The Hotels:
The best hotel in Huahine is the Te Tiare, a 5 star resort accessible from the lagoon only. Offers spacious over water and beach bungalows, and an over water restaurant/bar. Excellent reviews.

The Relais Mahana is a simpler small resort/hotel on a very nice beach, with fair accommodation and a good restaurant.

Huahine is one of our favorite island and well worth the visit if you are looking for beauty and a little more seclusion. There are some wonderful excursions as well.
