Kura met us at the airport on arrival with eis (flower garland) and was very friendly, before we arrived at the accommodation, she offered to take us to the shop, there was fruit and water waiting there for us, she was very accommodating, the shower has good pressure and the air-conditioning was welcomed after the day spent at the motu, I highly recommend her place, it felt like we were at home, we will definitely be back, thank you Kura

Sunny Beach Lodge, hotel in Arutanga

Situated in Amuri in the Aitutaki region and Aitutaki Beach reachable within 800 metres, Sunny Beach Lodge features accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking.

The property was right on the beach where we got to enjoy beautiful sunsets. Well thought out good large clean space that was well equipped. Kayaks on the property if you like that. Nikki was lovely picking us up from the airport taking us to our car rental place, showing us where petrol and food places were then dropping us back at the airport on the day we left. He organised our lagoon cruise for us with a local which was amazing. Nothing was too much bother for him. We stayed one night in the lodge one in the beachside cabin. We preferred the cabin as it had aircon and a hose outside to wash our feet.

Sunny Beach Bungalows - Aitutaki, hotel in Arutanga

Located in Amuri, 800 metres from Aitutaki Beach, Sunny Beach Bungalows - Aitutaki provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and barbecue facilities.

Fabulous beach front setting. Great deck area for morning breakfasts and drying gear. Loved taking the complimentary kayaks out on the lagoon to see all the different fish. Short walk to several good local takeaways or down the beach to the flash resort for cocktails or upmarket dinner. Airport pickup and drop off really appreciated. Scooter hire also arranged and dropped off at bungalow which was appreciated. We were really pleased we picked Sunny Beach Bungalows for our stay.

    The weather was not the best, so hampered our judgement.

    The weather was not the best, so hampered our judgement. The people were very nice and we were very pleased to have a rental car with Aircon, so we covered the whole island on driving adventures! However, it would be more convenient if the car hire places were at the airport, and/or they would work in more closely with the plane arrivals and departures (We had to wait 2 hours for our plane because the company dropped us there at 5pm, which is the latest they will work...) The two cafes (Avatea & Koru), and the Pacific resort, were excellent!

    Include a walk around the island to get the feel of its fabulous location. We put the ambience before our food expectations - breakfasts were generous, lunches were our most enjoyed and the dinners relaxing with Thursday happy hour, local musicians playing and the location adding to a great holiday. A great Resort particularly suitable for young couples with as much or as little activity available as one could wish for.

    The island of Aitutaki is not for everyone.

    The island of Aitutaki is not for everyone. There are no fancy shops or malls and limited deluxe restaurants. It is a place to get away from the busy life and enjoy peace and quiet. Walking the beaches and swimming are the main attractions.

    Requests were not always met. Mostly closed on Island. restaurants would not allow us to book for dinner, they informed they were booked out. Couldn't get on excursions as they were saving them for a cruise ship. Waste of time going there.

    Beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea surrounded and protected by a reef. Great location for those amazing South Pacific sunsets. There is no public transport so would highly recommend hiring a scooter or car unless you are in a hotel that caters for your every need and you don't want to explore the island.

    Awesome Island and people; great food and easy living. Hated to leave. Untouched island. Hope they preserve their way of life for years to come. "Enjoy your visit in Aitutaki and don't forget to leave".

    Overall the whole stay was great. Big shout to Maine and all the Paradise cove stuff for getting things done and being so accommodating and helping with all our queries and requests. The hotel's location is excellent, and the beach is cleaned regularly. The included breakfast is absolutely fantastic and generous. You will definitely find more fancy and luxurious places down the road, but you can hardly beat Paradise cove's value for money.

    The location is amazing, the room offer is really good and easy access to kayaks, bicycles etc- very self contained. The staff is friendly and try to give you the best experience, they all remember your name. The hotel is very quiet and tranquil and also located in a really good area of the lagoon. There’s a great local restaurant nearby and easy access to the main road for a bike ride. Aitutaki is beautiful and definitely worth the stay.

    Tai Roto is steps away from a gorgeous bay in the lagoon surrounding Aitutaki. The staff are friendly and helpful and warm. The breakfast is a tropical delight and delivered to your bungalow each day so you wake up to coffee, fruit, cereal, yogurt and other treats. I would highly recommend this property for a stay in Aitutaki.

    Well maintained traditional island style resort with two pools and a good restaurant. Bures are of a high standard and are very well maintained. The beds are comfortable. The front desk can book activities etc - a lagoon snorkelling trip is really a must. The Aitutaki Lagoon really is sublime!

    Good location with a nice beach, nice, clean and cozy huts with everything you need. Lagoon tour was really good. You could walk along the beach to restaurants of nearby hotels in case you didn't want to cook. Free bikes were great to explore the island.
