    Absolutely nothing could be improved. Staying in the bungalows is a slice of heaven. Any photos do not do the place justice.

    The keys came to us! We arrived in Aitutaki, were collected by a lovely lady, driven to the property and met be another lovely lady at the door, ready to hand the keys. It couldn't have been easier or more personal, we felt very special and warmly welcomed. The greatest asset to the property is the owner/ manager Vicki! I have never stayed in accommodation where the host catches up with you every day to check all is well, ask if there is anything we need, drives us around and pops over for a chat. Vicki made the stay at Paparei very special, nothing was too much trouble; her warmth, care, good sense of humour and love of meeting people and sharing her story as well as hearing theirs is a truly remarkable characteristic, especially in a world where the norm is the opposite. We were very grateful for all Vicki added to our time at Paparei.

    Nothing Really, the breakfast loaf was generous, maybe more butter with the breakfast basket.

    Welcoming Host, Great location right on the beach, nice attention to detail such as sun lounger, beach towels, cushions and nice furniture on the deck, flowers on arrival. Beach Villa had Air con and breakfast included. Everything immaculately clean. The hammocks in the shade between the palm trees were perfect for relaxing. Host provided transport back to the airport at no cost. Will stay next time I visit Aitutaki.
