Wonderful boutique hotel on the beach. The snorkeling and kayaking right in front of the hotel is great (they provide free equipment) and the restaurant is fabulous. Staff are friendly and helpful.

All I can say is don't hesitate to book. We loved Aitutaki and this resort. I wish we stayed longer.... Our room was lovely as this resort is newer. The staff was outstanding. The beach was second to none and was never crowded. The restaurant was awesome with great service by John and Tharuru. The Polynesian show and island buffet was so fun and the food truly excellent. Front desk staff Tutu was so pleasant to work with. I would not hesitate to book again!!

The accommodation was clean and well presented, the meals we had there were tasty and good value.
Disappointment was finding out when we arrived that both pools were unusable (Lime Green - no chemicals). It would be easy to notify the guests pre arrival or at arrival and perhaps offer a complimentary cocktail or similar.

The room facing the lagoon was fabulous. Beautifully decorated, big porch with a great view close to a wonderful beach. Swimming and snorkelling both great (but high tide is recommended).
A really good restaurant on site too, although the included breakfast was a bit limited and needed some paid for complements

We loved to beach area, however what dampened oyr visit was we could not arrange a late checkout. We were the only guests leaving on at 1.oo pm and checkin is 3 pm for any new quests. We have to wait outside filor 3 hours to get to airport with other place to go. Also they shut wifi off immediately at 10.30 so we couldnt contact any one. Believe no need for that.

Our room was immaculate all the small details like the sliding door insect screen, room service hook, pool access & having your own outdoor seating area. All the staff were wonderful especially Andrew he was amazing! That was my 2nd visit to Aitutaki & the beginning of my holiday that made it memorable!

Very new property, so lovely, clean and fresh. The restaurant has an absolutely awesome vibe, music, staff and not to mention the sunsets on the deck. It really makes the place.

This resort is outstanding, from the excellent rooms to the amazing staff, nothing could be faulted. The room was large for four adults, clean and in beautiful condition. The resort itself has two beautiful pools and is right on the beachfront, so very easy to do whatever you want. Snorkeling right off the beach - bring some aqua socks. Amazing - 10 out of 10 for sure.
