Hotel Kia Ora Resort & Spa

It is the best property in rangiroa. To be fair rangiroa is a bit limited due to extreme insularity and supply constraints. Activities you can book from the restaurant pretty nice and I would even say excellent. Due to issues with our tool we got upgraded to villa and that was excellent.

This review was written before their renovation in November 2026. Current facilities are tired with exception of the villas. The villas are just amazing. Rooms a bit older and with issues. Spa okay. Restaurant okay.

Villa with the pool was lovely and private while still close to the beach front. The food was excellent, especially the dinners. The chef is top notch. Local scuba diving is wonderful, lots other see.

Quite AC unit. You definitely need it even in April but it's loud which can be difficult to sleep through especially if you don't like wearing ear plugs.

The resort is very beautiful and the view is breathtaking. It’s a great place, especially for diving, as you are picked up and dropped off directly at the pier of the resort. The restaurant was always good and the staff were very friendly and very attentive, that really stood out to me!

The furnishings are a bit older, but considering the remote island location, the comfort is still high. (We had two cockroaches in the bungalow, as well as a dead gecko and a few mosquitoes and spiders, which is to be expected on an island)

Location is beautiful, great sunset views, right on the lagoon

Staff was not very friendly with the exception of a few, information given in the room was inaccurate twice (first night got message that my checkout was at 11 when i was leaving 3 days later, etc…), bungalows don’t have anti mosquitoes nets around the bed yet are open via the roof, quite outdated bungalows with older decoration and style, bad smell in the bathroom, very expensive for what it really is which is a good 3 stars or a low 4 stars. I’d avise to pick a good pension instead
