We stayed only one night before our accommodations were ready. Arriving at almost midnight, we found them ready for us, friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and most of all cool. Breakfast the next morning was stellar. We slept well, had a wonderful breakfast and were ready to start the day!

If you’re just looking for a clean, decent, and convenient place to stay for 1-2 nights, I highly recommend this place. We landed around 11:30 pm, this hotel is very close to the airport (walkable). We stayed here at the front and back ends of our trip as we spent the majority of the trip in Aitutaki. We would stay here again. The restaurant had great food and drinks. I even got a wonderful massage for a great price here. They also have free WiFi. WiFi is hard to find on the island unless you purchase a Vodafone plan or pay for resort’s data plans.
