We highly recommend this hotel. We stayed in others on the island, and this one is the best. When we return next April, we will definitely stay at this one. After sailing 5000 miles, we looked forward to a comfortable bed and hot showers. At the Raiatea Lodge we got those basics and much more. The friendly young owners speak... more

Our party of 17 had just completed a memorable five day catamarran sail around Raiatea and Bora Bora. We needed another bit of French Polynesian magic to help us wrap up our holidays and prepare for our return to the day to day in California. The lodge and staff met this expectation. The vast open plantation style terrace, lounge and... more

We highly recommend Raiatea Lodge Hotel. The friendliness and hospitality afforded by the hosts, Karine & Oliver was above and beyond what you might expect at a hotel. It was a very personal and caring service, which was shown by the other staff of the hotel also. We found staying here to be a much more warm and friendly experience... more

Three friends and I stayed at the Raiatea Lodge the night before and the night after a 2-week boat charter. I had found it on the Internet and was delighted as soon as I saw it. It is a 2-story building with all of the rooms on the second floor looking out over a green, palm-covered lawn and lovely pool,... more

We stayed one night before beginning a bareboat charter. A marvelous beginning to a two week sailing vacation. Rather than stay at the dock at the end of our charter we came back to Raiatea Lodge. An elegant ending to a fine journey. Our first encounter with the waters of Polynesia was using the free kayaks furnished to paddle out... more

The Raiatea Lodge Hotel is the perfect place to stay on the island. A group of us had sailed for several days around the islands and this was the hotel we chose to stay for two days before heading back to the U.S. The owners, Karin and Oliver, could not have been more accommodating - arranging transportation into town, answering... more

I agree completely with the other recent reviewers, so I won't repeat their comments at length. The new owners are very gracious and welcoming and the whole hotel just has a really good feel to it. The large open-air lobby is a great meeting point and comfortable lounging area. The rooms are airy and comfortable with pleasant balconies looking out... more

We've just spent the last few days at the Raiatea Lodge. Karen and Olivier were the consumate hosts. They were friendly and accommodating and made us feel like true friends of the family. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, low-key island experience. more

Raiatea Lodge was indeed a very lucky find, as we needed accomodation at short notice! This small family run hotel is very clean, tastefully decorated with lovely grounds and a nice size pool. The bedrooms are a good size, as are the bathrooms, and all have a sea view and aircon. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. The... more
