Kia Orana, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort. We truly appreciate your perspective as it allows us to continually improve our services.We are delighted to hear that you found the view from our resort stunning. Providing our guests with a picturesque and serene environment is one of our top priorities, and we're thrilled that we were able to meet your expectations in this regard.However, we are deeply concerned to learn about the issue you encountered with the cleanliness of your bedsheets. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. Rest assured; we have addressed this matter with our housekeeping team to ensure that such oversights do not occur in the future. Maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort for our guests is paramount to us.Regarding the Wi-Fi service, we understand that connectivity is essential for many of our guests, and we apologize if our current policy did not meet your expectations. Aitutaki is a small tropical island in the middle of the vast South Pacific Ocean with a small population and only one telecommunications company, Wi-Fi is considerably more expensive than in a large metropolitan country with a competitive telecommunications market.

Wi-fi rates are: 05.00Gb – 10 Days – NZ20.00, 07.50Gb – 14 Days – NZ30.00, and 13.00Gb – 20 Days – NZ50.00.We continuously review our amenities and services to ensure they align with the evolving needs of our guests, and your feedback will be taken into consideration as we strive to enhance our offerings.Once again, we appreciate your valuable feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort in the future.Kia Manuia, Greg Long, General Manager.

Beautiful location, great amenities. However the service at the restaurant/bar was horrible. At times, we were the only couple in the area, yet we had to wait long times, even had to go up to the bar to get a drink or order food. Seemed like staff were not interested in serving, yet only one or two couples present. Also it was my wife's 60th bday dinner, and the meal was ruined, could not eat, yet was still expected to pay for it.

This resort is in a perfect spot on the Aitutaki lagoon. It's truly as lovely as it looks in the photos. The facilities are limited but OK. The food was excellent for such a remote location. Correction: The food was excellent fullstop, and varied enough for a week of memorable meals. But: maintenance is an issue, and some of the problems clearly predate Covid. It's just not right to have flyscreens falling to bits and 20 year old, defective aluminium ranchsliders in an overwater bungalow costing a Grand a night. Who are you competing with? A motel in Invercargill NZ, or rural Manitoba? And then there is construction which isn't just ugly, it makes access to the iconic sandspit difficult. Most of the rubbish and discarded building materials could be cleaned up in an afternoon- so why was it all unchanged after a week? I'd very much like to come back... after these issues are fixed.

Active contruction zone with loud noises throughout day, evenings, and weekends, and with construction hazards spread throughout resort. Damaged "ghost units" falling apart near reception. Poor lighting on property makes walking at night dangerous unless using smartphone flashlight. Minimal proper amenities ti account for rainy days. Some kayaks sank during lagoon rides on resort; insufficient life vests. Food options limited and cooked breakfasts unsavory. I would highly commend going off property to nearby restaurant called Boat Shed for meals instead of this resort unless it is for the venue once construction ceases. This resort has all the potential to be excellent in their location with beautiful views of Aitutaki lagoon and the only overwater bungalows in Cook Islands. I believe management needs to shut down resort and complete renovations prior to welcoming new guests. We received no warning of construction prior to arrival from resort or from Expedia, and Expedia did not list property as an active renovation/construction site as they normally do for other properties in this situation. No compensation proposed or offered by property for inconveniences of construction.

Regarding the damaged "ghost units" near our reception area, these are not damaged units. They were relocated from their original position and are awaiting reconnection. The delay of the ship meant work had to halt meantime before work could commence and thereafter can be put back into inventory. We understand that lighting on the property needs improvement, particularly for night walks. We are pleased to advise the lighting has arrived and will be installed prior to reopening.While we strive to provide a wide range of amenities for our guests, we understand that our offerings may have been limited during your stay due to us completing upgrades.

Felt the resort was understaffed and the staff were over worked. Would have liked a heads up about the reno, dont mind improvements but would have liked to know. Our room service got missed two days and it was obvious that there was a conflict of personalities with room service staff, had one crying on my shoulder. The speed of service was slow with meals at restaurant but this was clear with a new chef and not enough staff on. Thank you for trying to make our honeymoon birthday celebrations special.

We absolutely loved our stay in the overwater bungalows. I was worried about the outside showers, but even when it rained it was fine. The shampoo and condition was also great quality. The food in the restaurant was divine and the drinks were yummy. Highly recommend the ika mata and the drink that comes in the fish bowl! Honestly, the best thing about this place is the people who work here. Sarah ensured my gluten free meals were always perfect and helped wherever she could. I was even spoilt for my birthday. Jennifer dealt with any needs we had for the room and followed up to ensure it was all perfect. Mere gave a wonderful massage. Wise kept us well fed and watered in the restaurant. Plus too many other staff to mention, who were all part of an amazing time. We felt like part of their family. Whilst there is construction underway, we weren’t really impacted. We would love to come back and see it when it is complete. The noise was local to where they worked, but it was always safe and kept clean around. The pool is a little old, but we didn’t care as we always had somewhere to swim in the ocean. The bikes provided gave us an easy way to get around (when other guests didn’t “acquire” then). Thanks so much for looking after us so well. We arrive exhausted and left exhilarated.

Book it now!
The place is breathtaking! We loved it, staff are super friendly and accomodating. The food is really good as well. There are kayaks, paddle boards, basic snorkeling gear and bikes available for each guest. They don’t accept kids (sad for them) but if you are going for a couple retreat or solo is amazing. There are no shops near by so prepare for that. Another perk is the transport from and to the airport quite handy! On the other side because obviously there are areas for improvement: There are parts of the island that are not well kept but they matter less once you open the doors to the lagoon and there is construction happening so the reception is in the bar but no major inconvenience.
