    I have travelled extensively around the world, but my stay at this hotel in Aitutaki was truly the best I’ve ever experienced. From the moment I arrived, the service was beyond anything I’ve encountered before. Every member of staff radiated warmth and kindness, and it was clear there wasn’t a single thing they wouldn’t do to make my stay more enjoyable. The attention to detail, the genuine hospitality, and the seamless way they anticipate your needs made this feel like so much more than just a holiday—it felt like being welcomed into a family. Every interaction was heartfelt, every request was met with a smile, and every moment was unforgettable. If you are looking for absolute perfection in service, setting, and experience, look no further. This hotel has set the bar impossibly high for all my future travels.

    Although a lovely airport welcoming, it seemed rushed and overwhelming after a long flight.

    Tucked in lovely gardens and rainforest and yet waterfront, the stay had SO many aspects to love! With the shady verandah and amazing views, it's a perfect place to relax! If you're feeling more energetic the free use of facilities such as kayaks and bikes are great. Such a beautiful beach to walk, swim and snorkel! The lovely staff and restaurant outlook are definitely memorable, the meals amazing - It was great to have taken a package including breakfast and daily 3 course meals ... Every dining experience was beyond expectations, hence we had no reason to dine out of the resort! The 5 night stay was the highlight of our month long holiday and we're hoping to save up and revisit again for longer next time!

    You can’t improve on perfection 😊.

    Everything especially the staff. Beautiful blue water, the Vaka cruise that leaves from there. A lovely place to relax and the peace and quiet. The food here is exceptionally good and service from everyone is happy, friendly and made me feel totally relaxed. Would highly recommend The Private Island Resort and Spa and the Overwater Bungalows are just gorgeous. The weather has been beautiful for June sometimes a little bit windy but that breeze was lovely. Everyone very helpful and the tourists here have all been lovely people. I’d love to come back again. 5*. Sue

    We stayed 4 nights in this hotel. This is clearly one of the best experiences we had since a while. We have the feeling to be alone in paradise. Each room has access to the beach. We have our own bicycles, canoe, paddle. We have access to the best lagoon of Aitutaki, with cristal clear water. We can go by ourses to other islands with our canoe. We can see turtles not far from the bungalows. Staff people are very kind. A particular thanks to Padi the driver, Mere from the restaurant, Kavita at the front desk. We’ll come back again for sure ;-)

    The room cleanliness could have been better. Strange that reception wouldn’t give cash to be added to the bill. Nearest ATM at the airport.

    Tropical Paradise. The resort is stunning, right on the most beautiful lagoon which our bungalow was steps away from. Kayaks, SuPs and Bikes were great. Food and drink very well priced. Go on an island tour and snorkel with Giant Trevally, awesome experience.
