    The food in the restaurant wasn’t the nicest

    Perfect location, great staff and amenities. They have daily activities you can join in on e.g. fish feeding, kayak tours. You get kayaks, bicycles, hammocks and snorkel equipment. There is a pool table and table tennis. Really nice pool area with day beds. Outdoor shower was fantastic. Yum cocktails and cheap with happy hour. We really enjoyed our stay and the views were amazing.

    A couple of first world problems. Firstly, the price of the accommodation demands free wif-fi. I know you are on holidays, but you still want to interact with the outside world. Secondly, it was strange that the resort ran out of bottled water on the first day, as it did with a number of wines. If almost felt like they were like on stop credit with their suppliers. Thirdly, the menu was repetitive. A chef's daily special would have been nice.

    World class location that takes your breath away. The staff were excellent and called you by your first name! The lagoon is a bucket list item for sure.

    My recent stay at Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort was an unforgettable tropical paradise experience. From the moment I arrived, the attentive and friendly staff made me feel like royalty. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect, from accommodating special requests to providing excellent recommendations for local activities and excursions. The culinary offerings at the resort were nothing short of exceptional. Each meal was a delightful feast for the senses, featuring a fusion of local flavors and international cuisine. The chefs truly outdid themselves, and I found myself eagerly anticipating each meal. Dining amidst the stunning backdrop of the lagoon and the lush greenery only added to the overall experience, making it a truly unforgettable gastronomic journey. The view and nature at Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort were simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear turquoise waters of the lagoon, dotted with overwater bungalows, created a mesmerizing panorama. The resort's location on a private island ensured a peaceful and serene atmosphere, providing ample opportunities to immerse myself in the beauty of nature. Whether it was lounging on the beach or exploring the island's tropical foliage, every moment was an escape into paradise. Above all, the resort offered the perfect environment to relax and unwind. I spent my days lounging by the pool, indulging in spa treatments, and taking leisurely strolls along the shore. It was an oasis of tranquility where I could forget about the outside world and simply revel in the beauty and luxury that surrounded me. Without a doubt, Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort is a slice of heaven on earth, and I can't wait to return for another rejuvenating and blissful getaway.

They are all amazing and I thank them all for their hard work and welcoming attitude. The water temperature is perfect for swimming and the lagoon is amazing to swim in, explore in various ways through kayaking, snorkeling or whatever you like.

    Ummm… nothing. Not one single issue whatsoever. Like others have said, leaving was bad!

    The location is the best in Aitutaki for swimming and snorkelling. It seems to be the only resort that has deeper water for swimming. The snorkelling is ok but the best snorkelling in aitutaki is a boat trip away. I loved that we had our own bikes and stand up paddle boards and kayaks. The food was excellent and for variety it’s easy to go to other food outlets. The menu has some variation each day. Prices are so reasonable compared to other pacific locations. You can paddle over to a private island for a picnic. The scooter rental is walking distance. Honestly you couldn’t ask for more. We stayed in the overwater bungalow as it was a special occasion for us but the beachfront bungalows are brilliant too. One thing that was amazing is we had a family issue at home that required some support, the staff made us feel like whanau and went above and beyond.

    There was a lot of work going on during our stay with the alterations and additions which turned the facility into a bit of dis organisation's and I don't mean the staff, they were excellent. Once the upgrades are complete I imagine this will be an exceptional world class resort, the location speaks for itself. Look forward to returning to see the resort complete and in full glory. Just hope it is not priced out of reach as a result.

    Stunning location on the lagoon. Upgraded to beachfront room with top shelf view through the palms and over the lagoon.
