May 28, 2025It needs a definitive refurbishment and a better breakfast, restaurant and bar.
It seems that the Kia Ora is the best hotel in Rangiroa, with four stars. But under normal conditions, it would deserve two stars at most. The bungalows needed refurbishing at least 10 years ago. Everything is old and falling apart, the towels have unremovable stains, the air conditioning is just a fan without cooling, and so on. On top of that, the only restaurant/bar is very poor. Breakfast is the worst. If you don't arrive early, you'll get more or less whatever the other guests have left. The English of some of the service staff is very poor. Drinks in the bar didn't taste like they should. They served the most disgusting Mojito of my life to me. The fitness center is a small hut only with old and rusty equipment. However, we would like to point out that the reception and activity desk staff are very friendly and helpful. And we liked their Polynesian show (but not the Polynesian buffet). Overall, this hotel is too expensive for what it offers. We wouldn't come back and can't recommend it.

Loved our stay here for 5 nights. Gorgeous beachfront room with private pool. Very serene, gracious staff. Excellent food, beautiful beach, main pool. Cute workout room in a coconut grove. Wonderful massages. Highly recommended! Easy place to completely unwind.

Apr 27, 2025Not suitable for snorkelling.
Stefano Senatore 2/5 un minuto fa su Google I have been to this resort with my family and unfortunately my rating does not exceed two stars.The resort is well maintained, with a small beach. We were in a small family house with a small indoor pool, not renovated but kept well. Full of annoying mosquitoes, though. The resort is very basic compared to the Bora Bora and Moorea resorts we visited, with a restaurant menu of elementary quality, decent service and a rude and unprofessional reception manager. The excursions offered are long but enjoyable. Not suitable for snorkelling, except for the resort's coral garden. They should improve many thingto attract more customers.

Beautiful!!
The island is very small and very beautiful. Amazing water colors. Most people are very friendly. Went on a fishing tour and had a tiger shark for a visitor, a bit scary but a once in a lifetime experience, even for the captain, he was so excited! We found a tiny place to eat called Chez Rua, highly recommend, the fish was amazing!! Came in a paper bag with fries and mayo in a leaf. So cool how they work with what they have. I hope to go back someday.

Superb experience in Rangiroa
This was our first trip to French Polynesia. As avid SCUBA divers we wanted to ensure we had a good experience for a resort based trip and the Kia Ora seemed to fit the bill. We arranged our stay and contacted the on-site dive operator (Blue Velvet) to arrange our diving. The Blue Velvet is associated with The6Passengers dive operations - see my separate review. We were met at the Rangiroa airport as arranged, no issues at all. The staff were happy to see us and explained the resort well. We were in the first bungalow, right on the beach. We had a private spa tub on the back patio facing the lagoon beach. Very nice overall. The room was spacious and typical for polynesia - set your expectations appropriately - this is NOT going to be hermetically sealed room - we had small lizards and other little bugs on occasion - all part of being in the remote South Pacific. The Air conditioner blows onto one side of the bed - don't turn it too low - you are going to be warm the entire time you are in Polynesia - again, set your expectations. The staff was wonderful - friendly, attentive and ready to help at a moment's notice. We were picked up at the resort dock each day for our diving and dropped off either in between or at the end of our dive day. The local representative helped and accompanied us each time to and from. The room was clean and nice - staff cleaned daily and kept everything stocked as needed. Two water bottles provided each day (you will get more at the restaurant). Most of the guests when we arrived were French, with a couple others. As we got to the end of the week many more guests arrived with a mix of locals, French, Americans and more. The hotel pool is a nice infinity pool, good for kids as it is not deep and comfortable - right on the lagoon. The hotel bar is open 11 to 11 - super friendly, nice drinks and snacks. We loved the house-made chips each afternoon. Strongly recommend bringing some insect repellent. We did get quite a few mosquito bites at night. The are tiny mosquitos, yet I, who is normally left alone by then, got eaten up pretty well. Power is French standard - easy adapters if needed available at the front desk (we brought ours) Internet is included - not super speed, but consistent. and now for the restaurant. The restaurant is reportedly the best on the island. I can see why. Breakfast is buffet style - eggs to order and plentiful. Good options for vegetarians and vegans too. Opens at 7am - as we were diving, the told us we could arrive at 6:45 - easy and accomodating. Lunch starts at noon. Simply amazing and good food. Great service staff. SOOOOOO good! From local dishes to pizza or a hamburger - the menu is fairly set, yet we were able to try all the options during our week stay. Nothing was bad at all. The fries are excellent as well. Loved the curry chicken, loved the Tahitian marinated fish salad, so many more options - my wife had the cheesburger one day and the fish burger another - both excellent. The fish tartar one day as well - very good, a bit of a lot to eat ;) The House chow mein was also excellent with a vegetarian version option. Dinners were off the hook delicious. Multiple fish options that delighted us each night. The steak options were truly impressive with flavor and preparation. We like RARE and they delivered! New Zealand beef - superb. the fish options were all excellent. Strongly recommend the parrotfish, the unicornfish, the wahoo, the tuna and mahi mahi - all local, all superb. I had the duck one night as well - heaven! My wife also had the prawns with curry sauce - also amazingly delicious. Twice there were Polynesian entertainments at dinner. Very nice local culture. One night we had the Polynesian buffet and BBQ - excellent options for all tastes. Desserts were amazing - I strongly recommend the chocolate sphere with passion fruit center - wow! The restaurant manager did absolutely everything in his power to ensure we were happy during our stay. Sebastien is a lovely fellow and his staff are there to ensure you enjoy every meal. We also did one land excursion to a local pearl farm - very informative and fun afternoon. The resort has a lot of other excursion options we did not take advantage of as we were diving nearly the entire week. Overall - Superb! Kid friendly and adult friendly.
