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 Blue Lagoon Restaurant is close by as us the Koru Bakery, both of which i recommend highly. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charmaine Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic position on the lagoon.

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 #### Rachel Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best spot in Aitutaki!

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teuru Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a lovely stay here this weekend.

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 ### 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 #### Jackson Mar 25, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Sheets were not cleaned well ##### Jackson Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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 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 Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Rome.d179899.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [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)
