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!

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!

We had a wonderful time staying at this gorgeous hotel for our honeymoon. Stayed one night in the beachfront bungalow and two nights in the over water bungalows. Mind blowing! Staff was excellent and helpful. We also got a couples massage which was fantastic.

The view from our ocean facing room with pool was amazing. The room did not have windows however which made it hot at night but also very loud from the waves crashing during a storm. Even with ear plugs it was loud. Would love to have had some more gluten free food options and the food overall was just ok. Didn’t see abetter hotel option on the island and the diving we were able to do made the trip with the stay.

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

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.

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.

Avoid the Beach Bungalow

Our experience at the hotel significantly impacted what was otherwise an amazing trip to Rangiroa. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge the staff, they were warm, friendly, and provided excellent service. Our issue lies not with them, but with the condition of the accommodations, which is something the property’s investor or management needs to seriously address. We stayed in a beach bungalow, which felt extremely outdated, as if nothing had been updated in decades. The furniture, mattress, and bedding were worn and uncomfortable. The bathroom had a persistent humidity issue and an unpleasant odor, likely from years of use without renovation. While we understand the hotel is set in a natural environment, the level of pests inside the room was unacceptable, especially for a property charging $500 per night. We encountered cockroaches, ants on countertop and sofa, and never-ending number of mosquitoes inside the room. Despite using repellents, I woke up with new bites each morning. We later heard from other guests staying in beach bungalows that they experienced similar issues. I read the reviews after our stays and found comments from years ago mentioning the exact same problems, which makes it clear that management is aware but has chosen not to make necessary improvements. Perhaps we were unlucky to book the beach bungalow, as other room types appeared newer and better maintained. If you must stay at this hotel, do not stay in the beach bungalows.
