A short 40min flight from Raratonga, met at the airport and five mins to the 'Boat Shed" The staff would arrange everything for you, from day trips to local visits. Rental cars and bikes (a must for the 14km round trip of the Island) available on site. excellent resturant with big range of food on the menu. Well stocked bar.... More

Although units are more garden view does not detract from the property at all with the close proximity of everything at that end of the island. Onsite rentals and a great restaurant with a deck over looking the reef passage adds to its advantages. After visting aitutaki a few years ago this end of the island has developed with 4... More

place was clean and very functional, but you go to the island for ocean and this place has too little of it for the price. Should be NZ$70 at most vs. 145. Boat Shed also terribly overpriced, small portion average food. More

The damage caused by Cyclone Pat back in February is still being repaired so expect to see collapsed houses, buildings without roofs and relief tents almost everywhere on the island. The cyclone damage also explained why so little fresh fruit and vegetables were available for purchase at the roadside or in the shops. Our initial impression was that we were... More

We were disappointed with our stay at this property. The staff member that met us at the airport was not friendly at all, almost grumpy. Although he did tell us how to book a tour we requested, a telephone message was not given to us until 10pm at night even though tour company had rang at 7pm to speak to... More

This review thing is quite new to me , but I was browsing the net and saw reviews for Popoara resort. My husband and myself have stayed there on three different occasions, starting in 2007 and also in 2008 and 2009. The owners Allen and Maria made our vacation!! Nothing was too much trouble, from finding us a coffee press... More

Aitutaki is an amazing island and highly recommended. My main intention was to catch the monster Bonefish that inhabit the island. My first night I found myself at the Boat Shed restaurant and Bar meeting fellow fishermen and some local islanders. I ended up there almost every night after that. The owners Allen and Maria were super friendly and the... More

I have never written a review before , but I happened to be surfing around and saw a poor review of this resort. It just goes to show that there is no pleasing some people. I have stayed at Popoara three years in a row, I know the island very well at this point and can say with confidence that... More

My husband and I had a wonderful week at Popoara Ocean Breeze Villas after My mother passed away. This was the perfect medicine. It was a very quiet relaxing pretty environment with a very short stroll to the beach, the views were magic with the background of waves coming over the atoll. The villas were very comfortable with everything you... More
