A great location at Aitutake !!!
They looked after us well and there were a number of alternate eating opportunities nearby.
Check-out was easy and we were able to use the pool / facilities until it was time to take the hotel courtesy van to the airport.
We loved our stay.
Thank you !

We stayed here before the Christmas holiday.
Many places were closed around the island and we were trying to go diving. Reception tried over and over to help us schedule a dive. Their efforts were incredible! They also made renting a scooter super easy.
The entire staff was amazing! Kind, sincere, helpful and caring.
The breakfast buffet was top-notch and their pizza was pretty good, too.
We attended Island night on Tuesday and it was fantastic!
The entire facility is clean and beautiful and we would love to come back someday.
Thank you for everything!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Nothing beats enjoying a glass of wine or breakfast with stunning views of the lagoon. Having complimentary swimming gear right on the beach was such a bonus, and with access to not just one but two pools, it made our time even better. The room was spotless, tidy, and very comfortable with both air conditioning and fans. Even the reception staff went above and beyond, arranging a vehicle for us—such awesome service that really exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely be back!

Love this place…from the moment we were picked up at the airport everyone was friendly and worked hard to ensure are time at Tava’e was perfect…I wish I could bottle up the smell of the flower lei they give you at arrival as they are lovely smelling …we rented scooters from the front desk for two of are three days…super fun way to get around…Do not miss Kia Orana tour for the lagoon tour it is a must!!!!! Lovely family ran business..You visit many places and have lunch on their family island… Over all our visit to Tava’e and the island was the highlight of our time in the Cook Islands

The room facing the lagoon was fabulous. Beautifully decorated, big porch with a great view close to a wonderful beach. Swimming and snorkelling both great (but high tide is recommended).
A really good restaurant on site too, although the included breakfast was a bit limited and needed some paid for complements

Paradise!
Excellent relaxed stay. Friendly welcome and pick up. Fabulous food, location, snorkeling, kayaking all in one place.
Housekeeping, not so good- pot luck if the room is serviced!
But overall wonderful- could have stayed longer!
