Our booking was very last minute so we really appreciated the immediate response to our request. Airport pickup/drop off was so well received by us both. Took the stress off us to organize. We were not expecting to hire a car but we did with the help from staff who arranged everything for us. We were spoilt. Our room met our needs but our beachfront access was the absolute picture perfect paradise.

Fabulous location and the hosts were always around to answer any questions and give helpful advice. Well set up accommodation with beautiful outlook and we could walk to several lovely local restaurants and supermarkets. There are no dogs on Aitutaki which is a pleasant relief, however there are friendly cats. The snorkelling is fantastic especially on the lagoon cruise.

Absolutely beautiful!
Kura, the owner, greeted us at the Aitutaki airport with a beautiful lei of flowers, gave us a drive around the island. Our cabin was perfect- with the added delights of fresh pineapples & coconuts. So comfortable, close to food outlets, a washing machine. One of the loveliest places we've stayed in. 🌺
Highly recommend.

The location is breath-taking. The bungalow is beautifully clean and comfortable with everything you can possibly need. Nothing is too much trouble for host - Niki - taking care of airport transfers and even a town tour upon arrival. Fantastic takeaway right next door together with convenience store.

Right at the beautiful beach with amazing snorkeling, very quiet, amazing sunsets, close to the shops, right next to the Tamanu beach with the island show, close to the Pacific resort.
We stayed in the garden unit which has private bathroom and toilet- great. Little sitting outside was nice too.
Free bikes ( they are little rusty but do the job) to ride around the island which I recommend, we’ve seen the whole island and sweat a little bit as a bonus!
The lagoon cruise with Matthias was without the doubt the best think that is happening on that island!!! Worth every dollar ($150 pp). Not just that he takes you around the lagoon where all the other boats go too, but he also took us to see the outer reef which was the best part- so much life (lots of turtles, rays, colorful corals, milion fish). We had lunch at honeymoon island with a little walk around- Matthias is very knowlegable and since he lives on the island for 30 years he knows what he is talking about- so interesting!
We met other cruise with like 50 people at the one foot island and we were just sooo happy to be in small group of 5!!!

Location was perfect, restaurant just out the front and in the heart of town.

Very clean. We were fortunate enough to have no neighbours which also meant we could use the pool privately. The grounds and surrounding area were very clean and tidy.. Our hosts were beautiful and friendly and they went above and beyond. We had the free use of a scooter to tour around the island and they came and picked us up from the airport and returned us. Absolutely beautiful property. You had everything we needed. It was our 30th wedding anniversary, the wine and nuts were much appreciated. We had the continental breakfast each morning, mix of fruit, bread, cereal and pastries. We loved our stay and will be back. Thank you.
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.
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.
Location close to the airport and other posher hotels, beachfront basic villa with everything we needed.
Yummy delicious breakfast delivered to the door, airport transfers.
The staff even cleaned the beachfront, more than some of the others do!
Nice friendly host. Couldn't fault the place.
Would definitely stay there again.
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!
The property is one of a kind! Aitutaki Village gives you amazing access to its private lagoon, and the hosts Jane and Robin were wonderful guides to the island. The location is peaceful, yet easy to access all the best parts of Aitutaki. We loved our stay!
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.
Amazing hotel. The island is like a postcard, beautiful! Everything was excellent and made our stay unforgettable. Staff was very helpful, food was deliciuos, and the views were breathtaing. We will come there again in the future.
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.
Very quiet and peaceful place to stay. So close to the sea and can relax on the beach whenever you want. Tearoa is very nice host and she helped me to send the thing I left at Aitutaki. Thanks so much.
This was a beautiful property with the best swimming location in all aitutaki. The deluxe rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The bike, kayaks and paddle board in room were fantastic
Wonderful staff more than happy to help! You can tell how much the family run business takes pride in their hotel. Great location! Loved the cultural night presented by the locals.
Aitutaki Village was incredibly beautiful and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. We loved every minute and will be back as soon as we can. The location is perfect!
Loved the location and hotel in Aitutaki. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming, always happy to see us and give advice.
