More bench space or cupboard availability in bathroom.

Breakfast was ok for the area. The location by the lagoon with fish jumping around was brilliant.

The beach is on the inner lagoon so a bit murky and shallow. You can't really snorkel there but there are bone fish. I would prefer staying on the outer reef side so that I could just hop in the water for snorkeling.

The villas are great and well furnished kitchen. We cooked many times. And they provide a lovely breakfast. They arranged everything to/from the airport which was easy. We walked nearby to rent a car and could walk to a couple places to eat (the Boat Shed and Koru cafe are both very good). They also have bikes and kayaks to use.

The only thing I would recommend is to upgrade the bikes available to guests.

Everything. A lovely location, beautiful staff and owner. A real boutique feel. Personal and friendly. Extremely clean room, well-kept gardens. Awesome continental breakfast delivered with a smile.

No faults

We were picked up on arrirval by Cheran She greeted us and our short ride to Tai Roto she told us all the info we needed to know about our stay. The grounds there are Immaculate, beautiful gardens and breath taking views of the lagoon. Our room was perfect, the bed and pillows were so comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful right down to the vanity. Staff there were all so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious.

Rooms and breakfasts were very "tropical island" style, which was done well. there was a depression like a "50 meter lap pool" in front of the villas in the lagoon that enabled one to swim whatever the tide. This suited us as would snorkel at Base 1 or near large resorts close to high tide, and swim at any time at Tai Roto. very relaxing eating or reading on the verandah of villa. We mainly self catered.

The sand flies - but they loved us. Take some repellant

Cheran and her mum, were super hosts and managers of the Tai Roto Bay Resort. We were greeted at the airport with big smiles and beautiful personalities. Arriving at our beachfront villa took our breath away at the sight of the lagoon right out front. Welcome to Paradise. Villas was gorgeous, clean and bed super comfy with a yummy breakfast delivered daily and very private. Great local cafes and restaurants within walking distance.

Cheran met us at the airport and made us feel so welcome from the start and was so helpful in recommending restaurants and booking them for us. The property is absolutely lovely with beautiful stand alone villas in a pretty garden setting with private lagoon. The villa was modern, spacious and well fitted out with everything including full kitchen facilities. A fabulous breakfast was provided and delivered to the villa each day including fresh fruit, yoghurt, muesli, bread, jams etc and on the weekends there was also eggs, bacon and sausages provided. There were kayaks to use free of charge and scooters for hire which was so useful.

Free bikes to hire were poorly maintained and Had very hard seats which, if you haven’t ridden a bike for a while, were not comfortable!

Lovely spacious room. Very clean. Very quiet. Lovely continental breakfast delivered to the room every morning. Brand new scooters to hire. All tide swimming at the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and cafe.

Tai Roto Bay! What can I say? A beautiful slice of paradise We just spent 5 amazing days here, weather was not on our side but that did not deter us at all. We had our own private beach with just a small hand full of people. Staff were the most beautiful people who went over and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Cannot wait to come back

Tai Roto Bay is heaven on earth!!! Perfectly located on a beautiful lagoon, each self contained room is very private with a wonderful view of either the lagoon , garden or both. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful. Cheran was very helpful in booking excursions and scooters. She and her family were helpful with anything we needed. She booked us with Charlie on a private whale watching excursion and it was amazing!!!!!! The resort if perfectly located walking distance to restaurants. We would definitely stay again.

Cheran the manager was very pleasant and helpful. The location was very nice with beautiful view of the lagoon. Short walk to several restaurants and the Aitutaki Private Resort for coffee or dining with a great view.

Nothing , other than it’s a good idea to have some form of transport anywhere on the island.

Immaculate gardens.Added beauty as well as a little cover between bungalows. Close to a couple food places and cafe. Great swimming area nice and deep. Wonderful friendly staff. Nothing was too difficult. Very approachable. In house mopeds for hire. Great spacious bungalow that was comfortable enough for three people with an extra cot. Beautiful breakfast.

A wonderful place set in a private beach. It seems to be in paradise.

Our villa did not have air-conditioning (the proprietor's website explains this, but the entry in booking.com does not make this clear) and the ceiling fan was underpowered. We were OK but in hotter weather it might be pretty uncomfortable at night. We booked a lagoon cruise with the office but were not warned that the cruise operator (Kia Orana) would want cash payment on the boat before bringing us back to shore (fortunately we had taken enough cash with us but it could have been rather awkward). It would have been useful to have a dishbrush and scouring pad provided in the kitchen, especially as the weekend breakfast (which you have to cook yourself) included eggs, and the pots were quite hard to get clean without either. The staff are not on site from 1.30pm on Friday until Monday morning.

Nice spacious villa with deck. The gardens are beautiful and each villa is very private from the others. Great that it is adults only - very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed being able to hire a nice new scooter from the proprietors for a whole week at a very reasonable rate - it is the perfect way to get about the island and to be able to pick up supplies and visit restaurants and beaches. We were pleased to have a proper kitchen in the villa and the fittings and decor from recent refurbishing are very nice. The mosquito netting on all windows and the door was in good condition with no gaps. The bed was comfortable. Good to have free use of bicycles and kayaks. The two restaurants and cafe within walking distance are very nice and convenient. Everyone is very friendly.

We didn't stay long enough and we were there for a week.

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.

This family run business is a gem, from the moment you arrive you are treated as family. Excellent quiet beautiful location, with great swimming. Walking distance to great places to eat. The daily breakfast delivered to your room were beautiful. Highly recommended.

Stayed in April 2023

Not many options for dinner if you don’t have a scooter or car but the Villa has a kitchen so you can cook for yourself. The property is just a little far from everything but we didn’t mind as we biked everywhere, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet.

We loved our stay at Tai Roto Bay. Very tidy place with friendly helpful staff, cute cats, water was crazy warm and always calm and the beach was private. Having access to kayaks, bikes, paddle boards was epic. The daily breakfast was awesome! We would happily come back and definitely recommend.
