Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa

The bungalow was amazing and the property was fabulous. The dinner menus was a challenge and a bit disappointing.

This review is long overdue. Our trip was magical! We spend 10 nights in French Polynesia, 5 nights of which was in Le Taha'a. From the moment we arrived, the check-in was smooth, the OTW bungalows had an amazing view of the lagoon. It was like out of a perfect movie, lying in bed or on the patio and looking at the beautiful lagoon and mountains. The customer service was exceptional. There is an ice cream shop that was the highlight for our kids, and we felt so safe knowing that we were in a "private" island. We booked our trip through Claudia from Pacific for Less. She made the whole trip so stress free, even though we were a big group by arranging everything beforehand and giving us insights of where to go and what to do.

We stayed at Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts in June 2025 for our 10-year anniversary, and we truly can’t say enough good things about this magical place. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly warm and friendly—genuinely so, never forced. The general manager personally greeted us at check-in and even saw us off at check-out with thoughtful gifts, which was such a special touch. We spent one night in a beach villa, which was absolutely stunning and featured the coolest outdoor bathroom we've ever seen. Then, we moved to an overwater bungalow and were upgraded to an end-of-pontoon unit—an unforgettable bucket-list experience. The views, the privacy, and the proximity to marine life made it surreal. At night, we saw sharks and rays from the dock, and the underwater lights by our bungalow attracted countless fish, making it feel like a private aquarium. The coral around the property is fantastic, and snorkeling in the nearby coral garden was a highlight—just make sure to bring water shoes! We also had an incredible paddleboarding experience, gliding over clear blue waters for nearly half a mile before reaching coral-rich, deeper waters. It was absolutely breathtaking. The rooms were decorated beautifully with fresh flowers and special touches for our anniversary, which made us feel so celebrated. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent, but the standout was Polynesian night—a mesmerizing show with talented dancers, an incredible fire performance, and truly delicious food, especially the tuna. We also did a tour organized by the resort to the main island of Taha’a, where we visited a vanilla processing plant and enjoyed a scenic drive around the island. Don’t miss the resort’s ice cream shop either—it’s a hidden gem! We’re in our late 30s/early 40s and couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to relax, celebrate, and connect. The blend of luxury with culturally thoughtful design, the genuine hospitality, and the incredible setting all combined to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We can’t recommend Le Taha’a enough—it was pure paradise.

Le Taha’a was the first overwater stay during our recent trip to the Society Islands and it was everything that we’d hoped for and more. Everything from the easy airport transport, greeting by eukalele, smooth check in and the view were simply amazing! We were impressed by the kindness of the staff, the intimacy and serenity of the resort and food was sensational. We even booked a tour through the concierge, who set us up with a half-day tour with Aro Ma’ohi. Aro was amazing as he led us on a tour of a distillery, pearl farm and vanilla plantation. His knowledge and love of his island were very apparent and he gave such an authentic and fantastic tour that included demonstrations of Tahitian culture as well. We’re so thankful of our time on the Vanilla Island and cannot wait to come back!

Do yourself a favor and stay here! Every bit of this place is outstanding. The property is so awesome. Would recommend bungalow 7! The people do a great job of taking care of the guests. Smiles were genuine and everything was made easy. Snorkeling was amazing as well. Go as many times as you can. Worth it! Maruru to the team!
