We stayed in Villa 100 , on beachfront which we were so impressed with. It was huge !. Had its own private entrance onto beach right by lagoon , a front open lounge / dining area with roof , that looked out on stunning views of lagoon and beach : no other thatched cottages/ villas either side , so very private. Next to pool . Kitchenette area was well stocked with coffee machine , fridge , freezer , electric plug in hob , basic kitchen equipment. Bedroom was huge , with great air con and also ceiling fans , with very large double shower ensuite and separate toilet. The ambience of the resort is very friendly , all staff in restaurant were lovely . Food is exceptional at night and at breakfast. Options to walk down beach from here to other resort bars if needed. Their Cultural Island Feast with dancing performance & music was incredible . A huge buffet to help yourself from and live music , Polynesian local dancing. We loved staying at Tamaru . The Manager checked on everyone staying which was great customer service. Highly recommend this place .

She arranged our rental car for us, advised us regarding lagoon cruises, and pretty much made sure we had everything we needed. And the beach is less than 100 metres from the front door.

Guest review
When we arrived, we were offered a second hut free of charge because I was with my sister, and he thought it might be nice for us to have seperate rooms. We spent our first day using the freely provided paddle-boards on the beautiful lagoon just a couple steps away from our huts. We read that we could rent snorkelling gear for 5$ a day (pp), when we wanted to go pay, he let us use the equipment free of charge. The accommodation provides a small selection of free bicycles to use, they aren't the best quality but they were sufficient for getting us into town and back. There is also a free drinking water tap. On the first day, I suffered pretty severe sunburns, when we asked where we could buy sunburn aftercare like Aloe Vera, he walked into his garden and provided fresh Aloe Vera leaves which helped immensely to reduce the pain. Overall a very good experience, Matthias was very nice and really cared for his guests.

What an absolute gem! Ned picked me up at the airport (flower necklace included!), explained everything, including a great coffee spot suggestion, assisted with booking a lagoon tour... The room is spacious, the kitchen fully equipped, there is a washing machine, and there is a great beach literally across the street. Do yourself a favor and stay here.

Lovely staff. Nik is a very helpful and friendly guy who happily helps with activity recommendations and bookings! The Sunny Beach Lodge is close to the "center" of Aitutaki. Roughly a 5 min ride on one of the free bicycles and you're already there.

Perfect spot if you don’t have the budget to pay for the expensive resorts. Awesome location, right next door to a bike rental/convenience store/takeaway shop. The staff were awesome, Niki made sure we had everything we needed, including getting a bike for us so when we arrived we had a bike, recommending lagoon cruises, and organising transfers from the airport for us. We had the best time, we enjoyed using the snorkelling gear, next time we will need to use their kayaks too! And the room was air conditioned - so awesome! Thank you so much

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
