We had a lovely holiday at Le Taha'a for our 20 year wedding anniversary. The property is stunning and so well kept. The gardens are amazing! We stayed in a Beach Villa which was so cool having our own beach and our own pool also. The food was all lovely. It is expensive but you so expect that for the remoteness of the place. We loved the Coral Gardens being so close we could snorkel most days if we wanted and all snorkelling equipment is free. We did a tour also of the island Taha'a and this was good to, very interesting how the Tahitians survive. The Rum distillery was good, Vanilla farm, and Pearl Farm very interesting. We loved the relaxation and quietness of Le Taha'a.

What a lovely resort Le Ta'haa! Paradise on earth! On arrival in the reception area each guest was met by the general manager, Laurent, I believe is his name, who introduced himself and welcomed me to the resort. How nice to individually welcome guests. My overwater villa was available early, so I was able to access my room soon after I arrived, very spacious. I can't empathise how clear the water is. I enjoyed gourmet dinner one night, dinner at Titiraina and the wonderful Polynesian show at Hawaiki Nui, where the ladies from the restaurant danced their traditional dance, it was lovely. From the gardeners to the security guards, restaurant and reception staff, all were friendly, acknowledged and greeted guests. Very professional! The property grounds were very well maintained. Swimming in the ocean with the multiple variety of fish is amazing. I also recommend touring the mainland to experience some of the local culture. Thank you to Donata, Anaik, Thilda, Lailana in reception and all the resort staff. Will definitely come back!

Absolutely stunning property. Staff is wonderful and helpful. We had a fantastic time. The bungalows are clean and beautiful and the coral gardens are amazing. Only constructive criticism is we were not told that we (and I think everyone) has breakfast daily included. We didn’t realize this until the third day. But again otherwise all around a wonderful stay! Thank you!!

Location is great. Rooms are dated and need updating and repair. Polynesian staff were friendly and helpful. Other staff, not so much. Breakfast which was included was always good. The other eating venues were hit and miss. Would not stay again and felt the price charged wasn't worth what price paid.

Overall good; poor shuttle & check in/out service

Our stay was really good. We stayed at one of their over water bungalows for two nights as part of our honeymoon. Upon arrival they gave us a bottle of champagne which was a very nice touch. The bungalows inside is spacious and very nice. The coral gardens are an amazing spot to snorkel and I really appreciated that all snorkelling equipment was available as well as SUP and kayaks. Food is really good, especially the breakfast buffet! Couple of things spoiled our stay which surprised me given it is a luxury resort. The pick up boat was delayed by 40min causing us to miss the sunset. No real compensation was given for this despite we raised the issue; all we got was a welcoming rehearsed speech from the hotel manager that felt a bit fake. Bearing in mind that they charge ~6300xpf per person per way for the shuttle service, you’d definitely expect something better than this! Also the check in process took 30min, it was 5pm by then so it was unclear why it took them so long! We also felt that once we checked out all the niceness was gone; no music on the noisy shuttle back, no water/drink - it felt quite transactional. Finally the overwater bungalows need a touch up on the exterior as the harsh environmental conditions of them being exposed to water and wind daily have clearly left a mark! Overall good but I’d encourage the staff to make a couple of tweaks to make sure an excellent experience is guaranteed all the way from pick up through drop off at the airport.

The property is magical, perfect in any way. The lagoon water and facilities are even more beautiful than in some resorts in Bora Bora. The snorkeling in the corral garden is a fantastic addition. The staff and little gifts made us feel wellcome from the start till the end. Would come back in a split second. If I had to suggest anything for improvement, it would be to have a well trained and dedicated bartender and more interesting dinner options at the restaurant, though the food presentation was fantastic, as well as the breakfast buffet. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Beautiful property and the bungalow was clean and well decorated. There are limited, expensive, food choices as you are on an island. We could not leave earlier on the day of departure as the boat was full. A/C went out at 11p and they had no one to fix. They did not have fans or offer to move us. The pearl shop is expensive and not the best quality. Our excursion was not as advertised and was more of a tour of gift shops. The snorkeling was great. They did let us have the room longer to shower after swimming on the day of departure. In room fridge had a few free drinks and snacks refilled each day. They also provided a water bottle and had a water dispenser near the ice machine.

13 years ago, I visited this property as a journalist on a sponsored press trip and never forgot my experience. I hoped to be able to afford to one day return as a guest, as being a young reporter, staying here would’ve been completely cost prohibitive. Over a decade later I returned with my fiancé to celebrate his 50th birthday. Since my last visit, the hotel has evolved into being one of the most luxurious resorts in the world, though the beauty of Le Taa’ah is that you never really feel like you’re in a resort — more like a rarefied boutique hotel where no detail has been spared. This is paradise on earth. Every experience from the spa to a private motu picnic to simply a poolside cocktail feels completely bespoke. Try to time your visit for Polynesian night, when there is a bountiful spread of fresh caught fish and beautiful sashimi on offer as well as live music and dance under the stars. Tipairua is the fine dining restaurant on property and Chef Christophe certainly plays up to his two-Michelin star rating. (Though even the most casual meal at Le Taha’a is as vibrant on the palate as it is visually stunning). I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Whether you go as a couple for the most romantic getaway of your life or by yourself for a restorative wellness retreat, you will return home dreaming of the technicolor waters, the scent of vanilla and tiare, and the warm hospitality you are enveloped in at this property for weeks on end.

Overall stay was good, but I don't think we'd select this resort for future travel to French Polynesia at the current price point. This is a very nice hotel with no major faults but I would not characterize it as a luxury property. The island itself is gorgeous with a great house reef. We stayed in a beach villa (now branded a premium beach villa) and found the room to be nice but in need of updates with lumpy beds and old fixtures (which they appear to have started on). The room was very kid friendly including a gate around the villa pool. Where the resort falls short of a luxury designation is with the service. Staff are generally warm but we had numerous issues. Examples include the shower room being ready an hour later than we were told (on departure this matters as you're catching a boat), multiple requests that were forgotten with no follow up (wine glasses in room, concierge requests on bike pricing in Tahaa, etc.), incorrect transfer times for activities (told pickup at 11 AM, actually 1 PM). The grounds are nice but you can tell it wasn't intended to be a premium/luxury resort. Again no deal breakers and we ultimately had a nice experience.

This resort was a disappointment. We stayed at Le Bora Bora before we came to Le Tahaa and wished we had of stayed at Le Bora Bora. Le Tahaa is very run down. We stayed in a one bedroom with pool. The pool was in bad shape but still useable. There were chunks of grout missing in the tile and the decking was uneven in areas. The outdoor furniture was in very bad shape. There are very few electrical outlets and no USB ports. The shower floor was not directing water to the drain and the shower was an open concept, so the water would eventually start to flood out into the rest of the bathroom. We told the front desk and someone from maintenance came to fix it but they just took the drain cover out, said they would be back, and left. They never came back, and we had to keep turning off the water during our showers to stop the flooding. There was an outdoor tub/shower if you wanted use it but there were a lot of mosquitoes so it was risky. The layout of the bungalow was strange in that there was an open breezeway area where you came in and the bedroom off to one side and the sitting area to the other. The air conditioning worked well. Tahaa is very beautiful, and the resort grounds were very nice and well maintained. The main pool was in need of updating and was small. The snorkelling was good but it seemed like there was more to see at Le Bora Bora. The main restaurant was good and had a beautiful setting in the trees. The staff were very, very nice.

The island of Taha'a is absolutely gorgeous and has many wonderful excursions to offer. We were disappointed by how outdated the resort was. The overwater bungalows need a serious overhaul. The walls were coming apart, there were stains all over the outdoor furniture and the bathroom had an "ick" factor. Every time the cleaning staff came in, they left behind huge clumps of hair and on one occasion, a disgusting cleaning rag was left on our furniture. There was a chunk in the wood floor missing as well. Overall, we didn't feel really comfortable/clean in the room. I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than 3 days, unless you're doing tons of excursions. The resort pool is small and the bartenders at the pool seemingly didn't know how to make certain drinks on their menu. The staff that was supposed to hand out towels and snorkle equipment was almost never available and we were constantly sneaking in to grab items ourselves. The resort only has one restaurant for dinner outside of the 5-course L'Ohiri so if you don't like the menu (which honestly, left much to be desired) then you're out of luck. The lunch restaurant was very good but I didn't like that food wasn't available at all times throughout the day. You had to be strategic about when to eat. We really enjoyed the Tiki Bar but wish it offered happy hour or was open earlier than 6. Walking around the resort, you kind of felt like you were at an American campgroup. There weren't any frills/luxuries to the grounds.
