bungalow war sauber, geräumig, mit einem großen Bad, separatem Wohnzimmer mit Couch, TV und Kühlschrank! Das Highlight ist aber unbestritten die große Terrasse mit beheiztem Jacuzzi inklusive Blick auf das traumhafte Wasser! Die Anlage ist super schön gestaltet und wirklich sehr weitläufig. Wenn man nicht in der Lagune oder der Insel unterwegs ist, kann man herrlich die Zeit am Infinity Pool oder am hoteleigenen Strand verbringen. Auch das Restaurant ist sehr gut, mit einer tollen Auswahl und sehr aufmerksamen Service! Von uns auf alle eine klare Weiterempfehlung - wenn Rangiroa dann Kia Ora!

Grundsätzlich schönes Hotel aber mit katastrophaler Preis-Leistung. Es gibt große Unterschiede bei den Bungalows in einer Kategorie. Wir hatten zunächst einen Strandbungalow, der moderner eingerichtet war und eine Aussendusche und -wanne hatte. Da der Whirlpool defekt war, haben wir gewechselt und haben einen älteren Bungalow ohne Aussenbereich, aber am schöneren Strandbereich bekommen. Auf dieser Seite des Hotels sind die Bungalows sehr in die Jahre gekommen und abgewohnt, der Sanitärbereich roch streng. Darüber hinaus macht sich das Hotel die Abgeschiedenheit (zu Fuß sind es ca 20min zum nächsten, kleineren Supermarkt oder zu Restaurants) zu nutze, indem die Preise für Fahrräder, Motoroller und Leihautos der Wucher sind (etwa 2000CFP für ein Fahrrad/2h). Dass Getränke und Essen teurer sind, da man Logistik und Personalkosten drauf rechnen muss ist klar und wir waren uns auch vorher bewusst, dass die Verpflegung dadurch mehr kosten wird. Jedoch kostet ein Bier im Hotel etwa das dreifach wie im Supermarkt. Enttäuscht hat uns vor allem das Buffet des polynesischen Abend: für 8500CFP pro Person bekommt man vor allem Muscheln, Fisch und Käse, kaum Gemüse, und Getränke exklusive. Für Schwangere und Kinder gab es beim Buffet so gut wie nichts essbares. Die Tänzer und Tänzerinnen der Show waren jedoch engagiert. Generell ist das Hotel stark auf die (in der Mehrheit befindlichen) französischen Gäste ausgerichtet - kaum die Hälfte der Kellnerinnen und Kellner sprach Englisch.
