Great reception and wonderful views of the reef

Hotel's Favourite
We were greeted with a fresh coconut and easy check in. It is a boutique resort with great service and friendly staff. There is no onsite restaurant service apart from breakfast but it is easy to walk along the beach to two other resorts or a lower cost takeaway/eat-in called Aunty Odeez. Restaurant bookings and shows can be organised by reception. Stunning views of the reef. There is even a golf cart for hire if you wish to drive around the island.

Etu Moana is a superb little island paradise. Host Tiffany and Geoff were extremely helpful and friendly.
The villa accomodation is well thought out and everything about this resort is made for a very relaxing experience.
All the staff were very friendly and a gorgeous simple breakfast by the pool was a great way to start the day.
Our only advice would be to bring good earplugs as the roosters start crowing anytime from 3am onwards.
Love the honesty system with bar fridge, which only adds to the very special place this wonderful resort is.

Etu Moana more than lives up to its claim to be a boutique resort. From the arrival greeting at the airport to the return journey to the airport all the staff could have not been more welcoming and helpful. Etu Moana is beautifully situated with lovely garden paths leading down to the beach. The lay out maximised our feeling of space and privacy, whilst at the same time allowing us to meet the other guests.

WOW. It was just the best experience, highly recommend Aitutaki. Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas were absolutely fantastic. Helpful, very friendly staff and nothing was a bother. Rooms were immaculate. Made our first time at the Cook Islands so great. Loved the breakfast and tranquil setting. Swimming in the lagoon was safe and lots of fishes. Great gear and easy access to transport, - we rented a motorbike and got to explore this fabulous island. Easy access to Spas down.

Room tip: Alot of Roosters around - but they provided earplugs. Beds were so comfortable.

We loved our stay at Etu Moana over July/August 24. Tiffany and Jeff are most accommodating hosts with nothing being too much trouble. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Wifi remained intermittent depending upon location within the resort, but hey, you can't have everything. We highly recommend Etu Moana for a quiet, peaceful and luxurious break from reality. I would like to mention the great staff at the resort, but must single out Terangi for her lovely personality and cheerful approach to her guests. That girl is great.
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality and wish you all well for the future.

This place is an island on its own. It is peaceful, the weather balmy, the sea perfect and warm, the coral sands are white and endless. We loved this piece of paradise. The bungalows are spacious, comfortable with king-size beds. The breakfast bar also doubles as a happy-hour (honesty) bar where you can make your own cocktails, sit by the pool, sit on the beach, and feel the woes of the world simply slip away. We loved the golf-buggy type cart that we drove around in ($25 day) and explored the island while taking advantage of being able to get to a cafe a little further away (Avatea - go there, try the fish tacos!). The hosts, Geoff and Tiffany, were gracious and always ready to help. We loved it here!
Although there is no restaurant here, there are plenty within walking distance and all are good!
