What guests think
Hotel Le Mahana draws consistent praise for its idyllic beachside setting with clear, calm water, easy snorkeling, and complimentary kayaks and paddleboards, plus comfortable bungalows that feel private and relaxed.
Guests frequently commend the friendly, helpful staff, convenient airport or ferry transfers, and the ability to arrange tours and car or scooter rentals. Food at the on-site restaurant is widely appreciated, with beachfront breakfasts and fresh local dishes, though a few note limited menu variety, slower service at times, and occasional language barriers. Common drawbacks include a remote location that makes a car useful and spotty Wi-Fi, especially in rooms. Expect a quiet, low-key stay centered on the lagoon.

It is a wonderful place. Safe beautiful and all workers are kind and helpful. It is on the best beach of the all island full of coral and fishes. They have free kayaks and paddle boarding and the restaurant is one of the best of French Polinesia.

Very quiet beautiful location. Staff made us welcome as soon as we arrived. Pick up at ferry was right on time with a comfortable ride. Staff was very helpful with anything we needed. Rental car/scooter right on site and island was very easy to get around. Terrible wifi connection is probably the only thing that could be improved. Free us of kayaks, snorkel gear and paddle boards was great. Would definitely recommend.

Very friendly welcome and nice rooms let you start your stay here in the best way Having breakfast on the beach in front of a coral garden helps too You can spend here a week without moving thanks to the good restaurant and the close by options for lunch or dinner and the coral garden great for snorkeling But, it is highly recommended to rent a car and tour the small but beautiful island of Huahine by your own And a boat tour or two are also recommended ( you can easily book them at the reception) The cocktails are also pretty good but to have a feeling of the island, you must go dine out time to time and visit the two or three extraordinary and quiet beaches

A very quiet and relaxing place to spend a few days savoring the Tahitian pace of life. Bora Bora offers more hectic fun but come here to relax. Excellent food covering Tahitian fish dishes and European and American choices. Big breakfast buffet as well. Our beach bungalow was well appointed, roomy, and comfortable, in a tropical way. We have enjoyed ourselves fully on two other stays. The beach is just steps away and the snorkeling among colorful fishes is just beside the dock. No need to pay extra for that! Kayaks and canoes available too. Staff are very charming and friendly, even more than most other places we have stayed in Tahiti. Staff all dress in colorful outfits that seem to recall a kind of formal elegance that may have been the style of an older era. The location is a half hour drive away from the airport at the south tip of the smaller of 2 islands. They provide a shuttle service, very good. Cars and motorbikes can be rented at Mahana. We just stayed at the resort and chilled out. You can walk about on the road but not much to see nearby. The island is mostly agricultural and not developed. We took a sightseeing tour of about two hours on a previous trip. Shopping in Fare the only real town was interesting as an intro to ordinary life in Tahiti. You can find splashier accommodations on some other islands but Mahana delivers restrained elegance.

Located on a nice beach at the bottom of the small Huahine island. My bungalow had mini fridge, hot water kettle, private bathroom, quiet AC that kept the bungalow cool. Everyday is hot and humid Also, coffee and tea packets with sugar and cream packets are refilled daily. Room is cleaned daily. Very nice staff. Also, has a 20 x 40 foot fresh water pool. Also, has a restaurant. Eurocar rental is located on the property it rents cars and scooters. It's a secluded area so you need to rent a car or scooter to see Huahine. The main town of Fare is around a 30 minute drive. Paddle boards and kayaks are free to use.

Pickup at airport was very professional with signs and uniformed driver who gave us a commentary on the sights en route to hotel, a 30 minute drive. Huahine is very lush, a true garden island, very nice reception and pretty walk to our bungalow, right on the beach. The view is worth the price, but garden bungalows are only a few yards back so if price matters a lot you are only missing the view and beach access is just a few steps further. Our room is well appointed with AC, coffee/tea setup, and a lovely bathroom with a shower that opens to a private garden on the backside. King bed and a separate single that doubles as a sofa by day. Outside deck chairs and table for surf watching all day or between swims. The property is relatively compact with about 15 ft between bungalows but we have had no noisy neighbors- just can’t skinny dip. Beach is lovely and adequate but not very long. Lots of shade trees, more than other islands we have visited and much appreciated at midday. As well Huahine is a few degrees cooler than the last island we left yesterday. Snorkeling by the dock is as good as some places that tour boats charge money for. All in all a quiet laid back place to relax and embrace the tropical pace of life. Canoes and paddle boards available for greater exertion but this is not a party place like Bora Bora. Great variety on the menu but we are not foodies so no advice there. this is our third stay at Le Mahana in as many trips to Tahiti,always a joy.

The property is one of two hotels open in the island. It has a wonderful sand beach and very good snorkeling from the beach. Our first room we checked into was not renovated and the air conditioning didn’t work. We also had red ants. Called for maintenance and they came immediately. They told the front desk to move us to the room next door. It was a fully renovated room and it was excellent. I am not sure why we didn’t get that room in the first place. But in the end it worked out. Food was good at the restaurant. Limited dining options on the island. Took and island tour with snorkeling the front desk arranged for us. It was an excellent tour. Overall we had a lovely stay and the hotel was excellent.

Séjour absolument incroyable à l’hôtel Le Mahana à Huahine ! Le cadre est tout simplement paradisiaque : lagon turquoise, plage magnifique, ambiance paisible… un vrai petit coin de paradis. Les bungalows sont confortables et parfaitement intégrés dans la nature, on s’y sent immédiatement bien. L’aquarium naturel juste à côté de l’hôtel est exceptionnel 🐠✨ On peut nager avec des poissons multicolores dans une eau cristalline, c’est magique. Les kayaks mis à disposition sont également un vrai plus pour profiter du lagon en toute liberté. Nous avons fait la sortie combinée terre & mer avec Huahine Nautique et c’était top ! Encore plus agréable en étant clients de l’hôtel, car on bénéficie d’un vrai privilège : on est déposés directement au ponton du Mahana au retour. Un confort incroyable qui rend l’expérience encore plus spéciale. La restauration est très bonne, avec des produits frais et une vue splendide sur le lagon. Chaque repas est un vrai moment de plaisir. Enfin, le personnel est adorable, souriant et attentionné. On se sent accueillis avec chaleur et authenticité. Un endroit paisible, authentique et ressourçant que nous recommandons les yeux fermés. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs magnifiques… et l’envie de revenir très vite 🌺✨ Mauruuru !

This hotel is a nice place to stay in Huahine. It is far from the airport, but they offer a shuttle service for an additional charge. Once there, though, you have everything you need. Beautiful beach with free kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Really good food at the on-site restaurant, with a charming restaurant just next door. And comfortable rooms with a nice outdoor sitting area to watch the sunset. Also, if you like massages, the one we booked through the hotel was excellent. The only negative thing I can say is that service is a bit iffy. They didn't respond to numerous messages sent through Hotels.com. We waited over an hour for our dessert in the hotel restaurant one night. And the check-in process was uncomfortable. We shared the airport shuttle with another couple who we didn't know. The front desk person tried to sit us down and check us in together, at the same time, which entailed discussing personal details like activities booked, etc. It seemed really inappropriate, so I asked to step over to a more private area. It seems strange that they didn't suggest themselves. Personal financial details shouldn't be discussed in front of strangers.

C'est un hôtel très confortable, propre et très bien entretenu. Le personnel est très sympathique. Le restaurant donnant sur la plage, les pieds dans le sable offre de très bons plats, bien cuisinés. Il se trouve face à une très belle plage avec d'un coté des récifs coralliens où on peut voir des poissons de toutes les couleurs.

Le mahana est un lieu magique ! Très bien entretenu. Vous avez à disposition kayaks, paddle, transats. Un accueil attentionné, souriant et chaleureux tant à la réception qu’au service de nettoyage ! Un logement propre, tres fonctionnel, spacieux. À noter toutefois que le lit d’appoint n’est pas confortable. Ce logement n’est pas adapté au télétravail, pas de wifi dans les chambres et un wifi très faible à la réception. Je ne peux que recommander le mahana !

A Hidden Gem with Outstanding Hospitality! I had the pleasure of staying at Hotel La Mahana recently, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel is nestled in a serene location, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation. The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and taken care of. From the warm greeting at check-in to the thoughtful recommendations for local activities and dining, they were attentive and genuinely invested in making the stay enjoyable. The on-site restaurant was also a highlight, serving delicious meals with fresh, local ingredients. Whether it was breakfast by the pool or a romantic dinner under the stars, the dining experience added to the overall charm of the hotel. If you’re looking for a tranquil getaway with top-notch service, Hotel La Mahana is a fantastic choice. I can’t wait to return!

We just spent three days at the Mahana. We loved our deluxe bungalow with lagoon view. The hotel was super quiet and clean. The beach in front of the hotel is spectacular. The service can be a little slow at the restaurant and the choice (for lunch and dinner especially) is limited but we thought everything was good. We did not see a lot of hotels in Huahine and the Mahana is probably the best one. The location, on the beach, is great but the hotel is far from everything and you will need a car.

La Mahana in Huahine was a fantastic stay. The bungalows are spacious, quiet, clean, and offer amazing ocean views. The restaurant serves a great variety of food, including local Tahitian dishes, fresh fish, and French cuisine. The fish burger with lagoon fish and the poisson cru were highlights. Wine is reasonably priced compared to other hotels. The beach is breathtaking—clear, calm blue water, perfect for swimming, and surrounded by coconut trees. It’s the best beach on the island, with vibrant coral reefs filled with fish, stingrays, and turtles. The hotel is quiet and ideal for relaxation, with the environment kept clean and well-maintained. The staff were exceptional, especially the reception team. They helped me rent a car and organized a special beachfront dinner for my family, making the experience truly memorable. The entire team, from housekeeping to restaurant staff, was attentive and friendly. A suggestion for the hotel would be to offer more options on Expedia, such as the ability to book half-board or breakfast-inclusive stays. This would provide guests with even more convenience and enhance the overall experience. Overall, La Mahana is a perfect destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and beautiful escape in Huahine.

Les logements sont très agréables avec la particularité de la douche en semi-exterieur qui ajoute de l'exotisme. Le site est très beau, la plage immédiatement accessible et le personnel est vraiment sympathique et professionnel, à l'accueil comme en restauration. C'est le seul hôtel qui nous a offert notre collier de coquillages à notre départ.

Very quiet beautiful location. Staff made us welcome as soon as we arrived. Pick up at ferry was right on time with a comfortable ride. Staff was very helpful with anything we needed. Rental car/scooter right on site and island was very easy to get around. Terrible wifi connection is probably the only thing that could be improved. Free us of kayaks, snorkel gear and paddle boards was great. Would definitely recommend.

This was a gorgeous location, very relaxing, beautiful sunsets. The air conditioning in the rooms was perfect, which we needed during the week we were there.

Très bon accueil : nous avons demandé à changer de chambre car trop bruyante et avons été déplacés sans souci. Chambre agréable très bien décorée pour 3. Pas plus de personnes car taille moyenne ! Lagon devant la chambre superbe avec fonds marins sublimes. Prêts de masques tubas kayak et paddles. Restaurant très bon et prix raisonnables. Prendre véhicule pour visiter (europcar sur place mais cher - préférez les prendre a l’aéroport)

Le mahana est un lieu magique ! Très bien entretenu. Vous avez à disposition kayaks, paddle, transats. Un accueil attentionné, souriant et chaleureux tant à la réception qu’au service de nettoyage ! Un logement propre, tres fonctionnel, spacieux. À noter toutefois que le lit d’appoint n’est pas confortable. Ce logement n’est pas adapté au télétravail, pas de wifi dans les chambres et un wifi très faible à la réception. Je ne peux que recommander le mahana !

A very quiet and relaxing place to spend a few days savoring the Tahitian pace of life. Bora Bora offers more hectic fun but come here to relax. Excellent food covering Tahitian fish dishes and European and American choices. Big breakfast buffet as well. Our beach bungalow was well appointed, roomy, and comfortable, in a tropical way. We have enjoyed ourselves fully on two other stays. The beach is just steps away and the snorkeling among colorful fishes is just beside the dock. No need to pay extra for that! Kayaks and canoes available too. Staff are very charming and friendly, even more than most other places we have stayed in Tahiti. Staff all dress in colorful outfits that seem to recall a kind of formal elegance that may have been the style of an older era. The location is a half hour drive away from the airport at the south tip of the smaller of 2 islands. They provide a shuttle service, very good. Cars and motorbikes can be rented at Mahana. We just stayed at the resort and chilled out. You can walk about on the road but not much to see nearby. The island is mostly agricultural and not developed. We took a sightseeing tour of about two hours on a previous trip. Shopping in Fare the only real town was interesting as an intro to ordinary life in Tahiti. You can find splashier accommodations on some other islands but Mahana delivers restrained elegance.

Located on a nice beach at the bottom of the small Huahine island. My bungalow had mini fridge, hot water kettle, private bathroom, quiet AC that kept the bungalow cool. Everyday is hot and humid Also, coffee and tea packets with sugar and cream packets are refilled daily. Room is cleaned daily. Very nice staff. Also, has a 20 x 40 foot fresh water pool. Also, has a restaurant. Eurocar rental is located on the property it rents cars and scooters. It's a secluded area so you need to rent a car or scooter to see Huahine. The main town of Fare is around a 30 minute drive. Paddle boards and kayaks are free to use.

Pickup at airport was very professional with signs and uniformed driver who gave us a commentary on the sights en route to hotel, a 30 minute drive. Huahine is very lush, a true garden island, very nice reception and pretty walk to our bungalow, right on the beach. The view is worth the price, but garden bungalows are only a few yards back so if price matters a lot you are only missing the view and beach access is just a few steps further. Our room is well appointed with AC, coffee/tea setup, and a lovely bathroom with a shower that opens to a private garden on the backside. King bed and a separate single that doubles as a sofa by day. Outside deck chairs and table for surf watching all day or between swims. The property is relatively compact with about 15 ft between bungalows but we have had no noisy neighbors- just can’t skinny dip. Beach is lovely and adequate but not very long. Lots of shade trees, more than other islands we have visited and much appreciated at midday. As well Huahine is a few degrees cooler than the last island we left yesterday. Snorkeling by the dock is as good as some places that tour boats charge money for. All in all a quiet laid back place to relax and embrace the tropical pace of life. Canoes and paddle boards available for greater exertion but this is not a party place like Bora Bora. Great variety on the menu but we are not foodies so no advice there. this is our third stay at Le Mahana in as many trips to Tahiti,always a joy.

The property is one of two hotels open in the island. It has a wonderful sand beach and very good snorkeling from the beach. Our first room we checked into was not renovated and the air conditioning didn’t work. We also had red ants. Called for maintenance and they came immediately. They told the front desk to move us to the room next door. It was a fully renovated room and it was excellent. I am not sure why we didn’t get that room in the first place. But in the end it worked out. Food was good at the restaurant. Limited dining options on the island. Took and island tour with snorkeling the front desk arranged for us. It was an excellent tour. Overall we had a lovely stay and the hotel was excellent.

La Mahana in Huahine was a fantastic stay. The bungalows are spacious, quiet, clean, and offer amazing ocean views. The restaurant serves a great variety of food, including local Tahitian dishes, fresh fish, and French cuisine. The fish burger with lagoon fish and the poisson cru were highlights. Wine is reasonably priced compared to other hotels. The beach is breathtaking—clear, calm blue water, perfect for swimming, and surrounded by coconut trees. It’s the best beach on the island, with vibrant coral reefs filled with fish, stingrays, and turtles. The hotel is quiet and ideal for relaxation, with the environment kept clean and well-maintained. The staff were exceptional, especially the reception team. They helped me rent a car and organized a special beachfront dinner for my family, making the experience truly memorable. The entire team, from housekeeping to restaurant staff, was attentive and friendly. A suggestion for the hotel would be to offer more options on Expedia, such as the ability to book half-board or breakfast-inclusive stays. This would provide guests with even more convenience and enhance the overall experience. Overall, La Mahana is a perfect destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and beautiful escape in Huahine.

We enjoyed our stay in a lagoon hut. The people at the resort were very nice and welcoming. The hotel was accommodating and arranged for our pick up at the ferry upon arrival which we greatly appreciated. We rented a car right at the resort and toured the island. The onsite restaurant was handy and yummy. We had lots of rain while there but the restaurant had little huts to provide shelter from the rain. We would be happy to return! Next time I’d go for the oceanfront bungalow. Our lagoon bungalow had a partial ocean view which was nice and it had an indoor outdoor shower with a clothesline for drying your clothes… which would have been great except for our rain. But that was the weather and not the hotels fault. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Very friendly welcome and nice rooms let you start your stay here in the best way Having breakfast on the beach in front of a coral garden helps too You can spend here a week without moving thanks to the good restaurant and the close by options for lunch or dinner and the coral garden great for snorkeling But, it is highly recommended to rent a car and tour the small but beautiful island of Huahine by your own And a boat tour or two are also recommended ( you can easily book them at the reception) The cocktails are also pretty good but to have a feeling of the island, you must go dine out time to time and visit the two or three extraordinary and quiet beaches

The beachfront bungalow my daughter and I stayed in was perfect for us. The water is perfect and everything you need is here. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff are very helpful if you need anything. The food was fantastic-we ate most of our meals here. We had a perfect vacation here and would highly recommend Hotel Le Mahana to couples or families.

Séjour absolument incroyable à l’hôtel Le Mahana à Huahine ! Le cadre est tout simplement paradisiaque : lagon turquoise, plage magnifique, ambiance paisible… un vrai petit coin de paradis. Les bungalows sont confortables et parfaitement intégrés dans la nature, on s’y sent immédiatement bien. L’aquarium naturel juste à côté de l’hôtel est exceptionnel 🐠✨ On peut nager avec des poissons multicolores dans une eau cristalline, c’est magique. Les kayaks mis à disposition sont également un vrai plus pour profiter du lagon en toute liberté. Nous avons fait la sortie combinée terre & mer avec Huahine Nautique et c’était top ! Encore plus agréable en étant clients de l’hôtel, car on bénéficie d’un vrai privilège : on est déposés directement au ponton du Mahana au retour. Un confort incroyable qui rend l’expérience encore plus spéciale. La restauration est très bonne, avec des produits frais et une vue splendide sur le lagon. Chaque repas est un vrai moment de plaisir. Enfin, le personnel est adorable, souriant et attentionné. On se sent accueillis avec chaleur et authenticité. Un endroit paisible, authentique et ressourçant que nous recommandons les yeux fermés. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs magnifiques… et l’envie de revenir très vite 🌺✨ Mauruuru !

This hotel is a nice place to stay in Huahine. It is far from the airport, but they offer a shuttle service for an additional charge. Once there, though, you have everything you need. Beautiful beach with free kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Really good food at the on-site restaurant, with a charming restaurant just next door. And comfortable rooms with a nice outdoor sitting area to watch the sunset. Also, if you like massages, the one we booked through the hotel was excellent. The only negative thing I can say is that service is a bit iffy. They didn't respond to numerous messages sent through Hotels.com. We waited over an hour for our dessert in the hotel restaurant one night. And the check-in process was uncomfortable. We shared the airport shuttle with another couple who we didn't know.

Location
Scenic, quiet beachfront setting well suited to relaxation and easy lagoon access. It is remote with little nearby; a car or scooter is useful, and transfers from the airport or ferry take about 30 minutes.

Notre bungalow était en premier rang sur la plus jolie plage de Huahine avec une douche ouverte sur la nature et une terrasse privative sur l’impressionnant arbre emblématique de l’hôtel, très appréciable ! Le petit déjeuner est complet avec une belle vue mer. Le dîner est semi gastronomique. L’île de Huahine est très paisible et authentique.

Pure tranquility! We booked a beachfront room, so had our toes in the sand as soon as we woke up. Loved the swimming, snorkeling, kayaking. Staff were lovely. We could have gotten by without a car, but had one for convenience.

Ja das Hotel bzw. Bungalow Anlage ist sehr schön Leider ist es ein französisches Kindergartenhotel mit all den Krawall den Kleinkinder erzeugen. Die Lage am Strand ist zum baden und schnorcheln gut geeignet,leider ist das Hotel sehr sehr abgelegen,sodass man einen fahrbaren Untersatz benötigt-Avis gibt es im Hotel. Es gibt keinen vernünftigen Supermarkt in der Nähe auch kein Restaurant oder Imbiss was man empfehlen könnte.Daher ist man gezwungen alles im Hotel zu machen,d.h. Frühstück,Mittag, Abendessen.Auf Grund dieser exclusiven Bedingungen sind leider die Mitarbeiter im Restaurant nicht sonderlich motiviert - es ist eher eine nüchterne Freundlichkeit nicht das was man von Polynesien gewohnt ist. Spazieren am Strand ist max.100m,zu Fuss geht hier eigentlich gar nichts.

Great location. Can snorkel directly from the incredible beach. Only negative is the food. Primarily all French with little to no American food. In fact we were the only Americans staying at the hotel. Language challenge was a bit of a problem in the dining room. Overall it was a very good experience.

A very quiet and relaxing place to spend a few days savoring the Tahitian pace of life. Bora Bora offers more hectic fun but come here to relax. Excellent food covering Tahitian fish dishes and European and American choices. Big breakfast buffet as well. Our beach bungalow was well appointed, roomy, and comfortable, in a tropical way. We have enjoyed ourselves fully on two other stays. The beach is just steps away and the snorkeling among colorful fishes is just beside the dock. No need to pay extra for that! Kayaks and canoes available too. Staff are very charming and friendly, even more than most other places we have stayed in Tahiti. Staff all dress in colorful outfits that seem to recall a kind of formal elegance that may have been the style of an older era. The location is a half hour drive away from the airport at the south tip of the smaller of 2 islands. They provide a shuttle service, very good. Cars and motorbikes can be rented at Mahana. We just stayed at the resort and chilled out. You can walk about on the road but not much to see nearby. The island is mostly agricultural and not developed. We took a sightseeing tour of about two hours on a previous trip. Shopping in Fare the only real town was interesting as an intro to ordinary life in Tahiti. You can find splashier accommodations on some other islands but Mahana delivers restrained elegance.

Located on a nice beach at the bottom of the small Huahine island. My bungalow had mini fridge, hot water kettle, private bathroom, quiet AC that kept the bungalow cool. Everyday is hot and humid Also, coffee and tea packets with sugar and cream packets are refilled daily. Room is cleaned daily. Very nice staff. Also, has a 20 x 40 foot fresh water pool. Also, has a restaurant. Eurocar rental is located on the property it rents cars and scooters. It's a secluded area so you need to rent a car or scooter to see Huahine. The main town of Fare is around a 30 minute drive. Paddle boards and kayaks are free to use.

Pickup at airport was very professional with signs and uniformed driver who gave us a commentary on the sights en route to hotel, a 30 minute drive. Huahine is very lush, a true garden island, very nice reception and pretty walk to our bungalow, right on the beach. The view is worth the price, but garden bungalows are only a few yards back so if price matters a lot you are only missing the view and beach access is just a few steps further. Our room is well appointed with AC, coffee/tea setup, and a lovely bathroom with a shower that opens to a private garden on the backside. King bed and a separate single that doubles as a sofa by day. Outside deck chairs and table for surf watching all day or between swims. The property is relatively compact with about 15 ft between bungalows but we have had no noisy neighbors- just can’t skinny dip. Beach is lovely and adequate but not very long. Lots of shade trees, more than other islands we have visited and much appreciated at midday. As well Huahine is a few degrees cooler than the last island we left yesterday. Snorkeling by the dock is as good as some places that tour boats charge money for. All in all a quiet laid back place to relax and embrace the tropical pace of life. Canoes and paddle boards available for greater exertion but this is not a party place like Bora Bora. Great variety on the menu but we are not foodies so no advice there. this is our third stay at Le Mahana in as many trips to Tahiti,always a joy.

We just spent three days at the Mahana. We loved our deluxe bungalow with lagoon view. The hotel was super quiet and clean. The beach in front of the hotel is spectacular. The service can be a little slow at the restaurant and the choice (for lunch and dinner especially) is limited but we thought everything was good. We did not see a lot of hotels in Huahine and the Mahana is probably the best one. The location, on the beach, is great but the hotel is far from everything and you will need a car.

Beautiful beach with free kayaks, paddleboards, etc. Really good food at the on-site restaurant, with a charming restaurant just next door. And comfortable rooms with a nice outdoor sitting area to watch the sunset. Also, if you like massages, the one we booked through the hotel was excellent. The only negative thing I can say is that service is a bit iffy. They didn't respond to numerous messages sent through Hotels.com. We waited over an hour for our dessert in the hotel restaurant one night. And the check-in process was uncomfortable. We shared the airport shuttle with another couple who we didn't know. The front desk person tried to sit us down and check us in together, at the same time, which entailed discussing personal details like activities booked, etc. It seemed really inappropriate, so I asked to step over to a more private area. It seems strange that they didn't suggest themselves. Personal financial details shouldn't be discussed in front of strangers.

Dining
The on-site restaurant earns strong feedback for tasty meals, fresh fish, and enjoyable beachfront breakfasts. A few guests noted limited menu variety, slower service at peak times, and that the cuisine skews French with occasional language barriers.

Very friendly welcome and nice rooms let you start your stay here in the best way Having breakfast on the beach in front of a coral garden helps too You can spend here a week without moving thanks to the good restaurant and the close by options for lunch or dinner and the coral garden great for snorkeling But, it is highly recommended to rent a car and tour the small but beautiful island of Huahine by your own And a boat tour or two are also recommended ( you can easily book them at the reception) The cocktails are also pretty good but to have a feeling of the island, you must go dine out time to time and visit the two or three extraordinary and quiet beaches

The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff are very helpful if you need anything. The food was fantastic-we ate most of our meals here.

La Mahana in Huahine was a fantastic stay. The bungalows are spacious, quiet, clean, and offer amazing ocean views. The restaurant serves a great variety of food, including local Tahitian dishes, fresh fish, and French cuisine. The fish burger with lagoon fish and the poisson cru were highlights. Wine is reasonably priced compared to other hotels. The beach is breathtaking—clear, calm blue water, perfect for swimming, and surrounded by coconut trees. It’s the best beach on the island, with vibrant coral reefs filled with fish, stingrays, and turtles. The hotel is quiet and ideal for relaxation, with the environment kept clean and well-maintained. The staff were exceptional, especially the reception team. They helped me rent a car and organized a special beachfront dinner for my family, making the experience truly memorable. The entire team, from housekeeping to restaurant staff, was attentive and friendly. A suggestion for the hotel would be to offer more options on Expedia, such as the ability to book half-board or breakfast-inclusive stays. This would provide guests with even more convenience and enhance the overall experience. Overall, La Mahana is a perfect destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and beautiful escape in Huahine.

Séjour absolument incroyable à l’hôtel Le Mahana à Huahine ! Le cadre est tout simplement paradisiaque : lagon turquoise, plage magnifique, ambiance paisible… un vrai petit coin de paradis. Les bungalows sont confortables et parfaitement intégrés dans la nature, on s’y sent immédiatement bien. L’aquarium naturel juste à côté de l’hôtel est exceptionnel 🐠✨ On peut nager avec des poissons multicolores dans une eau cristalline, c’est magique. Les kayaks mis à disposition sont également un vrai plus pour profiter du lagon en toute liberté. Nous avons fait la sortie combinée terre & mer avec Huahine Nautique et c’était top ! Encore plus agréable en étant clients de l’hôtel, car on bénéficie d’un vrai privilège : on est déposés directement au ponton du Mahana au retour. Un confort incroyable qui rend l’expérience encore plus spéciale. La restauration est très bonne, avec des produits frais et une vue splendide sur le lagon. Chaque repas est un vrai moment de plaisir. Enfin, le personnel est adorable, souriant et attentionné. On se sent accueillis avec chaleur et authenticité. Un endroit paisible, authentique et ressourçant que nous recommandons les yeux fermés. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs magnifiques… et l’envie de revenir très vite 🌺✨ Mauruuru !

Very quiet beautiful location. Staff made us welcome as soon as we arrived. Pick up at ferry was right on time with a comfortable ride. Staff was very helpful with anything we needed. Rental car/scooter right on site and island was very easy to get around. Terrible wifi connection is probably the only thing that could be improved. Free us of kayaks, snorkel gear and paddle boards was great. Would definitely recommend.

The property is one of two hotels open in the island. It has a wonderful sand beach and very good snorkeling from the beach. Our first room we checked into was not renovated and the air conditioning didn’t work. We also had red ants. Called for maintenance and they came immediately. They told the front desk to move us to the room next door. It was a fully renovated room and it was excellent. I am not sure why we didn’t get that room in the first place. But in the end it worked out. Food was good at the restaurant. Limited dining options on the island. Took and island tour with snorkeling the front desk arranged for us. It was an excellent tour. Overall we had a lovely stay and the hotel was excellent.
The property is one of two hotels open in the island. It has a wonderful sand beach and very good snorkeling from the beach. Our first room we checked into was not renovated and the air conditioning didn’t work. We also had red ants. Called for maintenance and they came immediately. They told the front desk to move us to the room next door. It was a fully renovated room and it was excellent. I am not sure why we didn’t get that room in the first place. But in the end it worked out. Food was good at the restaurant. Limited dining options on the island. Took and island tour with snorkeling the front desk arranged for us. It was an excellent tour.
