The three-and-a-half-pearl Royal Huahine is a secluded, beachfront property that's an affordable alternative to the pricey hotels with overwater bungalows in Bora Bora. However, the low cost translates to basic rooms, lots of wear and tear throughout, a lack of spa and fitness facilities, and complaints of understaffing. Laid-back travelers willing to forgo those luxuries, however, are often enamored with the peaceful and lush setting, with lots of sea life-spotting opportunities. The 40 spacious bungalows have mini-fridges, furnished patios, air-conditioning, and kettles, but no free Wi-Fi. A pretty beachfront and swimming pool provide relaxation options, but plastic chairs have seen better days. A handful of kayaks, canoes, and snorkeling equipment are available for free. An open-air eatery and casual lunch restaurant serve decent fare. For more modern digs and a less-remote setting, consider Maitai Lapita Village Huahine.
