Cinthia and Andrea are such wonderful hosts, from the welcome kit they kindly offered to a delicious breakfast every morning (with real coffee!), I was sad to leave at the end of a week-long stay. The bungalow was spacious and clean and well furnished, and they were readily available to answer any questions or to help if needed. The bed was comfortable, and there was a lovely ocean breeze to stay cool (I didn't even need to use the fan most of the time). The location was great for walking over to Tiputa Pass and the handful of shops/restaurants over there. I would happily stay here again!
United States of AmericaHad wonderful stay. The hosts are warm and kind people. The place is at a great location - Tiputa pass is close by where you can see dolphins jumping and there is a grocery in 5 - 10 minute walk. I stayed in a dormitory room. I was clean, spacious and mattress was new and comfortable. Airport transportation (included in the price) worked out very well. The accommodation provides a bicycle that allowed me to browse around the island. Check in/Check out was easy as well.
Abkhazia, GeorgiaThe breakfast was great and the location is on the ocean just 2 minute walk to Tiputa pass. The bikes and snorkel gear was good too.
United States of AmericaVery nice bed in the dorm. You have everything you need for a nice stay in Rangiroa. Close to the dolphin spot. The Italian dinner cooked by the owner was delicious. I enjoyed my stay very much!
French Polynesia- Best breakfast we got in French Polynesia - Owners are very nice and showed us around and helped us for booking activities - Free transfer from airport - very good location (near dolphin watch spot, near Tiputa, near convenience stores, near small beach where you see sharks, etc.) - lot of bikes that you can borrow (but most of them are rusty and difficult to trust since the salty wind damaged them a lot)
JapanThe room was nice with a big terrace , the owner very friendly and the breakfast excelent.
RomaniaThe villa was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night and stargazing. Property is across the road from the beach and close to the Tiputa Pass. Bikes are available for free to explore the island. Host Andrea and his wife are amazing cooks. The breakfast and dinners they hosted were exceptional and of excellent restaurant quality!!
AustraliaAbsolutely everything was very good. The house was spacious, very clean, the bed was comfortable. Especially, I would like to thank the hostess and the host who were very kind and helpful. In addition to everything they cook very well, the house own a very good home restaurant. Very good coffee, pancakes, homemade yogurt, great food. Since there are only 3 guest houses, everyone gets to know each other and it is good to have breakfast or dinner, listen to the others good recommendations and adventures. Very good location, I highly recommend
EstoniaI loved my stay here. Very quiet location, steps from the ocean and a very short walk to the lagoon. Andrea was very helpful and informative - and even made a delicious vegan breakfast!
United KingdomThe owners are very nice couple and answered our questions with patience and promptly before we checked in. Cyntia showed us around by car after picking up us at airport and offered a lot of information. Close to tiputa pass. Full equipped kitchen. 2 stores within walking distance and for sure can get a free bike from the guesthouse. Great location for travelers especially divers who would check out tiputa pass. So convenient.
