The closeness to the lagoon and having a pool at our front door. The views and easiness to walk around the beaches and to some local restaurants. The staff were delightful and helpful. So quiet no noises and cute hens and chickens coming up to greet you on your verandah!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Aitutaki Private Lagoon Resort. The resort itself was stunning, but it was the exceptional service from the hotel staff that made our experience truly memorable. A special thanks to Jennifer for her warmth and attentiveness, and to Wise, Mera, and Pati for their outstanding hospitality. The restaurant staff also deserves praise for their ambient personalities and excellent service. Every detail was handled with remarkable care. Thank you for making our time here so special!

We were met at the airport and taken to the property which is right beside the hosts' home so they were there if we needed anything. The bungalow is very spacious and beautifully presented with a great kitchen, fresh drinking water, a bowl of fruit, bathroom has a huge shower, bed extremely comfy. Louvre windows provide a welcome breeze and there is also an air conditioner if needed. The crowning glory is the large covered veranda with comfy chairs and beautiful plants. The hosts were so welcoming and they clearly take pride in their gorgeous property. Easy walking distance to explore the local shops and eateries. We didn't have a car for the 2 days we were here and so made the most of exploring the area by foot.

Boasting beautiful sea or garden views from your private verandah, Tamanu Beach features a beachfront restaurant and bar and a private beach area.

This bungalow is beautiful. Met by T at the airport but we highly recommend renting a car( Rinos very cheap), shown to our gorgeous bungalow on the beach. Aircon, fridge, full kitchen, awesome shower, perfect views!

We really enjoyed our stay here, prime real estate right on the beach but without the hefty resort price tag. Great swimming in front of the huts at all tides, you don't need booties as there's lots of sand to stand on. You can see some coral and fish although not a huge amount. Snorkelling off the beach at Rarotonga itself (outside the Rarotongan resort) is better than off the beach at Aitutaki and the water is clearer. However the boat trip with Matthias had amazing snorkelling with crystal clear water and rays, moray eels, turtles, giant trevally and many other fish beautiful coral and giant clams, a must do! The free bikes were great and functioned well, we had fun tripping around the island on these with our stuff in the baskets. You can bike to the bottom of the nearby lookout walkway and then walk up for great views. Food wise we biked to the WokKai a couple of times, good for cheap Asian. One night we walked along the beach to Tava'e restaurant which was delicious quality food and generous portions for about NZD $30 for a main. Matthias was a great host and we enjoyed his laid back style on the boat trip. Overall we really loved Aitutaki - a real relaxed holiday place with plenty to do

Staying at Tai Roto Bay was the perfect addition to our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Aitutaki. Cheran and her family made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their attention to detail and thoughtful touches elevated our experience beyond expectations. The six bungalows are exactly as stunning as they appear in photos, set around a crystal-clear blue lagoon that’s simply breathtaking. Although we were initially concerned about the proximity to the airport, it ended up being no issue at all—it’s a peaceful, quiet spot. We loved the warm and welcoming airport transfers, which made our arrival stress-free. The beautifully appointed rooms were comfortable, and the well-equipped kitchen was a bonus for making homemade meals when we didn’t feel like eating out. Having an on-site scooter hire was fantastic—we were off exploring the island within minutes of landing! Cheran and her family gave us excellent recommendations for food, drinks, and activities, and they were always available to answer our questions with a smile. The bungalows were well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We left Tai Roto Bay with full hearts, feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. We can’t wait to return and will be recommending this beautiful boutique accommodation to anyone visiting the Cook Islands.

Located in the Ureia Village, Paparei Beachfront Bungalows, Aitutaki offers beach-side accommodation with free airport transfers.
