Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort - Adults Only

Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"Expedia has a character limit, so I'll keep it brief: We loved our 5 night stay-it was everything we've ever dreamed of in a tropical paradise. We have now found what we were looking for. "Deluxe" room was primo, Backyard opening onto the water-you could walk forever after a very short swim. At points around the island you can walk for ages offshore without getting your shorts wet, Incredible Plentiful chaise lounges all around the island (and pools). 36 huts seemed to be populated by honeymooners and anniversaries plus those of us not celebrating anything. Mostly Aussies and Kiwis Good food for all meals at fantastically reasonable prices-over 5 days never ate outside the resort and never ate the same thing twice. Excellent tropical cocktails-made my way through the entire menu Bugs were minimal after a bit of strategically applied big wipes Staff were oh so friendly - we were taken care of by Mere, Jerry, Nocy, Illy and many others. Well stocked gift shop Huge room-A+ where many tropical locations fail-plentiful air conditioning and water pressure, no pests to speak of, a wonderful outdoor shower (even though it wasn't extremely hot), many choices for backyard lounging-deck/sand/hammock. Snorkel gear, bikes, SUP, kayak, gym, pool table, ping pong, games available The BLUE water-impossible to describe but you cannot overestimate the beauty. Been to Hawaii, French Polynesia and Caribbean and have never seen anything like it. This is better and cheaper! Check it out!"
