This resort exceeded all expectations and provided one of the best vacation experiences we have had. Arrival at the airport saw us greeted with beautiful fresh laI’s and helpful staff organising collection of baggage and transport. On arrival at the resort, following a short briefing we were personally shown to our villa. We decided to splurge and have the beachfront villa (the best decision ever) and within a few paces we were snorkelling in the pristine lagoon. The coral and tropical fish were so good we decided to defer the boat trip to another visit as there was enough for us to do. Breakfast is included here and it was so nice to have a breakfast menu with so many choices. It was a generous and well presented array. Whilst the kitchen had an issue with the exhaust fan, restricting some of their regular operations, they still compensated with BBQ nights. The Island Night is recommended too. We met the resort manager a few times throughout our stay and he like his team was engaging and spent time with the guests. It really provided a personal touch. It was also great to see how this resort is committed to renewal and quietly in the background had a team of staff repairing, renewing and repainting so that everything was at its peak. The Henry Family should be rightly proud of what they have achieved with Temanu Resort and the Manager and Staff should be proud that they represented the family so well in their duties. We resolved………. We will be back.

Our stay at this beachfront resort on Aitutaki was unforgettable. The lagoon is breathtaking, with crystal-clear turquoise water, snorkelling and kayaking gear are available at the resort. The staff were genuinely welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Special thanks to front office girls Rangi and Manora. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a kitchenette. We especially loved watching the sunsets from the beach, with the sky glowing in shades of gold, pink, and orange.

As a visitor, I found the accommodation to be of an exceptionally high standard. The villas were in excellent condition, offering comfort, cleanliness, and a strong sense of privacy. I especially appreciated the direct access to the lagoon, which added to the sense of relaxation and connection to the environment. The experience was made even better by the outstanding service from the staff, who were welcoming, attentive, and consistently professional throughout my stay.

What I appreciated most, was the owner and also his staff, so caring, reliable, kind, warm and helpful! I travel the world as I am a Travel journalist but I must admit I never met such decent people like the once in Aitutaki. The lodges are big, few steps away from the beach, but there is also a cozy cottage beachfront, if someone is interested and it is not expensive at all! And you have the sunset just there! The area is my favourite, genuine, authentic. I am not a resort person, here you can really experience the local vibe and it is worth it. you can find also food at a walking distance

Fabulous beach front setting. Great deck area for morning breakfasts and drying gear. Loved taking the complimentary kayaks out on the lagoon to see all the different fish. Short walk to several good local takeaways or down the beach to the flash resort for cocktails or upmarket dinner. Airport pickup and drop off really appreciated. Scooter hire also arranged and dropped off at bungalow which was appreciated. We were really pleased we picked Sunny Beach Bungalows for our stay.

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
