French Polynesia Spa Hotel

"Beautiful property."

"La situation géographique de l’hôtel est sûrement la meilleure de l’île. La nourriture demeure un point à améliorer. Cependant, il y a plusieurs restos à proximité. Les chambres sur pilotis sont super quoiqu’un peu désuettes. Dans l’ensemble je recommande."

"Location and beauty of the property is excellent. Food and beverage were way below Hilton standard. Property is in need of updating. Fabulous snorkeling."

"great service and good location"

"Best hotel ever. Everything you hear and read about this hotel, all true. Staff very kind and hospitable, bungalows are picture perfect. Great breakfast. The lagoon sanctuary is the best to relax by the water. Already planning to return, but this time with my kids."

"One of my favorite things about Manava was the authentic Polynesian vibe. Beautiful place, wonderful staff. Loved being able to snorkel off our own deck - did a premium overwater bungalow for 2 days and private soaking pool bungalow for 1 day. It was fun to experience both types of rooms. The beautiful infinity pool was amazing. We just had a wonderful stay and would love to return again!"

"I love this low key hotel. I have been there 3 times and will be back. The front desk is so helpful, the ladys are so nice! It is on the main island so you don't need to pay extra to come off the atolls. It feels like old time tahiti, with shows a couple nights a week. It is great to have the free breakfest right on the ocean."

"We spent a week in St Regis for our honeymoon and we both agreed that this has been the best trip of our lives. We did the overwater deluxe bungalow and it was the most incredible room I have been in. The glass cut outs in the floor and just how big these villas are made it feel like our own private oasis. We got the half board package which included daily breakfast and dinner. One of our favorite meals was at bamboo restaurant where we had the Laksa soup (one of the best I've ever had). I also arranged for the mystery dinner which was by far the best experience of the stay (Shaya was our hostess and she was also amazing). Some negatives are there is a huge aggressive mosquito population and I was eaten alive (however my wife was left alone so it is luck of the draw). Staff was attentive and friendly and greeted you by name which was a great personal touch. "

"Superb bungalow over the water, excellent views - dreamy! "
