Our every request was immediately dealt with. Dylan, the manager, is a sweet man with a huge smile. The resort is located on a very pretty beach/lagoon. They have free use if kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. They also rent cars and scooters.

The hosts were helpful and approachable. Steve was on time to pick us up and drop us off! He also shared great tips and info on restaurants with great food, ambiance and price. They're grandson was on sight helping with pool repairs and general maintenance and was a polite, charming hardworking part of the team. The biggest need in this cabin was the need of the second bedroom to have an AC. It was an extremely hot stay and our third person had a hard time sleeping. Another need would be for perhaps more than 3 settings of dishes for three people. Overall though, it has a good location with an excellent outlook. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/06F23E0682051E0616A3B43CC8691388F534B6281707490329470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95A375AA3F895992A31BC749870741B4817980BD1707490320661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E11710F19D9C9601867E150346EA32AB45CE78C41707490328371.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B14C6A1CE807771E5EB121C9DDE62D79ADABD04B1707490325919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alanna Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat Oct 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I wanted a do nothing holiday.

Die Zimmer haben alles was man braucht inkl Ventilator, Kühlschrank und Geschirr. Die Lage zum Flughafen ist praktisch, ebenso zur BlueLagoon. Der Strand ist sehr ruhig und es stehen Sonnenliegen zur Verfügung. An der Rezeption können direkt Roller gemietet werden (Trotz Aussage das man nichts weiter braucht außer dem internationalen Führerschein trotzdem kurz zur Policestation für einen CI Führerschein fahren, wenn man danach in Rarotonga einen Roller mieten möchte, hier ist dieser verpflichtend) Dillen hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und uns schon einige nützliche Infos gegeben. ##### Anja Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect little place for the family Third time to this Island.

The tours are very expensive so we just stayed swim in the lagoon, make use of the free kayaks and the pool on site. Staff are helpful and friendly. The room that we had was just quite basic and needs upgrading. ##### Eleen Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Suzanne Dec 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Shame about the guy. Very basic cabin. Office open only til noon. Left our bags told we could collect late in the afternoon. All locked up. No answer on the provided phone. The crankiest (non-Aitutakian) man allowed us to get our bags saying obviously it’s all locked because office hours are til 12. Completely unnecessary behaviour and attitude to guests who just paid heartily to stay there. He needs to develop some customer service skills or get off this most beautiful island. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18C0CDC49954E2D00C0287EE1E5551DE8B0837A21734746870875.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Dec 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Its so Beautiful ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa Nov 20, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities The bed in my unit left a lot to be desired I think it is time to swap it out. And the roosters were a bit much at 3am. Overall the staff were great. The lagoon right out my door was absolutely STUNNING!! I enjoyed the area very much. ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charmaine Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic position on the lagoon. We had a 2brm bungalow ocean front. Would definitely stay again. Rented a car from them . Very reasonable. Boatshed and blue lagoon restaurant walking distance. Make sure to take mozzie repellent and cream. The lagoon was awesome to swim or kayak ##### Charmaine Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dianne Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Enjoyable stay ##### Dianne Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A piece of paradise Position was idyllic. Walk out of your room and into the lagoon. The owner can help you with anything you need. Food and drink venues nearby. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Jun 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our stay at Ranginui’s Retreat. A great base to explore Aitutaki from. You can walk to Blue Lagoon or Boatshed for something to eat and drink, but you will need transport to go further afield. Units are well set up, clean and have everything you need. Steve and Lanie are great hosts, very helpful and assisting with local information and recommendations. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### corey Jun 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service I stayed two nights at Ranganui’s. The location is great, walking distance to the boats and 3 nearby restaurants. The room was small but clean. The area is rampant with mosquitos, so bring insect repellant! The only reason I gave this place 3 stars instead of 5 is due to the lack of communication with staff. I had emailed my itinerary as well as the need for a morning airport shuttle. When I arrived, I had to wait an hour outside to find someone to help with check-in. I never saw the owner again and upon leaving, did not have a ride and had to walk 35 minutes to the airport with my heavy bags. ##### corey Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### carol Jul 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay on Aitutaki. Friendly hosts picked us up from airport & showed us to our beachfront bungalow. Well equipped, pretty room with wonderful porch looking over the lagoon. Outdoor shower was also lovely. Hosts made sure we had everything we needed. Only stayed 2 nights & would stay longer next time. ##### carol Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jun 22, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My bad experience Inside my room, ants on my bed,got many mosquito bites though having put on mosquito repellent. Flies in the bathroom. No Customer service. Calling a taxi, they will charge you NZ$0.50 per minute. Worst of all, Larni is only nice to white people. On the day when I did my Safari snorkeling cruise, they advised me to pick me up at the accommodation,but Larni told me to walk all the way down the road.My last day there I asked her to store my luggage and she just told me to leave mine on office sofa myself and the next minute when a couple of white people walked in to store their luggages, she served them nicely and put theirs in the storage place. Walking out of there angrily with my bag, I went to Pacific resort Aitutaki. There I received paramount customer service and they helped me storing my luggage for the day for free and dropped me off to the airport. Shape contrast! Warning:if you are not white and don't want to be discriminated, don't stay there! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Palm-Canyon-Resort.h1154438.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180016-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Treasure Island Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Treasure-Island-Beach-Resort.h13340469.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Trail](https://www.expedia.ca/Trail-Hotels.d181037.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wayfinder Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Wayfinder-Waikiki.h6640.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Paraíso Maya Suites - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Paraiso-Maya-Suites-All-Inclusive.h2802477.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Kauai-Beach-Resort-Spa.h583022.Hotel-Information) > > [Return to Paradise Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Matautu-Hotels-Return-To-Paradise-Resort-And-Spa.h7624107.Hotel-Information) > > [Saletoga Sands Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Matatufu-Hotels-Saletoga-Sands-Resorts.h6389416.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Leduc](https://www.expedia.ca/Leduc-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d8571-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yvr/edmonton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Sa Khu (HKT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bkk/hkt/bangkok-to-phuket) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/mco/london-to-orlando) > > [Air Arabia](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Arabia-Flights.cG9.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/yyc/windsor-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dub/yyz/dublin-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/mnl/tokyo-to-manila) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Unorganized Kenora District (YHD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yhd/winnipeg-to-dryden) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Lincoln (YFC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yfc/kitchener-to-fredericton) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/sfo/edmonton-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/las/ottawa-to-las-vegas) ### Activities > [Things to do in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Ottawa.d178296.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Rome.d179899.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Istanbul Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul.d178267.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico City Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico-City.d178285.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Disneyland® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Resort-Anaheim-Resort.d6025613.Vacation-Attraction)
