PERMANENTLY CLOSED AS OF MARCH, 2015

Offering what appear to be the cheapest overwater bungalows in the South Pacific, the Raiatea Hawaiki Nui Hotel is an old-timer on an island that gets few visitors outside of the occasional cruise ship stop. The 9 overwater bungalows lack air conditioning, so this might not even be considered a 3-star hotel.

For someone who dreams of staying in an overwater bungalow and is on the tightest of budgets, this hotel might work well enough. But for anyone else, there are many better choices in the area.

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY

In an extremely rare situation for an overwater-bungalow resort, the Raiatea Hawaiki Nui Hotel gets mostly negative reviews, with many or most recommending people don’t book there in the future. The rooms are called old and poorly maintained, including the overwater bungalows, and the rest of the facilities are similar.

 

The food does get some good mentions, and the setting itself doesn’t seem to be faulted. This is the cheapest overwater bungalow resort in the South Pacific, and even if you don’t mind not having air conditioning, it’s hard to say that it’s worthwhile for anyone, at least until they renovate the place.
