Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you’re just looking for a clean, decent, and convenient place to stay for 1-2 nights, I highly recommend this place. We landed around 11:30 pm, this hotel is very close to the airport (walkable). We stayed here at the front and back ends of our trip as we spent the majority of the trip in Aitutaki. We would stay here again. The restaurant had great food and drinks. I even got a wonderful massage for a great price here. They also have free WiFi. WiFi is hard to find on the island unless you purchase a Vodafone plan or pay for resort’s data plans.

Great spot to stay right on the ocean. It was really convenient because our flight landed late and we were able to just walk across the street to the hotel and were kindly greeted by the night staff that checked us in. I would definitely stay here again!
