Reviews of Le spot

excellent bungalow with all facilitues

require a car travel

We had a wonderful stay here! We were lucky enough to be there at the same time as the owners, who were undertaking renovations, and they treated us like family. The unit was rustic, but perfectly comfortable - the one we were staying in will be the owners house now that renovations are completed, I believe, and the new units look much nicer. We spent some wonderful mornings and evenings sitting at the front shelter, beachcombing on the beach, and watching the waves break on the reef with coffee or beers. Sunsets here were fabulous. It's only a couple of km walk or a quick bike ride/drive into town for everything you need, the supermarket there is very well stocked, and there are good swimming beaches close by. Merci beaucoup, Frank and Juliette - we loved Huahine and had the best time :-)

It's possible to swim off the beach here. but it's not the best - there is good swimming close by, however, and the beach is very walkable if you prefer to stroll in the sand.

You can hear the waves from the white sand beach located one property in front of the place (shared grass area where you can access the beach probably 25 metres away). There are bicycles in the garage, cooking facilities, a shaded outside dining area, air conditioning in the lounge, TV, internet, recycling bin, a laminated map of the island that points out key places to visit) and it is reasonably close to the main centre of Huahine. We did a tour of the island in a day but apparently missed the best beach (near the Post Office). There is a supermarket - Super U close to the Boat Club that closes at 7pm. In the mornings (5am-11am-ish) there are the local markets (great for picking up fresh fruit and vegetables and local baking). We swam off the dock there and it was gorgeous (it is between the Boat Club and Super U) and out in the distance you see the outline of Huahine (the contour of a wahine/woman). There is even a woven archway where you can take scenic photos from that place. There is a pingpong table outside that was a hit with the kids. I was able to organise a car through the hosts and was picked up/dropped off at the airport. There were some basic seasoning on the counter eg salt. There are a couple of banks - Bank of Tahiti and Socredo where you can take out money from their ATM (machines). This is useful as you need to pay in cash.

There is no soap or shampoo provided. There is a line to dry your clothes but it is in the shade so it takes a lot longer to dry with the humidity. There are no beach towels (just the ones provided to have a shower), but our host, Nathalie, provided us with some. If you are unfamiliar with gas stoves, make sure you ask how to use it beforehand. There could have been more pillows provided. Ensure you wear shoes in the water (coral). If you do get a graze or cut from coral, clean the wound with limes to kill the bugs and infection. There is one fan, the kitchen gets the sun in the afternoon so it is roasting in there (make sure you close the curtains to keep out the direct sun and keep the place cooler). We kept the door to the kitchen closed so the lounge and rooms stayed cooler. The lounge is the coolest place and the rooms can be quite hot (but, it is the tropics so it is hot anyway!)

The bungalow was spacious, clean, modern, nicely appointed, and next to the ocean. It had a comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and ceiling fans throughout. Also an outdoor shaded seating area with table and chairs, lovely. Nathalie was always available to answer questions and to help out. The loaner bikes were very kind, though really a car or motorbike is ideal for getting into Fare and around the island. We loved being so close to the water even if swimming is not really feasible — the reef is close here and the lagoon shallow. The beach is gorgeous anytime but especially for sunsets, and we even saw whales one evening. Altogether a delightful place and a wonderfully memorable stay! One thing to consider when booking is that you will reserve a specific bungalow — there are three, all different. So a review for one bungalow doesn’t reflect the reality of every bungalow, they all have different advantages. Great value for the price!!

It was all good.

Le Spot is a fantastic location close to the township, a nice big room, great wifi connection,next to an amazing reef, so not to good for swimming but the public beach not far away.If you like crashing waves to go to sleep to it's a perfect place to unwind.I didn't have a car but Nathalie organised a taxi to Le Spot and I made use of the free bikes to ride around. It's simple but good value.

You can't drink the water from the tap so would of been nice to have some water provided before going to buy some.

The spacious and airy rooms. The very helpful staff.

Not much.

We loved the location so close to the beach and listening to the waves crashing over the reef. We spotted Humpback whales on several occasions which was amazing. The free use of the bikes was a bonus.

Only one working fan in our unit.

Location is excellent.. on the beach just outside of town. Nice facilities in the house with a large kitchen stocked with all the essentials for cooking.

It didn’t have a sign on the front of the house so it was difficult to find.

The manager (hostess) was wonderful. Although she didn’t speak English she tried very hard to be helpful, and for a reasonable fee transported us to and from the ferry. Grounds were nice, and it was in walking distance from the Main Street in town.

The beach out front of the property (which there is no view from in the house we stayed in) was rock and shallow water with mostly coral. So it was not a good place to stay cool during the day; too shallow to snorkel or swim. The room was spacious but not very comfortable and got very hot. The oven/stove were difficult to use and didn’t work well. There were ants everywhere.

It was a great location, close walk to Fare township. Large and spacious. Comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchen. Excellently shower. We were right on the beach. Bikes were available.

I read previous reviews about the lack of air conditioning in the ocean view bungalow being problematic. And yes at times it was uncomfortable due to the heat on Huahine but we had fans and had no difficulty sleeping.

Very good location. You probably need a car, but it is close to airport and village center with supermarket and restaurants. The “beach” is right there, but I think that you can use it only for walk. The room is big, good beds, good kitchen, good bathroom with hot water. The internet is good too! In the night the sea is very rough, but we like it like that, we slept like babies. Otherwise, you need hearplugs. Stephanie is a sweet lady, she was very responsive to our requests.

The place can get a little of identity, it seems to be neglected and some things easy to change are damaged. A lot of dust in the room, especialy at the windows. With a little bit of effort this place can be more atractive!

The fact that it was on Huahine!! Only that!

Old facilities - not very clean - Not value for money!! I would not stay here!!

The location is very good, we saw dolphines and whales from the beach. The place is very specious, it has a full equipped kitchen and and big bathroom and two queen size beds in the bedroom/living room. The windows has also have mosquito nets installed to keep the mosquito away from coming in the the house during the night. Nathalie welcomed us on arrival. She is super friendly and helped us with booking transfer for our recursion the day after. And she was always available in case of questions.

As the place is located right by the beach it's noisy from the waves during the whole night, so if you are a light sleeper, bring your earplugs.🙂

Steps away from the water, beautiful sunsets and snorkeling possible. Short bike ride (for free) or drive to Fare where restaurants and Super U were located. Nathalie was very nice, friendly and available.

The beds were quite uncomfortable. The owner should think about installing the AC because the portable fans were not enough or maybe ceiling fans would do the trick. The kitchen had the basic stuff but the appliances need to be replaced. I think that providing some shower gel and shampoo would make one feels more welcome.

Not dislike, but powerfull aircondition will be apprecciated.

The place spotless clean Free bikes for the use

There was no WIFI we had to walk to hotel nearby to connect to internet. The taxi organized by Le Spot overcharged us and squashed us into a car with 2 other passengers going to a different hotel The place has lots of space but no purpose or charm
