Raiatea Macaranga Ridge Hotels

"This is an absolute haven of tranquility and you don’t expect a lodge like that while driving down the East coast of Raiatea. The garden is stunning and you can read about all the plants. By the small beach is a lily pond and the hillside is a jungle of the most amazing vegetation. I was greeted very warmly and shown around, there is a beautiful communal area with a kitchen that is fully stocked and then you have little spaces in and outside of the fridge for the things you buy for yourself. There are no meals offered, you have to prepare them yourself. "

"Owner was really good to communicate with and the place was very nice. It has a gorgeous view of the ocean and the kayaks added some entertainment to the stay. We would stay there again. It was just me and my wife but there was plenty of rooms for others. Laundry worked great for us.Raiatea is beautiful but eating options are limited Sunday and Monday."

"Due to location, we felt a bit isolated "

"Didn't get directions for two days and when we did, it was in French with numerical coordinates. Place was very hard to find due to lack of street signs.Other than a loose kitchen faucet it was a good place to stay."
