    It was great to sleep just on the beach. The sunset and the stargate was amazing!! We loved to have the free shuttle, the staff was nice and accommodating with our needs. The restaurant beside was also very good.

    No free WiFi. Very poor breakfast and the same everyday! Our villa looks outdated, need a bit of a fresh paint (especially in the bathroom). It looks better in the booking.com pictures.

    Nice location with a beautiful view. Comfy bed, fridge in the room, air-conditioning working perfectly, hot water running in the shower. Free airport shuttle

    Only thing I could fault was the Shower head needs to be changed. Water was going everywhere but frontal. Maybe a sign for the balcony step.

    Beautiful View, location near airport. They provided breakfast which was lovely. Staff were friendly. Very comfortable stay.

    Very, very basic accommodation, small bungalow. Manager was unavailable on one day, the contact phone did not work so we were unable to hire any transport for that day.

    I didn't like the shower and toilets. They were jam packed into the bungalow. But then again you get what you paid for. So overall it's a nice spot 👌.

    Loved the everything about the place. Staff were VERY helpful and polite 😁. I would book here again 😁

    We had to wait for 1 h to check in but then our room wasn't clean, especially the bathroom, so we have to quickly re clean ourself. A bit disappointing.

    Amazing view of the ocean from our balcony! perfect spot for our breakfast and to start the day with a walk on the beach. There is a takeaway place right next to it but we rent a scooter so we eat in different places every night.

    The shower felt really claustrophobic and leaked every time you shower, The shower head didn't feel really clean either.

    The location of Paradise Cove was absolutely stunning! Paradise is absolutely right. The staff were incredibly friendly and really try their hardest to make us feel incredibly welcome. They had a happy hour and their food was really tasty and they provided a really fun atmosphere. We had friends and family join us from other accomodation and they really liked it too. Maine also organised our transport to the venue which was really handy and even our scooter hire. We didn't have to go far to get support.

    The place is very tired. There were several maintenance issues such as doors sticking and sink and shower drains not working well. However, some of these issues were being addressed while we were there.

    Great to be right on the beach. We had a free shuttle to and from the airport, including a trip to the local shops when we first arrived to pick up any groceries. Very good breakfast delivered to our door each morning. All the staff were very helpful and polite. The place was old but comfortable.

    Location close to the airport and other posher hotels, beachfront basic villa with everything we needed. Yummy delicious breakfast delivered to the door, airport transfers. The staff even cleaned the beachfront, more than some of the others do! Nice friendly host. Couldn't fault the place. Would definitely stay there again.

    Property is in need of a revamp to tidy up the kitchen and bathroom. We ate out every night but there was a hot plate. Our room had pots but our friends did not. We had a bottle opener- they didn’t. Just need a bit more care with what is supplied to each bungalow.

    The location right on the beach was perfect. Could walk from the bungalow straight onto the sand and into the beautiful blue water of the lagoon. We were there for seven nights for a fishing trip. The bungalows are basic but the bed was comfortable and clean. The balcony faces the sea and the sunset and were perfect to sit out on. Breakfast was delivered every morning- fruit, bread, jam and butter, juice and cereal and milk. The bungalows are perfect for their location and price. Look elsewhere if you want a more upmarket place to stay

    Shower could be cleaner and felt that the receptionist seemed grumpy. Admitly she is not the one on holiday but having a happy disposition makes guests feel happy asking questions etc. The neighbors burning plastic on the odd occasion wasnt pleasant.

    Great location on the beach. Brilliant view and lovely swimming spot. Beautiful sunsets from your deck.

    Not necessarily a bad thing but something to be aware of - it is about a 3km walk into the main town which can be pretty warm on a hot day, so we would recommend arranging some form of transport such as car/scooter/bicycle to access the main town and visit Ootu beach sometime whilst staying here.

    A very affordable and relaxing stay on Aitutaki! We were welcomed by the accomodation staff at the airport and were given a frangipani necklace and received free airport transfers. The bungalow was very comfortable and in an amazing location - Such beautiful water and reefs straight out the front of the bungalows. There is good food, drinks and happy hour located at the restaurant located on the accomodation grounds 3 nights per week and a yummy and affordable takeaway store 2 doors down. We loved it so much we extended our stay and the reception were very helpful. Daily breakfast was served at 8am and was always very good. There is a wifi hotspot at the accommodation and kayaks available for hire. Would definitely recommend for all travellers and we would return to stay here in the future.

    I really liked the property but it’s old and well worn in the rooms, my friend didn’t feel her deck was safe. And their beds needed replacing- ours was good. I wish the kayaks were included and not extra.

    Beautiful beach location. Conveniently located to takeaway food. Really helpful staff. Great breakfast included.

    nothing really. Oh yes the bar on the premises was only open on a Wednesday and Saturday evening, could have opened more evenings as the staff were very friendly, especially at happy hour.

    Location was excellent, breakfast good, the cooking facilities were very basic, however we eat out every night. Accommodation could be upgraded keeping the character of the beach accommodation. ie one of the neighbourhood beach houses, where upgraded and looked far better.
