My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here. James picked us up from the airport and was incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome right away.

Once we arrived at the hotel, Trevor took excellent care of us and was very helpful in booking our tours. The restaurant staff was also exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout our stay.

We had a wonderful experience and are already looking forward to returning!

Pacific Resort was the perfect escape from our busy lives. Spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained gardens and property, we felt at ease from the moment we were greeted at the airport with freshly made floral leis. The food and wine list were well considered and varied, we dined within the resort for 5 nights without feeling the need to go eat elsewhere. It was quiet, tranquil, the pool was immaculate and inviting, and we appreciated the use of snorkels and kayaks for the week. The snorkeling in the lagoon right out from our Bure was a highlight for us. As a parting gift to ourselves for our wedding anniversary was a couples massage on our final morning as we waited for our airport transfer. The Spa ladies did a wonderful job. A special thank you to the restaurant staff who looked after us all week, and for the amazing flowers on our anniversary dinner. We cannot recommend this more highly, if you are looking for utter relaxation in a very unique part of the world.

Nespresso machine in the room and bottles of filtered water refill it every day. Beautiful furniture in the room. Perfect garden all around the property. Snorkelling equipment and canoes included amenities. Free WiFi. Restaurant with view over the Reef. Reef area is one of the best of the island.

Aggressive bartender kicked a chicken to death during happy hour. In front of guests!
Truly shocking animal cruelty experience in this 5 star hotel.
It totally ruined our stay. Never ever paid so much per night for a stay in a hotel. For this! And it was supposed to be a celebration for us.
Took our responsibility and contacted the manager who was gonna have a ‘chat’ with this person.
No follow up towards us so far. He assured us they were animal lovers and that this had never happened before. That they fed the animals in the staff camp..
When someone is capable of demonstrating such cruelties towards animals in front of a full terrace of guests, you might wonder what happens in this staff camp…in Australia you would pay huge fines and go to prison.

We stayed at the Pacific resort from 2nd to 5th of October. We were picked up at the airport by James who organised us and all of our bags onto the shuttle bus for the short ride to our accommodation. He was cheerful and very helpful and informative from greeting us at the airport, right up until we were taken to our room. The staff at the resort were all very kind, helpful, patient and friendly. The food was lovely, and we particularly liked the changeable \"menu of the day\", as it offered different options, especially for those staying a while. Rooms were comfortable, clean and had all the amenities expected of a luxury resort, and was finished in a Polynesian style which was nicely decorated and furnished. The resort is a little pricey, but for a special occasion in paradise is worth saving up for. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay any longer.

Island Paradise

This hotel is absolutely incredible. The location, landscaping, and the staff are unparalleled. We were there for our honeymoon and were blown away. Daily breakfast was included, and was fantastic. Try the fish Benny!
I was able to do a e’i (flower crown) making class to wear to Island Night, which was a lot of fun.
Great snorkelling in front of the hotel too.
All in all, Aitutaki was one of the most incredible places we’ve seen!

An intimate, friendly resort

We stayed here for 6 nights, the level of service from the airport pickup onwards was exemplary.
With less than 100 guests the resort feels private, the staff know your names and you get the feeling that nothing is too much trouble.
The beachfront access straight from
the room made the stay extra special. We would have no hesitation in going back.

We went for our honeymoon and loved our spacious bungalow with its own private deck and beach chairs down below.

We were most surprised at how good the food was. In fact, we ate breakfast and dinner there everyday. Everything was very tasty, well prepared and well presented. We caught our own yellowfin tuna and the kitchen was happy to prepare it for a small fee.

The hotel has a wide stretch of beach that has beautifully strewn lava rocks and a central pool and bar bungalow. Every day there are activities like lei making or palm basket weaving.

The staff were super friendly and accommodating - anything you need just let them know. They are happy to arrange activities, romantic dinners, etc.

Staff were lovely on arrival and throughout our stay. Very accommodating and nothing was a problem. Onsite restaurants were great for all meals whether it be casual or more upmarket. Quiet and very relaxing. Facilities such as pool and spa were great. We had a lovely beachfront bungalow overlooking the beach. Well equipped rooms and personal touches like leaving treats in our fridge each night was a lovely addition. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful place, people, food and room

This definitely rates as one of the best places I have ever stayed at. What an amazing location, and as every room is beachfront, it is stunning to just walk down a couple of steps from your balcony into the lagoon. The Pool, bar and restaurant were perfect, and even though all the rooms were booked, it felt quiet, and we hardly ever saw many people. A good tip is to ask reception for a transfer (alternative to a cab) - we got one to to Boat Shed restarant/bar a couple of evenings, and it was $12 return per person - you just ask the staff at the location you are to call the hotel when you are ready to leave, and they pick you up 10min later to go back to the Resort - brilliant and easy.

Nice place, but certainly not \"5 Star\" Service

The location and hotel grounds are absolutely fantastic, however I expect much more from the service across the board from a \"5 start resort\". The overall experience was nice, but certainly not worth the cost, especially when compared to luxury resorts outside of the Cook Islands. Aitutaki is one of the best places I've traveled to, but a day trip, or one night at another resort would do just fine, and then off to another island.

If you desire solitude with luxury on a coral atoll in the South Pacific this is the place to go. The Pacific Resort Aitutaki is a small hotel on an endless beach, with \"front door\" snorkeling and kayaking along with an excellent restaurant overlooking a blue lagoon. The 15 bungalows are surround by a tropical jungle, perhaps a bit overgrown, and have a stunning view, from your lanai and bed, of the that deep blue lagoon. Casual, intimate and cosmopolitan .

A Real Treasure of the Island

This place really is the business and entirely worth the money.
From the personal greeting at the airport, the delicious cold welcome coconut and the greeting from the GM himself I knew that things were off to a good start.
The rooms are just exquisite, each has private direct beach access and a shower to cleanse off when you want to get back to sunbathing or lounging around in the wonderfully private balcony.
Meals were excellent, the food was great and generously portioned. The menu was comprehensive and all fairly priced too which was a nice surprise. Mains were approximate to what you would pay in New Zealand in a nice restaurant.
The staff could not have been more helpful and immediately addressed anything I asked of them.
The reef off the resort's section of the beach has plentiful sealife to gaze at and the bar serves excellent cocktails when you have had your fill.
Kayaks, reef shoes, fins and snorkels are provided which is a nice touch. Mountain bikes are also available and a lap of the island is an excellent activity.
All in all a truly fabulous week and I cannot recommend the place highly enough.

Great staff and very nice accommodations. The food and service were exceptional and the island though small is fun to explore by scoter. The water surrounding the is island is clear and provides good snorkeling, but like most places these days the reef is somewhat stressed.

If you fish, they have some of the biggest bonefish to be found anywhere, but they are difficult to catch on a fly rod. There are two local fly fishing guides on the island and they are quite good at spotting the fish, just make sure you can cast in a string wind.

Great place overall and would highly recommend this hotel and island.

However, the sister hotel on Roratonga is not quite up to the same standards and I would suggest that you stay at another hotel on this island.
