In addition to booking his hotel, the four of us also booked a private island hotel across the street. After going out to sea, we just sat in the room to change clothes, and the boss suspected that we wanted four people to stay in the same room. After explaining to him, he looked very unhappy. I have never seen such a stingy boss. He even went into the room to check if there were any extra people staying the next day. It made people feel very uncomfortable! The room cost more than 1,000 yuan, but the room was worth more than 300 yuan at most.

Perfect little place for the family Third time to this Island. First time staying at this bungalow. It was clean and tidy air conditioning in the main bedroom only fans in every room to keep the circulation going. It’s situated right in front of the lagoon with steps to the water.

Incredible Setting This is not a high end resort but tge staff try really hard to make your stay pleasant. Our every request was immediately dealt with. Dylan, the manager, is a sweet man with a huge smile. The resort is located on a very pretty beach/lagoon. They have free use if kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. They also rent cars and scooters. The Blue Lagoon Restaurant is close by as us the Koru Bakery, both of which i recommend highly.

Very quiet, little area right on the water.Basically 12 bungalow cabins .Big thanks to Dylan picking up and dropping off from airport.NOTE:..this is not a "luxury" resort , but the location is great, price is great for the traveller that wants a quiet, low key island experience.NOTE: Aitutaki can get very hot so consider the Cabins with air conditioning..Also the roosters rule and can get noisy...LOL

Stayed a week which is a bit long. Got a room without air conditioning which is unbearable with the high level of humidity. We had to ask for one with the air conditioning and a kitchenette- wonderful! The tours are very expensive so we just stayed swim in the lagoon, make use of the free kayaks and the pool on site. Staff are helpful and friendly. The room that we had was just quite basic and needs upgrading.

Shame about the guy. Very basic cabin. Office open only til noon. Left our bags told we could collect late in the afternoon. All locked up. No answer on the provided phone. The crankiest (non-Aitutakian) man allowed us to get our bags saying obviously it’s all locked because office hours are til 12. Completely unnecessary behaviour and attitude to guests who just paid heartily to stay there. He needs to develop some customer service skills or get off this most beautiful island.
