Rangiroa Tiputa Lodge B&B

We loved having breakfast and coffee on the balcony, looking over the private beach and clear blue lagoon. There was fresh bread, homemade yogurt, several delicious jams, and cereal. The apartment was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, with a well-equipped kitchen for making meals. Raymond and Anto were such sweet, welcoming hosts and made us feel like we were their priority. They arranged our airport transfers, including a short water taxi, and greeted us with flower necklaces. The lodge felt private, like a little slice of paradise, while still being not far from Tiputa’s main town. Raymond also drove us wherever we needed to go, which helped with all the dives we’d scheduled. We had a fantastic few days here on our honeymoon and can’t wait to come back.

The owners were so friendly and helpful, arranging tours and meals and giving us rides whenever needed. The apartment itself is beautiful and has its own balcony and living area, with everything we needed. We could kayak and snorkel right from the doorstep. Recommended!

The hosts were friendly and really helpful, including with arranging all our activities. The apartment is new, nicely designed, and felt like home. It also has a private beach. Fantastic place in Rangiroa!

We’ll come back to French Polynesia as soon as we can, partly just to stay with Henry again and ride bikes with him so we don’t get lost on the way to the village. He made the whole stay feel magical. He’s one of the kindest people in French Polynesia, and the place is lovely and clean, with a little beach and great snorkeling. He also provides concierge-style help with diving arrangements, transfers, excursions, and anything else you can think of. His breakfasts are out of this world, and he’s a Michelin-level chef. He made desserts from local ingredients too, and I’m already thinking about coming back for the cakes and ice cream. As experienced divers, we also thought Tiputa Pass was one of the best dive sites in French Polynesia. Thanks to Serge, we saw Dolphins, Hammerhead Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Gray Sharks, Turtles, Napoleon Fish, and Octopus. Thanks for making the stay so wonderful!
