Pacific Resort Aitutaki

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.

This is a fabulous resort in a great location with amazing views of the lagoon and beach access direct from your rooms. Truly relaxing place to stay.

Absolutely fantastic stay at the Pacific Resort Aitutaki. From the private arrival booth at Aitutaki Airport, to the welcome in the resort's daily newsletter, it's the small details that Pacific Resort did so well. The room is spacious, albeit a little dark but this just forces you to open the blinds and take in the spectacular view of the lagoon from your balcony. The food is all great, it's expensive but that's to be expected at a resort of this calibre and price point. Small desserts are left in your room at turn down service. Wifi is not included and a voucher needs to be purchased, $30 for 500mb. This would probably be my only negative. The property itself is stunning, you are in the middle of a tropical paradise surrounded by trees and lush gardens. This also means yourr surrounded by nature so be prepared to encounter your fare share of geckos and other lizards!

Wow what a resort! It is deservedly 5 star! We had 5 nights and everything was perfect, the food, the resort and most importantly the outstanding service. So professional! Cocktails by the infinity pool, whales swimming by every day. The food was beautifully presented and we had most things on the menu. The sushi platter and the coconut trio dessert were the best but everything was delicious. A full cooked breakfast was included! Would return in a heartbeat!

Everything about this resort, in a beautiful location, is stunning and it delivers on every level. We stayed 5 nights in a premium bungalow, and everything from the welcome on arrival to the outlook of the restaurants, the room, facilities, the food and the customer service is excellent. The view from the bungalow was stunning, we spent a lot of time on our deck, in our private hammock and on our deckchairs on the beach looking at the fabulous view, and swimming and snorkeling meters from our bungalow. Shelley pays a lot of attention to the little details that make great customer service, including the sarong for women and sun hat for men, daily newsletter and the nightly treat and this resort deserves its five star rating. The food is excellent, service quick and friendly, gardens beautiful and the staff lead by Shelley are friendly and efficient. It is a peaceful, beautiful and quiet spot with fabulous views and the perfect place to relax and wind down, and a great location to explore the rest of the island if you want.There is another resort, on the lagoon, where we stayed in an over water bungalow for 2 nights and it failed to deliver great customer service or value for money. You can easily bike to the other resort to see the view, but the view you have from this resort is beautiful and combined with a lagoon cruise, it is heaven on earth. We read all the reviews of the resorts before deciding where to stay and agree that this is the place to stay on Aitutaki. Fantastic!

Location was idyllic. Hotel facilities were first class. Local staff were very good BUT the food at this hotel did not match its 5 star rating

After 28 years, my wife Bonnie and I made it to a place she saw at Expo 86 and always wanted to travel there. It is a long journey from Canada but well worth it. The Pacific Resort Aitutaki is simply Paradise. The accommodations are top notch, the staff is incredible and the beaches and lagoon have some of the best snorkeling Bonnie's ever experienced!! On Wednesday night we were treated to a local buffet supper followed by song and dance, and man can those people move, simply incredible.

Very relaxing. Amazing sunsets, stunning snorkelling, beautiful environs, wonderful staff and service. It costs, but they make it so painless!

The room was excellent, very spacious rooms and a really comfortable bed. View from the room is wonderful, we had our own sun deck with day beds and down a few stares was the beach. Good menu for breakfast and dinner, food was good overall. We were greeted each morning with a smile and kind words by the front desk staff.
