Le Coconut Lodge

"Perfect Paradise at Le Coconut Lodge in Rangiroa" We recently stayed at Le Coconut Lodge in Rangiroa, perfectly situated near the 6 Passengers Dive Shop and the stunning beach. The Lodge offers everything you could need for a relaxing and adventurous getaway. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary equipment available for guests, including paddle boards and snorkels. The breakfast was a delightful array of baked goods, jams, yogurt, and fresh fruit, all enjoyed with a breathtaking view. The rooms were clean, uniquely decorated, and very comfortable, creating a cozy bed and breakfast atmosphere. Alice, our host, was incredibly attentive, helping us organize various excursions and providing recommendations for local dining. We also appreciated the convenience of having dinner available on-site with prior arrangement. We can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise and unwind once again.

Family friendly, accommodating, great location

Me and my husband booked 3 nights at the lodge but unfortunately we only get 1 night and half off the next day. It was short but we loved it so much, the room,, the outdoor veranda and the beach. We wanted to stay there more so next time when we will be back to visit Tikehau we will make a stoop at this wonderful lodge Big thanks for this short but wonderful stay and will be back for sure Emma and Michael from Sweden

Lovely stay, Very relaxing, Lovely breakfast, Great big sized bed. To make use of your wide range of bikes (with lights!) was great. Few hundred meters from 6 passenger DiveShop is very convenient, too. Stayed 3 nights which was just perfect for us.

Ok, I will start off by taking some personal responsibility for this review up front. I did score this higher because I did this to myself by staying as long as we did. This is a 4 day stay kind of place max, not 10 days/9 nights, so this is part is my mistake. We had almost every room and guest turn over 3 times while we were there, so we knew we booked too long. That being said, I can honestly say we booked here because of the scuba diving. Diving 6 Passengers was right next door and easy to get to for a 7:30 dive. The rooms were good but could have used more housekeeping as our stay was very long and could have used a changing the sheets a couple times. WiFi does not work anywhere except up by the main office. There is absolutely no signal at all, ever, anywhere else on the grounds. Sometimes you would get a small blip of service of 1 bar for 30 seconds and that was about it so be prepared to stand up by the office with a group of people all trying to get a little service. The grounds are nice and well maintained and clean. Again, I reiterate we were here for Scuba Diving and expected what we got in terms of lodging, price, food, and water sports. We intentionally packed food so we could have breakfast each morning before our dives as the breakfast is the same every day and unimaginative. Bread, Coffee, Tea, juice, fruit, and yogurt. Keep this in mind as a Diver as you cannot live on this, and it never changes and after day 4 it’s really not fun. We ate dinner here a couple nights and it was good. A little high in price compared to what you got, but still very convenient to not have to leave after a long day of Diving. I like the cabana seating, however none of us liked sitting next to other guests while we ate. Being elbow to elbow breakfast and Dinner is very awkward especially when none of the groups understand each other so we sit there in silence most times nodding to each other and smiling. I did like that they opened the kitchen window and you could get wine at night with some great options that were very reasonably priced. Now for the hardest part of my Review…. I have to say the Managers are both very hard working and very nice and pleasant to speak with however we did feel very mislead about a lot of aspects. We started with Sophie on the first 4 days and would ask opinions of places to see or go or eat. We started feeling mislead by day 2 and stopped asking advice. She kept trying to direct us to areas to the right of the resort. She directed us to only go right and said multiple times there is nothing good if you go to the left past the airport. We asked about resorts, and she said no one would serve us because we were not guests of those hotels. Well, I can tell you everything she told us was completely wrong. The worst grocery store is to the right, the worst dining is to the right and every resort we went to served us with no problem whatsoever. The good dining and the good grocery store were all to the left past the airport.

As we all know, French Poly is eye wateringly expensive. When I was looking for a place to stay pre and post a yacht charter on far flung Rangiroa, I found Le Coconut Lodge to be fairly priced, compared to a couple of other properties and I would describe it as rustic. Location near the Ohutu Dock was also important. The bungalows were nice, spacious and clean, with air conditioning. The meals were simple but healthy and well portioned, bikes were available to use, and we also had the use of a kayak, an SUP, fins and snorkeling gear. We were picked up and dropped off at the airport and dock. The 2 managers Audrey and Sophie who work alternate weeks were excellent and accommodating. They also stored a cabin bag we didn’t need until we returned from the charter. The photo here is identical to one I took. The property is right on the beach and has a small coral reef adjacent to it with plenty of tropical fish. I recommend this property.
