We took our family of 4 and had a lovely time. The location is quiet, peaceful, and remote which we loved. We walked all around the property as much as we pleased and explored the beautiful scenery. The fishing was great and Captain was amazing. They even cooked the fish we caught and the chef was superb. It’s very easy to relax and unwind from the American hustle and bustle at Aotera. The host was very welcoming, friendly and helpful during the whole stay. It definitely was a week in paradise.

If you are looking for the ultimate secluded beach get away totally away from everything no cars roads or bikes..this is it. GILLIGANS ISLAND without the Skipper and Mary Ann! Nothing but untouched coast line and Palm trees. With that being Aotera Guest House offers very basic bungalows right on the stand steps away from the aqua blue sea. It is however no frills and very basic . No hot water or AC. But sometimes you have to give up the small luxuries in life if you cant afford the Conrad or Sofital and still seek absolute paradise! Far from it all the Captain will pick you up at the Marina and it is a 20 min boat ride to the Guest house. The food is ok to decent- Beer is available Beware if you walk down the beach. Along the way the only other property has doberman pincher dogs that have attacked toursists so be aware.

Le lieu est fantastique, naturel, au milieu de l'océan et loin du tourisme de masse. Alyssone est la chef de la restauration de la pension. Elle est fantastique, tres gentille, sympathique, accueillante, douée en cuisine, en danse et pour divertir. Matua Nui, qui est le capitaine, et sa femme sont également très gentils. Nous sommes restés 3 jours, nous avions un bungalow avec vue sur la mer. Le bungalow est propre et dispose de tout le nécessaire. Sur l'île, il n'y a ni magasins, ni bars, ni restaurants, seulement cette pension et quelques maisons/cabanes abandonnées ou en construction. La pension s'occupe de tout : le transport entre l'aéroport et le Motu, les excursions, et la restauration. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés, la mer était très agitée et le trajet en petite barque n'a pas été agréable. L'excursion à la Lagune Bleue est fantastique, c'est l'endroit le plus beau que j'aie jamais vu.

remoteness and quiet, like on a deserted island by yourself but not helpless, areas to explore on your own or with a group to far side of island. Be a beach comber.

Fantastiskt boende på en i övrigt i princip obebodd motu. Magisk vit korall sand strand! Servicen fantastisk, transporter ((30-45 min båttur, lite beroende på väder) funkade klockrent. Utmärkt mat och mycket trevlig personal. Det enda negativa var att det fanns mycket mygg. När vi kommer åter till Rangiroa om ett par år kommer vi helt säkert bo på Aotera Guesthouse igen.

Site magnifique situé à 45 minutes de la ville de Rangiroa mais infesté de moustiques et nonos … Le gérant est sympathique et cherche à vous satisfaire ! L’isolement est sans aucun doute un inconvénient

Excellent. We were picked up from the airport upon arrival, taken to the boat and had a 30 min ride to the hotel. Initially we were concerned of remote location but it didn’t matter: the hotel provides everything you need, dinner is just $US 15 pp and very tasty. They provide breakfast and all day tea and (instant) coffee. You can buy good Nespresso, wine and beer and the price is average for FP. We liked it so much that extended our stay to six nights. Try to get a lagoon bungalow (more breeze and gorgeous view from the room). The bungalows have just been repaired and everything is brand new and clean. They send a boat daily to the village to pick up tourists and buy groceries, do you can get to the village easily if you want to. Or you can snorkel and fish right from the beach. Bring lots of mosquito repellent! They are doing good job to keep them away in the restaurant and the room are equipped with the screen doors but there are lots of mosquitoes in FP. The owner helped us with booking the Blue lagoon tour (which we loved!) Very relaxed and happy atmosphere

Un séjour exceptionel. Une localisation à rangiroa idéale, plage de sable blanc et cocotiers dans un lieu privilégié éloigné et accessible, un bungalow tout confort face à la mer, une équipe accueillante, disponible et très sympathique, des repas délicieux. Un seul objectif: revenir.

La plus belle plage de Rangiroa, des bungalows situés à 20 m de la plage de sable blanc. Un accueil très sympathique du propriétaire et du personnel et une bonne restauration. Notre coup de cœur de notre séjour en Polynésie.

Der Transfer hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Die Bootsfahrt zur Insel hat was magisches an sich. Vor Ort angekommen bist du im Robinson Cruso Feeling. Wir kamen am Nachmittag an und unsere Bungalow Nummer wurde uns nur zugeworfen und er war noch schmutzig von den Vormietern. Am Abend gibt es immer ein Gericht auf Fischbasis dazu Reis und Gemüse, wir mögen keinen Fisch, für uns wurde stattdessen Omlette gemacht, vielen Dank an dieser Stelle. Der Ausflug mit Kaimana Excursion sehr empfehlenswert. Das Wasser zum Duschen ist nur kalt, sehr wichtig zwischen 22:00 bis 06:30wird das Wasser abgestellt, Toilette funktionstüchtig, Duschen/Händewaschen Fehlanzeige. WLAN ist sehr schlecht, mehrere Router vor Ort aber nicht erlaubt zu nutzen. Verbesserung: Flyer in der Unterkunft mit wichtigsten Infos aufgrund schlechter Kommunikation und Lieblosigkeit zu den Gästen Engl/Franz. Tafel für flexiblere Bootsfahrtzeiten, für An/Abfahrten im Austausch der Gäste am Abend. Frische Kokosnuss als Obst anbieten genügend auf der Insel. Viel Potential wenig Umsetzung. Organisation/ Kommunikation sind A und O.

Cadre magnifique Concernant les repas, ça pourrait être mieux avec des produits frais et simples. L'organisation générale reste à revoir. Beaucoup de moustiques et pas de moustiquaires dans les chambres. BREF du potentiel mais pas exploite.

La posizione è davvero spettacolare: un motu remoto immerso nella natura, mare cristallino, silenzio assoluto e cieli stellati mozzafiato. Purtroppo, la bellezza del luogo non è supportata da una gestione all’altezza. Le strutture appaiono molto diverse da quanto mostrato online: i bungalow sono poco curati, con infissi danneggiati, lenzuola macchiate e asciugamani bucati. Nonostante fosse previsto, non abbiamo ricevuto pulizie giornaliere né un’accoglienza all’arrivo. Le aree comuni risultano trascurate, con baldacchini in spiaggia senza materassi e una “reception” praticamente inesistente. Il Wi-Fi è presente solo vicino al ristorante e non è indicato che solo la SIM VINI funziona a Rangiroa. L’organizzazione lascia a desiderare: orari vaghi, poca comunicazione, pasti semplici e ripetitivi, senza attenzione a preferenze o intolleranze. Le escursioni sono gestite in modo informale e con prezzi non sempre coerenti con quanto indicato sul sito. Nel complesso, la struttura ha un potenziale enorme, ma servirebbe maggiore cura nei dettagli, attenzione all’ospite e trasparenza. Un’accoglienza più calorosa, una manutenzione costante e una cucina più curata farebbero davvero la differenza. Con piccoli accorgimenti potrebbe diventare un luogo indimenticabile.

The hotel is under new management New owners are great But they inherited a run down property Except location nothing is good about the property The water pressure is so low that you barely clean yourself The boat which brings you to property is not maintained at all One day we were not able to go for our excursion as it never started While coming back it get out of fuel which they have to refill at the sea In one trip the motor was not moving up and down

This property was misrepresented on the expedia website. No restaurant, bar, coffee shop. Maybe a washing machine. The wireless’s internet only worked in the main building which was open and mosquito ridden. The sheets were dirty! The floor was filthy, the outdoor furniture was broken, the hot water in the shower didn’t work, there shower head was blocked and water sprayed everywhere. The faucet on the sink didn’t really work and when turned on the shower ran. There was minimal breakfast and dinner was what they served at a basic table with dirty glasses and a plastic table cloth. We were supposed to stay three days, we lasted less than 24 hours. The place needs to be shut down

No hospitality of the owners, they don’t inform and communicate with their clients, no welcome, a warm landing at the accommodation. A lack of hospitality of the owners. Another thing is the hygiene of the accommodation. During diner there are pigs, a dog and rats walking around in the restaurant. The food they serve is really terrible. Another thing is the hygiene of the accomodation. In this type of climate you need to clean bathroom and toilet at least once a day. No cleaning in four days of our stay. There are bed bugs in the bed! The service of breakfast, lunch and diner are terrible with earlier mentioned terrible quality. When leaving no warm goodbye and thanks for the stay. A total disappointment. The only positive thing is the location.
