We recently spent four lovely nights here. After an active holiday in New Zealand, we went to the Cook Islands, and in particular Aitutaki, to relax, wind down, and experience Polynesia for the first time. From the moment we were greeted at the small Aitutaki airport by an Etu staff person, we knew we were in a special place. We... More

My husband and I were married on One Foot Island and stayed here during the trip. The room was amazing and the host/hostess were awesome. I breakfasts were great, the views were amazing, and the water was nice for swimming. More

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights at Etu Moana in April, 2012. The location, beach, and grounds were excellent. The staff and service were superb, The bungalows were lovely and we didn't want to leave. We stayed in bungalow #8, which was farther from the beach, but very private, and with only 8 units total, you can't be... More

We stayed for six nights and it was exactly what we wanted. Quiet, peaceful, stunning. The staff were wonderful and Steve and Amanda were both funny, entertaining and friendly. As were the staff from reception to the garden staff and cleaning ladies. Couldn't fault a thing! More

While we didn't stay at this resort, we did spend some time there due to meeting the managers, Amanda and Steve, and accepting their invitation to visit when we were on the island. We had a really nice time there and liked the location and the great beach. Really friendly staff and such a nice quiet place to watch a... More

We just spent six nights at Etu Moana on Aitutaki and we loved it. The staff were super friendly and extremely helpful. The villas were beautiful and the location was stunning. There were only two things that could be improved: a TV with USB connection and a quiet air conditioning would be nice. But since air conditioning was not really... More

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor, we booked eight nights at Etu Moana for our honeymoon and our expectations were exceeded across every aspect. What a magical destination tucked away in the Pacific Ocean. We were amazed by the resort's idyllic setting, picturesque scenery and incredible staff who were only too happy to help. Having booked Villa 3 on the... More

one of the most beautiful places on earth. fantastic staff, even the gekkos in the honesty bar looked after us well. Free use of bikes to get around the island (during the petrol shortage) and kayaks to explore the lagoon, and a half coconut with a straw in when we arrived! no restaurant, but who cares! it was INCREDIBLE More

All the good that has been said about this place is beyond true. I did the research, and picked what I thought would be best for us. It was so many times BETTER than I had ever imagined. Hubby basically said I'd picked the 'perfect' place. So we were happy campers. The water isn't super deep, but I really enjoyed... More

We had a wonderful time staying at Etu Moana on our honeymoon. From the very beginning the staff do a wonderful job of being friendly and helpful, offering a pick up service from the airport, a short tour of the villas and a gift of flower wreaths, coconut drinks, champaign, and Cook Island music CD. Etu Moana itself is simply... More
