Tai Roto Bay

We spent 6 days at Tai Roto Bay Villas .and can highly recommend it . Cheran and her lovely mother and all the staff looked after us very well . Gave excellent advice and booked outings . The private beach and sunsets are exceptional ! Walking distance to restaurants and cafes .

Other than my airline ticket, all of my bookings in the Cook Islands were done last minute - as usual. I decided to stay in Aitutaki for 4 days rather than the day trip from Rarotonga that many travelers choose. I picked a quaint property on the east side of the lagoon that ended up being a gem. I was met at the airport by Charon, the owner of Tai Roto Bay Beach Villas, a lady whose effervescence bubbles over like a glass of fine champagne. Warm and delightful, she made me feel welcomed before we even reached the property. Poni, who was gracious and radiant, was as accommodating as Charon. I'd left a package at a property on Rarotonga and they both went above and beyond in arranging to have the package picked up and delivered to me at the airport during my layover. My bungalow was very comfortable with a casual quality that immediately brings relaxation. A few yards from my doorstep is the lagoon with colors that hint upon what's to come with further explorations on a Not To Be Missed lagoon cruise. I was lucky enough to be here on moonless nights. A Milky Way exploded from horizon to horizon and you didn't have to look up to see the stars, just out. I highly recommend this beautifully landscaped property. With only a handful of bungalows, this site is removed enough from other properties and businesses to make you feel like you have Aitutaki to yourself. A few minutes walk away is the Koru Cafe with a world class Eggs Benedict and probably the best coffee on the island, and also there is The Boat Shed with a Teriyaki chicken that is most likely the best you'll ever taste.

From the moment Cheran welcomed us at the airport, to her saying goodbye three days later, this was a perfect short stay in Aitutaki. We hit the jackpot, picking villa 2 with the beach view, as the palm trees almost picture-framed the lagoon and the extra dozen steps compared with villa 1 for the early morning dip count as exercise over for the day! Unlike other places in the area, Tai Roto enjoys a deepish channel even at low tide, so you can enjoy a proper swim at any time. Decent eating options are within walking distance and the breakfasts are lovely. Thanks for making it so special Cheran and all the staff.

Te Roto Bay Luxury Villas, Aitutaki is the place you want to choose for your island escape stay. Cheran & her team looked after us so beautifully. We had the breakfasts delivered each morning- which were sooo good, I highly recommend that- they had great GLUTEN FREE catering for us too, which we really appreciated. Delicious. The bed was so comfortable, lovely clean villa & it was self contained so we could cook for ourselves too or walk down the road to the restaurants & a great Cafe called Koru Cafe who had good GF options as well. Excellent GF choices at THE BOATSHED restaurant too. Cheran was so welcoming & nothing was a bother- we felt well looked after. Definitely coming back to stay @ Te Roto Bay Luxury Villas, Aitutaki as soon as we practically can! Thank you for the best holiday break away in paradise.

Our stay here was perfect thanks to Cheran and staff who are always happy and helpful. The location is just perfect and the views are amazing. Walking distance to restaurants and cafe. And one of the best places to swim right at your doorstep. Accomodation is flawless everything you could possibly need. We cannot fault this little piece of paradise. We highly recommend a stay here.

This is a gem of a place. We were all so ready to down tools pick up our books and do nothing! We have had the most wonderful 5 days at this beautiful piece of paradise. The first few days were windy but it didn’t matter as lots of nice places to move the sun lounger to! We loved the scooters that gave us independence to get around the beautiful island! The gardens are gorgeous , the staff absolutely wonderful and so friendly and welcoming. We visited other resorts and were so pleased to come back to our own slice of peaceful perfect paradise! The daily coffee at Koru was perfect, the Blue lagoon and boat shed restaurants an easy walk . We really could not recommend enough. Fabulous villas with comfy beds and lovely verandas. We will be back and will tell all our friends to come visit the best place on Aitutaki . Thank you

This accomodation is just perfect, Cheran and her mum Poni were so attentive nothing was too much trouble, daily tropical breakfast was just delicious and plenty for two people. Room clean and so comfortable and outlook to the lagoon is awesome

Just perfect! It was our honeymoon and first time to Aitataki and we couldn't have picked a better spot!! From Cheran's pickup at the the airport to our sad departure (didn't want to leave) we had a fantastic time. We highly recommend Tai Roto and will definitely be back.
