Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa

Beautiful resort, friendly staff. 100% accommodating to every need a guest could have. The over water bungalow was private and quiet. The room was amazing. The coral garden was a huge plus to have so close by. We enjoyed every moment at this resort and would absolutely return and recommend. We especially appreciated an early check in upon arrival as well as a day room for a late checkout. The staff truly know the meaning of hospitality! We never felt the resort was crowded or had to wait for anything. Very exclusive feeling.

There aren't enough words in the world to describe how great this resort is. It's a perfect blend of the natural heritage and a high quality experience that we wish we could have stayed longer. From the room quality to the service to the food everything was top star!

It is a lovely resort. that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was our third time there. The people are all so friendly and provide excellent service.

Where to start! This trip was booked for Pacific for Less (a great travel agency!). I visited the islands of Taha'a and Bora Bora and am incredibly glad that I was able to stay at Le Taha'a as the experience here beat my experience on Bora Bora (although Bora Bora is obviously beautiful and a world of its own!). From our arrival at the Raiatea airport, we were greeted by friendly staff who gave us a lei and a flower crown (which were beautiful!). We were then taken via boat to the island of Taha'a, where we were again greeted by kind and friendly staff. The check-in process was so relaxing, where we were treated to a welcome drink. We were then escorted to our room and given a tour. We stayed at a premium beach bungalow, which was a great decision as the bungalow was so spacious and had gorgeous views of the clear blue water! As a side note, due to erosion some of the regular beach bungalows have a sea wall so you have to walk down a few steps (it's not a big deal at all, but we wanted the experience of being able to walk right from the sand into the water which is why we chose the premium beach bungalows). We were at the end of the resort and felt very private and relaxed with beautiful views of the islands. The resort was so beautifully landscaped, and the garden was gorgeous. The staff were all so friendly and greeted us every time we saw them. As a side note, it doesn't hurt to learn some basic French and Tahitian as those are largely spoken in French Polynesia. We got by with English, but made sure to know some basic words in both languages. We LOVED the coral gardens at Le Taha'a, which were natural and gorgeous. Before going on this trip, I did research, and many people said the drift current was very strong and difficult for many snorkelers. However, maybe it depends on the time of year and day, because when we went in June, the current was very mild (enough to stand up in the sand, not on the corals) and was perfect. We were told by the pool attendant that 10am is the highest tide, so we went at that time, which was perfect, because during low tide, the water can be below the corals, making it very difficult to move around the corals without hitting them. So be sure to speak with the staff, and they will tell you where to enter the reef (don't enter on the side nearest the resort as you will be going against the current) and the best time of the day to go (during high tide!). We also saw other tours going through the drift current and just simply followed what they were doing. It was so perfect, and the amount of fish we saw was outstanding. It was the best experience of my life! The food was pretty good, the Polynesian evening was perfect, and honestly, the weather was absolutely wonderful. At the end of our stay, when we had to leave for Bora Bora, the resort had a wonderful send-off for us, complete with music from Tattoo (the Polynesian local who sings, plays the ukulele, and is so kind), someone playing the drums, and the staff seeing us off. It was such a perfect experience, and I truly believe that that is because this resort is Polynesian-owned (unlike some others) and is smaller than other resorts (Including those on Bora Bora), so they are likely able to be more personal here. If you are looking for a more intimate experience where you feel like you're the only one staying there, friendly staff, gorgeous scenery, and water, stay here!

We stayed at Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts for our honeymoon and honestly didn’t want to leave. It’s without a doubt the best hotel in Taha’a. From the moment we arrived, everything just felt peaceful and special. Laurent welcomed us at check in with the warmest smile and made us feel immediately at home. He was also there when we checked out, which says a lot about how involved and attentive the team is. The staff overall were so kind and thoughtful. They had our room beautifully decorated for our honeymoon, which was such a sweet touch. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. We spent our days snorkeling straight from our overwater villa and swimming to the coral gardens nearby. There’s a private heart shaped motu you can swim to, and so many little islands and reef spots to explore right around the property. We were constantly in the water snorkeling, floating, exploring. The rooms have this beautiful wooden design that makes you feel like you’re tucked away in a luxurious treehouse. The views from breakfast are unreal you’re literally sitting above the trees with a full view of the turquoise lagoon. They also have filtered water dispensers in the rooms, which we appreciated. We really felt like we were on a peaceful adventure the entire time. It’s romantic, quiet, and just full of magic. If you’re coming to Taha’a, don’t think twice this is where you want to stay. 🫶
