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!
