What a lovely staff! Lety was so helpful and prompt in correspondence before our arrival and throughout our stay. We truly felt like family members with the hospitality and kindness extended to us. Be sure to take advantage of the half board--dinner was amazing!

We loved our stay!
Alain was excellent! He picked us up and dropped us at the airport, was kind and humble, gave us bikes to use to get around, and information on excursions as well. He also is a great cook! I recommend dinner at the hotel! At the end of our stay, he felt like a friend.

Solid budget option
Simple, small pension convenient to diving centers, Kia Ora resort and Tiputa pass. No frills, good communication and low key vibes.

My husband Joe and I had the most fantastic stay at Alain's place back in August. He really is the most wonderful host and genuinely cares that his guests have a great stay. The location is lovely, just a minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute cycle to Tiputa pass. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need to just get away from everyday life. I was a little worried before arriving that we hadn't sorted any excursions, but Alain went out of his way to book us the day trips we wanted to do. Including our introductory scuba, which was just superb! Another day we went to the Blue Lagoon and we also did a drift snorkel - which was honestly one of the best things I've ever done. The food was really one of the high points for me. The fresh fish on the BBQ was just delightful and a really reasonable price given how expensive food is out there. After weeks of travelling and eating out it was so nice to just have a lovingly cooked meal and getting to chat to Alain and the other guests. It really was one of the absolute high-points on our trip. We went on to do the luxury-5*-overwater-bungalow-instagram-thing afterwards and honestly we both look back on our time at Alain's just as fondly for different reasons. It's a really really special place - we are both planning on getting our PADI certificates and then one day we hope to come back for longer.

Our stay was truly incredible! The rooms were just perfect, really cute decorations, kitchen with a medium size fridge and a stove, a very powerful fan for when it got hot, and the most comfortable bed we slept in during our stay in French Polynesia. There was also a cute shaded private patio for every room and the main garden area is one of the prettiest and best kept in the island (turns out its hard to grow things on coral). The food was delicious and a great value, especially the dinner, which was always incredibly fresh and honestly better than the more expensive things we tried on the island. It was also really fun to get to meet the other guests during the family-style meals. The location was perfect, a quick 2 min walk away from nice beaches (right next to Kia Ora) and there were bikes readily available so you can hit any part of the island in like 30 min max. But despite how perfect everything was the best part of the whole stay has to be Alain. Alain is an incredible host, not only does he speak every language but he helped make sure we were able to book all the activities we wanted, he cooked us delicious meals and provided great conversation, and just really made us feel at home. When we return to Rangiroa we know where we will be staying!!

Nous avons trouvé dans cette pension tout ce que nous recherchions: excellent accueil d'Alain le maître des lieux, convivialité, rencontre de personnes étrangères, simplicité, partage des traditions polynésiennes. De plus, excellente literie et repas locaux de grande qualité. L'absence de plage de qualité à proximité (hors la plage de l'hôtel proche de la pension) a été largement compensée par les excursions de qualité proposées par Alain.

オーナーがとても親切で日本語で一生懸命話しかけてくれます。オプショナルツアーの手配もしてくれ助かりました。歩いてすぐの場所に美しいビーチがありシュノーケリングできます。キアオラのプライベートビーチに繋がっていてとても静かでした。無料のレンタル自転車でティプタパスは5分以内で行け、運が良いとドルフィンジャンプが見れます。自転車では島のあちこちを回れて楽しかったですよ。夕食は有料で作ってもらえて、オーナーと他の宿泊客と同じテーブルを囲みます。日本人が泊まりやすいおすすめのペンションです。
