Mahina Vacations from $2,234

Nice, small hotel with beautiful pool area. The rooms were large and clean and the second floor balcony was comfortable (though I wish our room had been closer to the beach for a better view- we were looking over the roof of the restaurant). One strange thing is they do not hand out more than one key. We made a big deal out of it, as my husband and I do different activities and we really needed two keys, and they finally gave us a second keyboard. The restaurant has a great view, but the food and service are so so. The snorkeling was surprisingly good. I saw a turtle, loads of fish, and some live coral.

This is a wonderful resort property and highly recommend. Superior staff and accommodations. Only complaint—-the elevator broke and we were stuck inside for about 15 minutes. Other than that, we had a marvelous stay.

In the mornings we put the sign on the door asking for having the room cleaned, and when we returned to the room, they had already cleaned it. The staff were very friendly at all times. On the last day our departure flight was scheduled for midnight so we requested to stay in the room until 6:00pm since we had nowhere else to go until the flight back home. The reception staff and manager were so kind to us, and extended our check out time from 11:00 am to 6:00pm for a fee of $250. That made it so easy for us to spend the whole day at the resort, and be able to have our room available to us until it was time to take a taxi to the airport. It was very helpful to us. The room was spacious and had a beautiful ocean front view. We also loved the adorable cats and a cute little dog at the property. That made us feel at home. We will return and visit again one day. It was a blessing to be there.

Highly recommend this Moorea resort. It has amazing snorkeling in a coral garden at the beach next to the hotel, kayaks and paddle boards, a huge pool, a tasty buffet breakfast, and excellent service at the concierge and reception desk. We also really liked our spacious room in the garden area which had a small private pool.

The resort is very well staffed with genuinely helpful people no matter where you find them. One of the best travel experiences I have had in years.
