Reviews of Maitai Lapita Village Huahine 3 stars

EVERYTHING :) It is a bit on the expensive side, but still far from OWB prices. And basically you get one of the most wonderful beaches and snorkel-spots you can imagine. Rooms are tidy, wonderful, and it indeed feels like a Garden of Eden, or a Village. We walked by foot from the ferry - 2 minutes walk on the shore. Shops, foodtrucks nearby - the restaurant is second-to-none. Stuff are not just friendly, but incredibly funny, in a good way. We celebrated my birthday night here - I will never ever forget it :)

NOTHING

The staff and our room

The beach. Lots of rocks in the water and drop off

We loved the friendly staff, food was good and the pool/ beach was relaxing. We had a great stay.

This is a beautiful and friendly place. Our bungalow was exceptionally spacious with a beautiful outdoor deck and plunge pool. Wonderful friendly staff who completely exceeded our expectations.

As a dark sky person, I would have liked less outdoor lighting on the bungalow to optimize viewing of the gorgeous night skies

Very peaceful place. Perfect location. Great staff. Very clean. We will come back.

Environmental and decoration

Missing some points: no luggage carrier, no toothbrush. They forgot us fir the excursion

Everything was great

Good bangalos and location

They could be more flexible with check in and check out times.

It’s beautiful. Lush green grounds, friendly staff. Resort pool and restaurant. We had the private pool with our suite. Do it!! You will not regret it for a moment. We were in unit 307. The air conditioning worked great. Only comment is when it rained hard, there was a bit of a sulphur smell and then the mosquitoes came out a bit (bring bug spray in case). But none of that would deter me from choosing that guy simply because it was so private. No one needed to walk in front of our place. The water is purified and safe at the resort (it was at the time of my writing this) and they do give you one bottle of water at the start of your stay. The town is a 5 min walk down the beach and is worth going in. The grocery store is massive! So much stuff! And a load of bread there is cheap! The fridge is more like a cooler, so they say don’t keep food in it because it won’t be safe. We grabbed a plastic baggie and filled it with ice to keep the fridge cold enough to keep some small bits of food safe. But it is definitely not a fridge. When you go to your room, you put your key in a slot which gets the power fired up. So when you are away (unless you get two keys), the air conditioned stops as does the fridge. Good news. The air conditioner cools the place reasonably quickly The resort restaurant is okay. The Cajun rub chicken with fries is yummy. The beef tenderloin is good as is the veal. We did not do breakfast but our friends called it mediocre. However the chocolate croissants were delicious! Be aware that there are specific meal times. Can’t remember specifically but it goes something like breakfast from 6:30-9:30. Lunch from 11:45-2 and dinner from 6:45-9:30. Outside of that. No food. The beach out front of the restaurant is lovely with some decent snorkelling. The staff were very friendly and always smiling. Make sure you greet them with a “yor-Anna” (not how it’s spelled! Lol). And always say thank you “ma-roo-roo” (again… not how it’s spelled. ) A great spot.

I would have so appreciated a proper fridge.

The people were extremely nice and helpful. We really didn’t have any issues in the 8 days we were there.

The food in the restaurant was adequate. We didn’t eat there much as the prices were quite high for the quality.

The staff were nice

Properly seemed a little run down. They were short staffed.

Besides the food, everything

The food: 1.Dinner - Small portions expensive prices taste ok 2. Breakfast - very limited buffet

Such a beautiful location with bungalows on the lake edge. The resort was well spaced so was quiet and peaceful . The small beach and pool were great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My partner is coeliac and needed gluten free meals which the staff were very thoughtful about supplying. Meals were excellent with plenty of variety. I would definitely stay here again if we get the chance to return to Huahine

Don't agree with 2 cats wandering through the restaurant area.

The room was very expensive and breakfast was not included. Theycharged $35 pp for breakfast do we passed

No gym or any activities. The hotel charged $ 74 for Rt to the airport which is 5 minute away!
