Mahina Holidays from AU$2,300

The property was beautiful, staff very friendly, however the room was not. The refrigerator make very loud sounds during the night that woke me up twice.

Rooms need refreshing

Good location. Staff are extremely nice and helpful. Good values for money. There are different places to eat at walking distance although at night the streets aren’t lit up. I managed to do it with no issue though.

This is a beautiful transit hotel, meaning it is not a destination but a wonderful place to recover from long travel before moving on to the more sedate and glamorous islands of French Polynesia. The pool is as great as any resort I have visited, and I travel a lot. The rooms are huge. The staff is friendly from check in to check out. The connection to the mall via a direct bridge from The Hilton lobby is a huge plus. There is a wonderful French bakery in the mall within a five minute walk from the lobby. There is a grocery store and pharmacy and food court there as well. Also a nice, casual French restaurant. The Hilton’s drink and dining options are varied, but the prices are quite high, as expected, so the mall offers alternatives. We did find the Hilton’s Japanese restaurant to offer extraordinary sushi, albeit in a rather bland setting with staggering costs. You get what you pay for. In summary, I would stay here for a night or two before moving on to other islands or a cruise. The cost from the airport is about $20 US, and to the cruise port about the same. Again, the pool is a healer after extended travel.

The room felt very modern and warm, a few days before our scheduled stay they made reached out via Expedia and informed us of a special dinner event they had and the went the extra mile to make sure we could reserve a table for the night, and absolutely lovely experience
