This is a beautiful property all rooms are very well keeped and the location is very good, with amazing views of the ocean and jumping dolphins give you a show every afternoon, but the meal plan is not optional very expensive and the food is very bad ,and very small portions we had a tuna tartare that was actualy good...

SNAPSHOT - recommend? ABSOLUTELY! After what felt like a huge trip just to get here (Brisbane > Auckland > Papeete > Rangiroa) we arrived at the airport and were met by our pickup man (sweet, very limited English) and were transported to our lovely 'petite hôtelerie' at the edge of the Tiputa Pass. From there we were ably welcomed by... More

Les Relais de Josephine on the Tiputa Pass is the most amazing place to get away from the rat race of life and just relax. The rooms are wonderful. We thought we had the best cabin, which was right on the ocean and away from everyone else. Room The room is spacious, with a safe and plenty of storage room.... More

It was my 7th visit to Rangiroa and the 4th to Relais de Josephine. I can recommend Les Relais because it is unique: a nice view on the Tiputa Pass with the dolphins, renovated rooms, friendly staff and good meals in a cosy atmosphere.

We stayed here for the first leg of our honeymoon. It was between here and kia ora. I have to admit, some of the reviews on here made me pause. But we decided to go with it anyway. And we are so glad we did. Denise, the owner, is lovely and very accommodating. My wife and I have bizarre food... More

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
