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.

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 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

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
