埃圖莫亞納精品海灘別墅酒店(Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas - Adults Only)

There's a reason these villas receive 5 stars across the board. It starts with their onsite managers, Tiffany& Jeff, and extends to all the staff that work so hard to make this a memorable stay. The villas are beautiful and not one has a bad view or position. It's just perfect. You're situated in a beautifully landscaped and private adult-only setting. Very laid back and just enough interaction. Any desire is sought to be achieved and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. From recommendations to arranging a beautiful beachfront dinner, to resolving immediately any concerns, our stay at Etu Moana will always be one of most prized trips and experiences.

Io e il mio fidanzato abbiamo passato qua le 4 notti di soggiorno ad aitutaki ad agosto 2022. Il resort è bello, le camere molto spaziose con tutto ciò di cui puoi avere bisogno (anche una torcia nel caso di camminata notturna sulla spiaggia, risultata molto utile) e pulito (facendo paragone con il resort di rarotonga little polinesian tutto altro mondo). I gestori sono stati disponibili fin dal primo momento: ti organizzano le escursioni e con un buon spirito di iniziativa (due giorni a settimana organizzano delle cena a tema e altri due giorni aperitivi con drink del giorno). Fin da subito puoi notare il loro interesse a rendere il tuo soggiorno il più piacevole possibile, come effettivamente hanno reso! Consiglio assolutamente il soggiorno qua!

We stayed at Etu Moana for week two of our three week stay in the Cooks. As we were on extended travels of five months away, we had intended to find somewhere mid-range, but having looked at all the options, this place looked so amazing that we decided to blow the budget :). I am pleased to say that we were not disappointed and our garden villa was everything we wanted and more (as Tiffany says, there are no bad views and you will still see the sea from it, even if you're not directly beach-front). As it was shoulder-season we did have a couple of days of rain, but still managed to top up our tans. The villas are lovely (extremely high-end) and you can easily lounge about on the day bed or the lounger under-cover. The beach is super quiet and chilled and with only 8 bungalows, you are never going to be disturbed or have an issue finding space. We would like to say thank you to Jeff and Tiffany (who are the current managers) for being so kind. Jeff taught us how to ride the electric scooters and we were soon whizzing all about the island (I think we went down every road) - we also used the buggy to do some food shopping on our first day. I loved the scooters so much that I am going to take my motorbike license in the UK and hope to buy a vespa next year - thank you Jeff! We were also delighted that all of our postcards arrived with our friends and family, so thank you to Jeff for posting them for us... Tiffany arranged for us to go out on the lagoon tour (with Teking) and we had a fabulous day - the water is some of the most amazing you will see anywhere in the world. Finally just a note about food - we were on a budget so needed to self-cater - it can be a challenge to find food in the shops on Aitutaki so just bear that in mind - the nearest shop is a 20-minute walk away (Tina's). If you use the scooters then you can pop round all of the shops to see what they have (what they have may be totally different to what was there the day before)! We also ate lunch at Avatea cafe three times which was amazing, and is recommended by the team. If you're lucky enough to be visiting the Cooks, do not miss to visit Etu Moana - you will not regret it!

Etu Moana Beach Villas encapsulates the essence of a serene island escape, seamlessly blending luxury, comfort, and impeccable service. From the moment of arrival, the warmth and professionalism of the staff, particularly noted with Kirstin’s thorough tour, set a welcoming tone that resonates throughout the stay. The grounds of Etu Moana are a testament to meticulous care and beauty, inviting guests to unwind in an idyllic setting that feels both manicured and naturally stunning. While the initial warmth of the villas upon arrival hinted at the tropical climate’s intensity, this minor hiccup was quickly overshadowed by the villas’ cleanliness and the thoughtful spa-like ambiance that awaited inside. This attention to creating a tranquil environment extends to the resort’s amenities, including the consistently good breakfast with a stable selection of choices daily, ensuring a delightful start to each morning. The option to rent buggies, although noted as steep in price, presents a unique way to explore the surroundings, suggesting a balance between cost and convenience. This detail, coupled with the proximity to a spa experience that’s just a short ride away, underscores the resort’s commitment to providing guests with accessible relaxation options. The staff at Etu Moana deserve special mention for their exceptional service and accommodation, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere that enriches the stay. The honesty bar and the anytime-accessible pool are thoughtful touches that enhance the sense of ease and freedom during the vacation. Etu Moana Beach Villas stands out as a sanctuary of relaxation and beauty. Its combination of luxurious villas, exquisite grounds, and stellar service promises an unforgettable retreat. While there’s a suggestion for improvement in pre-cooling the villas for arriving guests, the overall experience is profoundly positive. The promise of returning for a longer stay reflects the compelling allure of Etu Moana, where every detail contributes to an atmosphere of unparalleled relaxation and enjoyment.

When we came to Aitutaki, we tried many different places, including the ones that got the highest reviews on TripAdvisor. Etu Moana was far, far better than anywhere else on the island! And it had the best prices, too - much more affordable than "resorts" that weren't nearly as good! Tiffany and Jeff were the best hosts possible, attending to all our needs. They were so generous in letting guests use the e-bikes for free. (By contrast, Pacific Resort charged a fortune for guests just to take a bike for an hour!) They also let us use the golf carts to go around the island. Most of all, they are delightful people, friendly and kind and warm and welcoming. The villas are gorgeous. The beach is just as spectacular as anywhere else on the island. And it's very close to a place where you can hike to the best view on Aitutaki.

We stayed at Etu Moana for 3 days and for most of that stay were under a cyclone warning. Not too worry. The resort managers were very helpful in providing information on the situation and advice on how to stay safe. The villa was comfortable and a perfect place to wait out the storm. The resort kindly provided us with a chacuterie board to see us through and a bottle of champagne to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was not the experience we expected in Aitutaki, but thanks to Etu Moana we made the best out of the experience. Lovely resort and would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you!

Top Place. Really great villas, especially number 1 on the beach. Staff send owners were fantastic. Honesty bar is a great way to operate a bar. Pool is small but you don't need as the sea is perfect.One thing, I would recommend scooter hire, the resort does provide perfectly fine bikes but on hot days they are not suitable - the resort will organise a scooter but probably best to prebook. Will be back.

We loved our stay at Etu Moana , the place had a great vibe and beautiful beach and the accomodation was superb!! Jane and Steve gave us a lot of recommendations that were fantastic. I will def go back!!

Etu Moana really is as beautiful as the pictures show. What makes Etu Moana stand out for us is the people and the welcome we receive. The (relatively) new managers are fabulous. Jane and Steve are great fun. Jane has started serving food at Etu Moana which has made a real difference. You now don’t have to leave the resort for dinner. We enjoyed some great platters, pizza and a lovely steak pie - either poolside or on our deck. The staff are all great, friendly and smiley and helpful. There is a great vibe and relaxed atmosphere. It really is the best place to have the most relaxing tropical holiday. Can’t wait to return.
