Small Luxury Hotels of the World - Pacific Resort Aitutaki

The resort is beyond beautiful. We traveled from Los Angels and booked the ultimate beachfront bungalow for our 25th anniversary. The room was perfect, the bed heavenly and the all-glass double shower head with garden view was unreal. It was stocked and cleaned daily to perfection. The resort is quiet, beautiful, the food served for breakfast and dinner was delicious. But what really makes this resort so special is the staff. Super friendly and kind. Esi, Losana and Baldwin are the real gems to this place. Honestly all the staff were super courteous and helpful, always smiling. We enjoyed our stay so much we really can't stop talking about it and telling all of our friends. Vacation of a lifetime.

My husband and I spent the last leg of our honeymoon here. We did four nights in Rarotonga and three nights here. Immediately upon arriving to Pacific Resort, we knew we should have spent more time here. It was the most beautiful resort we've ever stayed at! The rooms were beautiful and private with plenty of space between each villa. The resort location on the beach was also perfect. The service was exceptional with the friendliest staff! Breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner was all so delicious. We loved the resort so much we only left once for a blue lagoon tour. Pacific Resort was the perfect ending to our honeymoon. We will definitely be back!

We decided at the last minute to book a relaxing trip to Aitutaki. Pacific Resort was the obvious choice to stay. We enjoyed the friendly staff, rooms were large and in good condition with excellent access to the beach. If you get a chance make sure you book a wonderful massage in the Tiare Spa too. Food was excellent too.

The resort is just beautiful and so calm and relaxing. Our bungalow 3 steps from the sand was so Devine. Amenities weee great and very luxurious in an understated way. The restaurant was such a welcoming atmosphere at the end of a day’s activities. Miss this beautiful place.

From the moment we arrived on Aitutaki to the moment we left, our experience with Pacific Resort was sublime. We were greeted at the airport by the Pacific Resort staff with lovely fresh flowers and big smiles and transferred straight to the resort. My husband and I stayed in the Ultimate Beach Villa and it didn't disappoint - we had beautiful views out over the ocean, the room was extremely clean with fresh flowers daily, and so beautifully furnished and decorated. The food at Pacific Resort was the best on the island, we tried a few other places but they weren't close to Pacific Resort quality, and the prices are very reasonable too. I can't speak highly enough of the staff, the bar staff remembered our names and room number when we popped over for a drink (which was often!) and were all so friendly and welcoming. I can put my hand on my heart and say this is the nicest/best/friendliest resort I've ever stayed at, and well worth the money. My husband and I will be back for sure. Thank you to the Pacific Resort team for making our honeymoon so memorable!

Everything was absolutely outstanding. We needed an 'RnR' holiday and this was the perfect choice. One thing that was unexpectedly good was the quality of the snorkelling right off the resort beach- the best I have ever come across at a resort anywhere in the world! Staff were amazing at all times. Restaurant good. Cocktails delicious. We will definitely be back!!!

The resort is perfectly positioned on one of the most beautiful lagoons we have seen. It faces west, providing spectacular sunsets and ocean views. It has a luxurious yet casual vibe and is on a beautiful beach surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Throughout our stay, we found the staff very personable, helpful, and extremely customer service-oriented. We stayed in one of the Ultimate Beachfront Villas – the name says it all! The villa was very private, with a large patio and incredible lagoon views. We enjoyed lattes in the morning and a glass of wine at night while watching the sunset. The villa was spacious and very comfortable, with all the modern amenities you would expect from a five-star resort. We had a large living room and a separate bedroom, both with spectacular views of the lagoon. The bathroom was one of the largest I have seen in a resort, but the best part was the shower with floor-to-ceiling glass looking into a private garden with an outdoor shower. Additional features were direct access to the beach–down a set of stairs from our patio and an outdoor shower along the way to rinse off after swimming. The area by the pool is very relaxing. It's nestled around the garden with sun loungers and little nooks to enjoy beachside. There's a beautiful negative-edge pool to wade in and look out onto the lagoon, and a restaurant and bar open for lunch and happy hour. The front desk staff made excellent recommendations for tours, day trips, and rentals. We opted for a private half-day water taxi tour of the lagoon – a must-do! We visited Honeymoon Island and One Foot Island and snorkeled with giant trevally fish, which was a highlight of our trip. The resort is truly paradise, and we hope to return soon.

We strayed for a week The resort is is the best possible spot in Aitutaki: still close to the lagoon but a few meters high, so you can enjoy a wonderful view from the restaurant deck. bungalows are nice and spacious, and staff super attentive. snorkelling is very good just in from of the resort although the lagoon is shallow and you you hav to watch for the tide

Every person we encountered was the living embodiment of a warm hug. Our stay was incredibly enjoyable and we plan to visit again. We enjoyed the food, the activities, the spa treatments. We could be as busy as we wanted, with plenty of things to do, or we could be left alone to just relax. Highly recommended as a holiday destination!
