Hotel Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora

This is one of the best hotel in the mainland. Worth the price. Restaurants, grocery store and matira beach is just a short walk. The beach bungalow is perfect for our little kids. The concierge/receptionist is very accommodating and hospitable. I forgot to get her name, but it was really sweet of her to give us a bunch of their local banana as we checked out, it was the sweetest banana we ever tasted in this whole trip.

Dining options not so great. There was a gap between the breakfast cut off time at 9:30 and noon until the other restaurant opened up. The breakfast was a buffet. Pretty much the same thing every day. Unless you wanted to order a full-on dinner like steak or fish, the only American type for food in the other restaurant for lunch and dinner was spaghetti, a cheeseburger or pizza. You could not order a simple sandwich. I am not sure how children could eat each meal there with only these choices. I know my grandkids would not be very happy. The kids' choices were the same: spaghetti, cheeseburger or pizza. We did not venture to another property, but I am curious if this was the normal there for food or if it was just this property that was lacking food choices. Other than that, the property was clean, well maintained and the staff was very helpful.
