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

My husband and I went to the Relais Mahana a few years ago as a couple and loved it. This time, we brought our 20-something daughters with us and stayed in one of the beach bungalows that can accommodate 4 people- a king sized bed and 2 twin beds. The room is right on the water on top of a... More

The hotel has a really nice beach with coral reef just few meters from the shore. Still there was no need for shoes to enter the ocean. The swimming pool is small and in desperate need of renovation, I decided not to use it, as most of the guests actually. Standard bungalows are clean and spacious, with comfortable bed and... More

Huahine, while being a double island with the somewhat larger North part (Nui) connected to the South part (Iti) by a bridge, is still much smaller than the neighboring Raiatea. But it is a charming and very laid-back little gem. Most of the business life - if any – is concentrated on the Northern island including the “capital” Fare. The... More

I would not recommend you to stay there. The people were not too friendly. They were not enthusiastic to answer your questions. We were placed in a superior room which was awful. The room was not pleasant at all...very depressing and dark. We requested to move to deluxe room. The manager Lucy was very abrupt and was not willing to... More

Whilst staying at the awesome Pension Maurii, we walked up the coast one evening to have dinner at the Mahana - the only restaurant we've ever ran screaming from. Imagine a retirement home for geriatric Frenchies sipping fruity cocktails on pink linen-topped plastic garden furniture under Brit-pub fairy lights in a suburban back garden, and you'll have the general vibe....
