We got greeted at airport with lovely fresh flower Leis and transported back to hotel both ways, included in price. We stayed in lagoon view room 3. The food onsite restaurant was nice and prices were reasonable. People came from other resorts to eat at Tava’e restaurant. We didn’t use the pool’s as a little chilly in June. The sea was much much warmer. There was water equipment to use, paddle boards, kayaks etc with dedicated person to look after you all day. Island night was nice too. $80 for the smorgasbord with a small dance show afterwards. This place has everything you need here.

Nearly new, modern resort. Beachfront room was perfect as was the beach. Snorkelling off the beach was good too. Biggest gripe was the continental breakfast. Not much for $900 per night. Nice extra was being able to rent a scooter for the day for $30. Would return for sure.

All I can say is don't hesitate to book. We loved Aitutaki and this resort. I wish we stayed longer.... Our room was lovely as this resort is newer. The staff was outstanding. The beach was second to none and was never crowded. The restaurant was awesome with great service by John and Tharuru. The Polynesian show and island buffet was so fun and the food truly excellent. Front desk staff Tutu was so pleasant to work with. I would not hesitate to book again!!

The accommodation was clean and well presented, the meals we had there were tasty and good value. Disappointment was finding out when we arrived that both pools were unusable (Lime Green - no chemicals). It would be easy to notify the guests pre arrival or at arrival and perhaps offer a complimentary cocktail or similar.

We loved to beach area, however what dampened oyr visit was we could not arrange a late checkout. We were the only guests leaving on at 1.oo pm and checkin is 3 pm for any new quests. We have to wait outside filor 3 hours to get to airport with other place to go. Also they shut wifi off immediately at 10.30 so we couldnt contact any one. Believe no need for that.

This resort is outstanding, from the excellent rooms to the amazing staff, nothing could be faulted. The room was large for four adults, clean and in beautiful condition. The resort itself has two beautiful pools and is right on the beachfront, so very easy to do whatever you want. Snorkeling right off the beach - bring some aqua socks. Amazing - 10 out of 10 for sure.

My first time in Aitutaki and I booked 3 nights at Resort Tava'e. I loved this resort. Staff were excellent! They organised pick up and drop off to the airport which was free. The two rooms were placed next to each other which was perfect for us. The set up of the room was relaxing, with a small couch in front of the bed, a massive TV infront of the couch, a little kitchen with microwave, hot plate with frying pan, a pot, toaster, jug, and a good size fridge. The bathroom is massive, I loved the double shower. The room has air con split system with a fan above the bed/couch. Our rooms were 14 & 15 so our view was of the double pools and if you were lucky you could see a little of the ocean. They have an ice machine near reception and their water is drinkable from the tap. Biggest highlight for my daughter was unlimited wifi which was perfect for downtime at night. They do have a restaurant with great food and a beautiful view of the water. I look forward to going back to Aitutaki and staying at Resort Tava'e.
