I had the most wonderful time in Aitutaki staying at the Etu Moana bungalow #5. I was one of the very few single travelers there, but Jo-Anne, the girls and her husband Jim made my stay the most perfect experience I ever had.
The bungalows are just wonderful, spacious and the bathroom is just too good to be true. I especially liked the outdoor shower. Another great feature is the terrace lounge where I spent the evenings reading.
The breakfast is very personal and good, the ambiance of the whole property is very comfortable and there are a lot of activities to choose from.
Plan your stay longer on Aitutaki then on Rarotonga - just a personal advice ;-)

Etu Moana is truly a lovely hotel. The staff are brilliant and the owners are truly lovely. The rooms are clean and spacious with great facilities. Be aware Aitutaki suffers badly from Mosquitoes day & night. Take plenty of spray and do not stay on any of the outer islands as you will get eaten alive!!!!

We spent a week in Villa 1 at Etu Moana, and loved every second of it. The villas are perfectly designed and well-kept, with lots of thoughtful details and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the shower. It's great - sometimes bathrooms leave much to be desired in overseas hotels.

Jim and Jo, the owners, are the best. In fact, all of the staff members were considerate, very helpful, and extremely pleasant. They helped us make reservations for dinner each night and recommended lots of fun things to do. They really know the ins and outs of the island and make your stay easy and comfortable.

They cultivate a friendly community atmosphere - other travellers at Etu Moana were outgoing and fun to be around. The beach in front is great, and you can hop into a complimentary kayak and roam around the coral reef in the water. There's even fairly good snorkeling in the area (snorkeling equipment is also provided).

We found the whole experience relaxing, pampering, and just perfect for a secluded getaway on the other side of the world. We also visited or stayed at other properties on Aitutaki, and I can tell you without a doubt, you won't find anywhere better than Etu Moana! We would definitely recommend Etu Moana to anyone.

What can i say , all these reveiws can not be wrong , i remember reading them all thinking how can it be that good!When you get here it is truely amazing better than any review can descibe.
The hosts Jim and Jo are attentive but not intrusive , the island is so lovely , hire a scooter from reception to get around the island epecially for lunch and dinner , try the island night at pacific resort (just down the road , we bike rided there & back,) which was very good , The diving was excellent at bubbles below, the lagoon boat tour also excellent (go to see Shark island of the shiprecked programme.) TOPTIP! you need super strengh mozzi stuff
