Nice resort

They didn’t notify guests of Tsunami. I assumed it wasn’t going to affect the Cook Islands. Later read there were warnings. Also a bit lax on identifying people’s luggage. Fortunately people are honest.

Excellent relaxed stay. Friendly welcome and pick up. Fabulous food, location, snorkeling, kayaking all in one place. Housekeeping, not so good- pot luck if the room is serviced! But overall wonderful- could have stayed longer!

We got greeted at airport with lovely fresh flower Leis and transported back to hotel both ways, included in price. We stayed in lagoon view room 3. The food onsite restaurant was nice and prices were reasonable. People came from other resorts to eat at Tava’e restaurant. We didn’t use the pool’s as a little chilly in June. The sea was much much warmer. There was water equipment to use, paddle boards, kayaks etc with dedicated person to look after you all day. Island night was nice too. $80 for the smorgasbord with a small dance show afterwards. This place has everything you need here.

Nearly new, modern resort. Beachfront room was perfect as was the beach. Snorkelling off the beach was good too. Biggest gripe was the continental breakfast. Not much for $900 per night. Nice extra was being able to rent a scooter for the day for $30. Would return for sure.

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.

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.
