As other say, the beach if fantastic. It was the best hotel beach we saw in a 6 island swing through French Polynesia and the Cook Islands. The snorkeling is also very good, but it would be better if you brought your own mask. Most of their masks look like they are about 25 years old, and mine was very... More

Like most reviewers, my husband and I stayed at Relais Mahana on our honeymoon. The room that we had was very nice, with new fixtures, and very comfortable furniture. The hotel offers lots of little perks like free snorkeling gear and kayaks. There is also the option to book a nice evening massage at the hotel, which we did, and... More

We stayed here on the last leg of our Island tour around F. Polynesia. Few pointers from our stay here: - Huahine being a less touristic island doesn't quite have taxi presence at the airport. Ensure you tell the hotel about your flight details as they will pick you up (our transfer charges were either included in the room stay... More

This place has the best beach, although lots of sea cucumbers (ick) the snorkelling was really good. Lots of different fish. We had a room in the second row back from the beach but still had a view of the jetty and water. The room was spacious and well laid out. No kitchen but there was a small store up... More

We have stayed at the Relais Mahana for 3 nights in April 2006 as part of our honeymoon in a beach bungalow. The room was basic and clean with a decent sized bed. We ate a few meals at the hotel restaurant but we also took a boat ride over to the Te Tiare resort for dinner, which was very... More

Our bungalow at Relais was very cute. It was spacious enough to accomodate a family of 4. Although it wasn't fancy or new, it was well accomodated and very clean. Our bungalow was on the beach front which provided a wonderful view. The beach is narrow but nice. The coral gardens right off the hotel pier are amazing. It was... More

Staff superb, eager to help and clearly working under difficult conditions. Location good, although make sure you rent a car at airport for 7500 xpf /per day from Fare Maeva to avoid transfers fees and being hostage to the hotels dreadful restaurant food and meal prices. Beach okay for Polynesian standards although narrow but white sand. Bay, sea views from... More

Huahine is one of the least developed islands of French Polynesia, and that’s what we asked our travel agent to find. A place with sun and sand where we could “get away from it all” for a few days. We flew in from Papette, Tahiti, a short and easy hop. But the hotel forgot to send someone to pick us... More

Stayed 3 nights at this resort during our stay in tranquil Huahine. How can you not be extremely happy with the beautiful interiors of the Relais Mahana bungalows? First class! Also, the idyllic beach was everything they say it is... the nicest spot on Huahine. Unfortunately, what keeps this resort from going from good-to-great is the lousy service and food.... More
