I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rino’s motel, at short notice. I was impressed with the experience we had, we were greeted with warm hospitality and outstanding service. The room was clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable which was a bonus for us! I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities including toiletries and complimentary breakfast each morning. Although it would’ve been nice for our rooms to be cleaned each day. The location of the accommodation is perfect - close to shops and attractions. What truly was exceptional - The staff were amazing and made sure we were well looked after. Providing friendly and attentive service made me feel right at home. Definitely recommend this place - cheap and affordable. Thank you Rino’s motel.

Awesome experience in Aitutaki

We had a wonderful time at Rino’s since we arrived to the airport. We were welcomed by Alone that made us feel at home from minute one and made sure that we enjoyed our stay %100. She also went out of her way to help us out to find tours and bikes during a very busy season. And she always had time and patience to chat with us and share some good advice. The rooms were great, breakfast delicious and the beachfront accommodation was overall stunning. Our rooms were cleaned daily by the lovely stuff. The price/value balance is outstanding. We truly recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend time in paradise in a very laid back and friendly home away from home. Thank you guys

Great place to stay right on the beach. The hosts are lovely and will go out of their way to help!! Breakfast included was the best as eating out can be a bit difficult on Aitutaki.

A nice place to stay - friendly and helpful owners

Rino's is a nice, relaxing place to stay. It was good to be able to self cater. The owners are friendly and very helpful (as are the other staff) and you almost felt you were part of the family. For example, when I was let down by one company at very short notice they organised another lagoon tour for me. Having the use of a washing machine was great. A suggestion: a bedside light and a wardrobe/rail to hang your clothes would have been good.

Motel, Null Romantik

Zimmer mit Gartenblick ist Trash: laut (direkt an der Straße), hell(keine Verdunkelung an Fenster zu Straße und Haupthaus), kein Licht am Bett, alte Möbel. Dusche jedoch neu und warmes Wasser. Upgrade-Zimmer unverhältnismäßig teuer. Sorry, Rino (netter Herr mit starkem Frauenteam), aber kein Ort, um einen runden Geburtstag zu begehen. Besser gleich mehr ausgeben und zu Ootu-Beach gehen.

Nice friendly people.

We had a great time. Fishing off the beach out the back. When we got there mentioned wanting a fishing charter and had Mike from Black Pearl fishing at our door making arrangements the next day. Hire scooters and vehicles at yor door. The motel is near the shops. The people made us very welcome and we just had a great time.
