First Visit to Rangiroa

Amazing little Pension tucked away off the road, the room was a three bed and we were all female which was pleasant. Easy to get to from the airport either in a taxi (10 minutes) or on foot if you wish (50 minutes). Shared shower, toilet and fridge with an outdoor gas cooker. Only thing to remember is your mosquito repellent and bite cream, they are everywhere.

Frische Brise

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit einer frischen Brise vom Meer. Frühstück bestehend aus Kokosbrot, Pancakes, frischem Saft , Marmelade und Sirup für die Waffeln. Auf Wunsch auch mehr Brot anstelle von Pancakes. Rose hat sich sich sehr gekümmert, nachgefragt,ob alles in Ordnung ist,einen Ausflug zur blauen Lagune organisiert (unbedingt teilnehmen, Südseeparadies pur) und auch die Fahrten ab und zum Flughafen organisiert. Wir hatten den Bungalow mit Meerblick, zwar eingeschränkt durch Mauern, aber durch die Lage immer den frischen Wind vom Meer.

OK....So when I first got there I thought I'd made a mistake....no A/C. But.......It only took me a couple of hours to settle in to Rangiroa breezes and karma. Just open up all the windows and let your attitude adjust. Andrea and Cynthia are the most delightful hosts one could imagine. If you needed anything, had any problem, or just had a question they were there for you! The breakfasts (included) were fabulous. Jump on their free bikes to work off the calories and enjoy the Polynesian ocean air. If you said yes to Andrea cooking your dinner......you will not be disappointed....period!!! Remember, this isn't the Hyatt Regency in LA. This is a tiny atoll in French Polynesia. If you are a princess, don't go.

Andrea a sauvé notre séjour

Climat déréglé ou autre, nous avons passé 3 jours de pluie quasi continue alors que nous étions en "saison sèche". Heureusement, l'accueil et la gentillesse d'Andréa nous ont permis de passer un excellent séjour. Il nous a emmené en voiture faire le tour de lîle, avec plein d'explications très intéressantes, en prenant sur son temps pour nous aider à faire passer le nôtre. Il est de plus un excellent cuisinier et le repas du soir était un véritable plaisir. Il a vraiment été là pour nous. De plus, ses bungalows sont très bien, face à la mer et tout proche de la passe où les dauphins jouent le soir. Très bon restaurant (Lili) à quelques minutes à pieds pour le repas du midi.
