I can't say enough good things about our stay here and Aitutaki in general. I've been fortunate to go to many nice tropical vacations and this is now my favorite. Tai Roto Bay Beach Villas is on the airport side of the island. There are three restaurants within walking distance and a coffee cafe that closes mid afternoon. The facility is clean, comfortable, beautifully situated on a lagoon with a quiet beach. A short walk is a private island/hotel, with places to snorkel along the way. A really nice place to snorkel is on the opposite side of the airport. You can get there by bicycle or scooter, but we went when we had a car for the day. The beach is beautiful and empty. There are lots of shells, but there are strict rules on what and where you can gather shells. Its actually illegal to take shells out of the country without getting approval from local authorities. They just wants to make sure you aren't taking any protected shells. Taking shells is generally frowned upon as many hermit crabs need them for homes. Each morning they bring you a wonderful, healthy breakfast. Anyway, this is a wonderful place to stay. The staff are all wonderful. I highly recommend staying here. Go during the "dry" season!
