Lovely location (beautiful views!) with amazing staff (shout out to Ghislaine!). It is a bit expensive and things like the bike and scooter rentals are add-ons as well, but this is what I'd expect in an isolated area like this. Do recommend!

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!

Food was delicious. On Sundays and Wednesdays they have BBQ buffet and Polynesian musicians and dancers. Very entertaining. Room was exceptionally clean. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful sunset views. There is a gift shop, but no real convenience store, so if you want snacks the closest store, depending on the day is either a mile or 7 miles away(14 round trip). Long trek on foot or on a bicycle but scenery is beautiful, so not so bad. Staff at the resort and the locals we met were always smiling and helpful, made for a very enjoyable trip.

Incredible location with a friendly, attentive staff. Bungalows are large and well-equipped, some with beach front, others small private pools.
Activities are organized every day so you can mix it up, sun, sand and day trips. We’re having an amazing time!

Beautiful setting amongst groves of palm trees, with good swimming/snorkeling. Beach-front bungalow was great for lounging by the water (loved the hammocks), though wish room was better lit and had AC that worked in both rooms.

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.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel Kia Ora Resort &Spa in Rangiroa and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island. The service was outstanding from start to finish — the staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed.
The on-site restaurant was excellent, offering a great menu with delicious food and a variety of breakfast options that we really enjoyed each morning. The view from the property is absolutely beautiful — perfect for relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings.
Our room was very clean and well maintained. For those who prefer more privacy and quiet, I’d definitely suggest choosing one of the villa with a private pool — they offer a lovely secluded experience while still being close to everything. If you stay in a beach bungalow, be aware that you can hear the ocean waves at night — it’s quite soothing for some, but sometimes can get a bit loud.
Overall, it was a perfect mix of comfort, great food, and genuine hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

Let me preface, I’m not one to rate any stay. We have been around the world and seen many properties in our day. The 5 nights we were there were good. Just good. The staff was friendly but not very accommodating. It happened to be a stay where the hotel appeared to running only 20% full occupancy which was amazing to feel like we had the whole place to ourselves.
The Bad: The property is a bit run down and needs some upgrades. The pillows were shot and lumpy. Ice to the room was not an option and we had to get it from the bar every day. We asked for an umbrella on our deck and was told no.
The Good: The restaurant was one of the most phenomenal and most delicious meals we have tasted ever tasted. Whoever is the chef, hats off to an amazing menu and staff.
The dive center was also amazing and got to try scuba diving for the first time.
Overall, glad we make the trip to this island and happy to experience the property but it’s a one and done.

The most beautiful resort you can imagine. Off the beaten track but well worth the extra flight, with stunning variety of marine life right next to your room (overwater bungalow). Close to world-class scuba-diving spots also. Restaurant and bar were wonderful with highlight being cocktails at sunset and the Polynesian buffet/entertainment evenings. Service was always impeccable.

Kia Ora was nothing short of amazing!! The property is so beautiful, the employees happy & helpful, and the food is beyond delicious. We ate every single meal on site because it was just THAT good. They shuttled us to and from the airport which made things simple and rented us a car for a few hours to explore the motu hassle-free. We 10/10 recommend and will return!

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

The view from our ocean facing room with pool was amazing. The room did not have windows however which made it hot at night but also very loud from the waves crashing during a storm. Even with ear plugs it was loud. Would love to have had some more gluten free food options and the food overall was just ok. Didn’t see abetter hotel option on the island and the diving we were able to do made the trip with the stay.

This is a very remote location, so best if you really like to dive and snorkel. Not many places to go to, or other restaurants. Blue lagoon trip was great on a quiet sea day.
With the leaky wood loovered side windows, there was so much air leakage that we never got cool. AC was underpowered for that.
