Dylan was great. He helped us organise to go kite surfing, renting a scooter and picked us uo from the airport and took us back. He was always available to help.
The view from the sunbeds was beautiful. Nice sandy beach.
Great to have free kayaks and a swimming pool. Filtered water tap to fill up on water.
Scooter rental on site so very easy to organise. Books available in reception.
Bishop's boat cruise and vaka cruise in walking distance.
2 restaurants and one cafe all in walking distance too.
Located in the Ureia Village, Paparei Beachfront Bungalows, Aitutaki offers beach-side accommodation with free airport transfers.

Paparei is a lovely low key friendly convenient and very scenic and pleasant location. My favourite things were sitting on the deck watching the heron stalking fish, the chickens clucking around and the locals coming down to enjoy the water. I also enjoyed the antics of the common mynas even though the are an introduced species they are very charismatic. I also loved the adjacent Cafe Wokkai! 2 minutes to fish and chips I could bring back to eat on the deck?! Yes please!!

Exclusively situated on its own private island, this luxury resort offers the only overwater bungalows in the Cook Islands, offering prime views of Aitutaki Lagoon, one of the world’s most beautiful...

Aitutaki Lagoon Resort is absolutely incredible. It exceeded our expectations in so many ways. The food, the drinks, prices are very reasonable, the accommodation is luxury (we stayed in an Overwater bungalow for 3 nights and a beachside bungalow for 1). The people there are beautiful and made us feel very welcome. The resort itself is incredible and has everything you need, including kayaks, SUP, snorkel gear, bikes. We had the best time here and will be coming back and would recommend it to anyone.
Set in Amuri, a few steps from Aitutaki Beach, Resort Tava'e offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

Facilities, breakfast and location were perfect 👌. Staff went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed including organizing tours, fishing trip and scooters. Can't recommend highly enough.
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.
Beautiful hotel. loved the layout of the room, great for families with a separate bedroom, lounge area and day beds. Pool is beautiful with nice mountain view. Breakfast inclusions was amazing - hot food included. Island night buffet and show was great!. Beach is beautiful, could watch the sunset. Staff at the front desk were amazing and very helpful trying to help reorganize a day trip on a rainy day.
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.
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
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.
Beautiful gardens surrounding the hotel.
We needed a place to stay for one night before checking into another hotel. The location is great, right by the beach. The dinner we had at the Restaurant was very good.
Location! Beach front on the lagoon perfect for snorkelling, kayak, SUP etc. Hotel has free bicycles and cheap rates to hire moped direct from the hotel.
