So cozy and welcoming. The design and architecture is stunning yet practical. The bugalow space is utilized very well. The front room and kitchen are spacious. The bed/bedroom is comfortable. The bathroom was clean and sensible. Everything felt very glamorous without being over the top.

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.

Aller à l’hôtel plutôt que ces pensions de famill
La personne qui s’occupe de cet établissement fait réellement tout ce qu’il peut avec les moyens du bord Les patrons tenant une pizzeria à Tahiti semblent n’avoir rien à en faire du moment que des clients comme nous se font piéger par les commentaires du guide Lonely dont le rédacteur n’a visiblement pas visité l’établissement

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.

Hyggelig, velholdt og fantastisk mad
Rigtig dejlig familiært backerpacker sted med gode faciliteter. Lækker morgenmad og den bedste aftensmenu i Fransk Polynesien: polynesiske specialiteter som "poison cru" = rå fisk i kokosmælk suppleret med det bedste fra kokkens ophold i forskellige lande og italienske baggrund
