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 resort. We had an ocean view hut with hot tub. We enjoyed it very much. We snorkeled right off the beach. There is only one restaurant. It's lovely but pricey especially the drinks ( averaging $15-25). Other local eateries are snack places. Not bad but limited menus. Don't miss snorkeling the aquarium and drifting the pass

Beautiful setting amongst groves of palm trees, with good swimming/snorkeling. Beach-front bungalow was great for lounging by the water (loved the hammocks), though wish room was better lit and had AC that worked in both rooms.

10/10 Recommend! Most amazing experience!

Kia Ora was nothing short of amazing!! The property is so beautiful, the employees happy & helpful, and the food is beyond delicious. We ate every single meal on site because it was just THAT good. They shuttled us to and from the airport which made things simple and rented us a car for a few hours to explore the motu hassle-free. We 10/10 recommend and will return!
