We visited Rangiroa 10 years ago and stayed at Kia Ora Hotel, and Sauvage. This time we stayed at Relais Josephine, and enjoyed every minute of it. 10 years ago, we came to Josephine for dinner one night, and I made note of the wonderful cuisine. That part has not changed. All three of our dinners (included in the price)... More

The kindness and hospitailty of Denise, her daughter Severine and son in law Horia prompted me to search their address for a card this Christmas. Le Relais de Josephine is set in a lovely location on the Tiputa Pass where, as everyone says, the dolphins leap and play with every tide change, right out in front of the restaurant deck!... More

My wife and I stayed at Relais Josephine for our time in Rangiroa as part of our honeymoon trip.  It was one of two bed & breakfasts we stayed at in French Polynesia and the low point of our accommodations on the islands.  Having read the other reviews, I dismissed the negative comments as two travel agents had recommended the...

Location is aboslutely best in Rangiroa and it was admitted by locals. Jumping "dancing" dolphins in evenings and sometimes mornings are "must see" and you can do it while relaxing or having drink on terrace or from bungalow if you are lucky. Bungalow was nice and fairly clean - room, terace and bathroom. It might be that bungalows what are... More

It is absolutely the best resort in rangiroa. Excellent for the position, where you can see every evening the dolphins returning to the lagoon. The food is delicious but a little bit spiced and with a touch of oriental More

I should have known when we arrived in our pass view fare & I remarked to the bejeweled, pretentious owner how wonderful it was to hear the locals' drums wafting through the jungle, and she said: "I HATE their music!" It went downhill from there. The roomy fares are built for appearance, but not for function. The eaves are so... More

We stayed Les Relaise de Josephine from 1/6 to 1/10 2009. They are very nice and kind, and tried to provide the most comfort they could provide. The breakfast was simple, but they tried to provide us some varieties, the dinner was great, we even had lobsters. Don't miss watching dolphins at the pass around 6:00pm, it was wonderful. Love...

We were picked up a bit late at the airport by Denis (a young Frenchman) who is a bit surly and so were a bit apprehensive given the first review of this place. But we needn't have worried--we spent three lovely nights here. Once we got to the Pension, the owner's daughter was so warm and welcoming. The bungalows are... More
