Stayed for six nights at Villas Bougainville in October 2012. Choosing which islands to visit in French Polynesia apart from Tahiti, is not easy if one doesn’t have previous knowledge. Bora Bora immediately comes to mind, but having read David Stanley’s excellent guide to the South Pacific, we chose Huahine as being more laid back, and not burdened with too... More

Ive stayed there and there were thing I absolutely dont like. First at all i had to pay 175eur as a cation via transfer, which is kind of expensive and cost me around 35eur with the fees - and I mean he has a credit card reader for his business. But that was all ok to me. At the checkout... More

The property and surrounding gardens were fascinating -- land crabs and multiple fruit trees -- and access to the water and... More

It is not on a swimmable beach but the water is right across the street (tiny street0, with a wonderful dock. The car and the boat make this an incredible bargain if you add up the cost of... More

Please see my additional discussion under the forums. The villas was nice, the owner very friendly, and they included the car and boat. I would stay here again but highly recommend the villas with air conditioning. Our room did not come with air conditioning and had no screens so it filled with bugs/mosquitos. Huahine Vacances offers the same deal and... More
