    This hotel offers great value for money, allowing you to enjoy a paradise-like experience without breaking the bank. The location at the upper Aitutaki lagoon, past the airport at the end of the road, provides stunning views with cloudy turquoise waters. The rooms, with their ensuite bathrooms, offer a beautiful view that is definitely worth it. Additionally, the free transfers from the airport and the option to rent a scooter on-site make your stay convenient and hassle-free.

    No major issues, everything was just perfect!

    The staff was really helpful and top-class. The location was unbeatable - just 5 minutes' walk from a white sand beach. Plus, it was really close to 2 restaurants, and tropical island vibes.

    The hotel surpassed our expectations with its attention to detail and excellent service. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all the necessary facilities, including ensuit bathrooms. We especially loved the location, which was at the end of the road in the upper Aitutaki lagoon, offering breathtaking views of the cloudy water. The value for money was exceptional, making our stay truly worth it.

    I had the best time at this hotel. The location is unbeatable as it is a short walk away from a couple of restaurants and cafes. Additionally, the hotel is perfectly situated as it is right on the beach, which allowed me to enjoy the beautiful view of the turquoise water and coconut trees. The hotel facilities, including the pool and the kayaks, made my stay even more enjoyable. Moreover, the staff were very helpful, offering free transfers from the airport and providing me with useful tips for exploring this city.

    Nothing at all.

    We had a wonderful 14-day stay in Arutanga. The budget rooms were tidy and had a nice bathroom, as well as an outdoor shower option. The property is located near fantastic bars and restaurants, and the area is quiet and pleasant.

    The place was close to the airport and had free kayaks available which was nice. The pool area had a great view and was enjoyable. the location was safe and there was a nearby restaurant/bar that was easy to get to.

    The overall aesthetic of the hotel was run-down and the kayaks and scooters that were offered were mostly broken. The hotel also lacked proper lighting and had a mosquito problem.

    The complimentary drinks and the cookies were a nice touch. the location was great, with stunning views and easy access to nearby restaurants. the kayaks were also fun to use.

    The staff was rude and unaccommodating, making us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.
