Hotel le Mahana

We staying in the Lagoon View Bungalow and it was perfect. Loved the shower that opened up into the back garden. Nice view of the lagoon and very convenient to the restaurant. People were wonderful in taking care of everything for you. It was easy to rent a car from the lobby and be picked up for excursions. Having breakfast and dinner included was also very nice. Wonderful memories.

Booking is not a booking… they send you another confirmation that they actually have rooms (very confusing if you’re booking a multi island trip yourself) I never for the email they didn’t have space so had to rebook our whole trip very last minute.

We really enjoyed Le Mahana. We stayed in the lagoon front bungalow which was very spacious and quiet. It is a duplex but there was no one in the other side for our stay. The snorkeling was good and right off the beach. The food was very good but we really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There was a Polynesian show one night. The front desk staff were so kind and helpful. Next time I think we would stay in a beachfront bungalow although they are a little smaller than the lagoon bungalow. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed for a full week at Hotel Le Mahana, and would gladly return. Our first night was in a Semi-detached Lagoonfront bungalow with the remaining nights in #6, a Deluxe Beachfront bungalow. A last minute airline schedule change required us to add on a night, and the beachfront bungalow was not available that night. The semi-detached bungalow was very spacious and had some updated features, specifically the flooring and bathroom area. The deck is huge on these units, but you do have a neighbor sharing a wall. It would be great for a large group wanting to slide open the divider between the two sides on the deck. The beachfront bungalow was a bit smaller, but had plenty of room for the two of us for a week. We stored snacks and drinks in the small refrigerator. Our location was away from the main beach area and very quiet and peaceful. Just a few steps from our deck and down the small embankment to the sand and water. Paradise! #6 has very little afternoon shade, but is otherwise in an ideal location for privacy and quiet. The indoor/outdoor shower is a little quirky, but the clothesline in the small enclosure behind the shower came in very handy. The restaurant menu had plenty of variety to keep us from getting bored over the 7 days, and everything we tried was delicious and well prepared. The desserts are incredible! Breakfast got a bit monotonous and could offer more variety, especially in the fresh fruit offerings. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance if you choose to venture out. We really enjoyed the Tahitian dance/music group that performed on Thursday evening. Snorkeling in front of the hotel is not bad at all with a lot of corals especially on the north side of the dock. There are plenty of kayaks and SUP for guests to use as well as snorkeling equipment (no need to take up luggage space with bulky fins!). The catamaran for our final four nights of the trip picked us up right at Le Mahana's dock which was a nice bonus. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and very responsive to any requests. The Europcar desk right in the lobby was very handy as we did a couple of half-day rentals while we were there. Hotel Le Mahana was our favorite location of the places we've stayed in the Society Islands. I can see why people return again and again!

They were very kind and helped us with everything, the place was wonderful and quiet. Our bungalow was very clean and nice, just in front of a fantastic beach. We could see many fish right there, the food at the restaurant was very good... We would recommend everyone visiting the island (Huahine) to stay there without quastion.

The staff was fully engaging, friendly and helpful. The drive from the airport to the property most enjoyable with our driver and with the scenery. The views and walks along the beach are fantastic. Very much enjoyed the dining experience near or on the beach. Our resort bungalow was fully and wonderfully appointed with beach views. We also much appreciated the local masseuse and his professionalism on the front deck of our bungalow. Highly recommend!

The property is located in the most beautiful beach in Huahine,with plenty of kayak and paddle board to use. The restaurant is delicious,fresh seafood and excellent service. All bungalows have beach view It’s my favorite hotel in French Polinesia.

La Mahana is a magnificent resort in a unparalleled location! The restaurant and bar are terrific. The hotel is located on beautiful and remote Avea Bay. Great beach and snorkeling right off the dock and Huahine is a beautiful island. We loved every minute!!!
