After a hectic week of festivities on the main island of Rarotonga, we escaped for a few days of bliss to Aitutaki and the Etu Moana. The resort is as fabulous as everyone says but it is the small extras and attention to detail that make it truely superb. I would really like to thank the staff there for helping... more

I am one of those people who read the reviews of Tripadvisor and am used to seeing multiple great reviews with a sprinkling of negative reviews. For the most part Etu Moana has excellent reviews so my standards were high for this hotel. I am happy to say the hotel lived up to its reputation. I stayed in Villa 6,... more

Just as everyone has said, the cabanas were very nice, the staff was wonderful and the location was idyllic. However...the mosquitoes were horrible! My husband and I stayed in several different places on the island during our stay there and even came back to Etu Moana a couple of times for various reasons. Each time the mosquitoes were easily 3... more

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who has placed entries on this site. You were all right of course. Etu Moana has a big reputation now which it lives up to. We celebrated 25 years of mostly married bliss on the beautiful island of Aitutaki. It was so nice to see Roger and Hayley our fellow West Country Brits... more

You’ve read the reports; you’ve seen the photographs. But none of these can prepare you when you see Etu Moana for the first time. The whole complex is truly astonishing! We have just returned from 16 days, yes 16 days at Etu Moana and were married on One Foot Island on May 7th 2008. This was a dream trip come... more

We stayed at Etu Moana for 4 nights to celebrate my 50th birthday in March. I can't add anything new to the glowing reviews this place has already received, except to say that Etu Moana and Aitutaki are paradise on earth. Go there if you can. You won't be sorry. more

We stayed in a Beachfront Villa #4, it was better than the web site. The accommodation, location and service was fantastic. Our expectations were exceeded. The kayaking in the lagoon directly infront of the Villa's is just superb. Jim & Jo-Anne are superb hosts and Etu is a true credit to their fastidious tastes. The staff were so helpful and... more

Because of Trip Advisor, Etu Moana had some extremely high expectations to live up to, and believe it or not, they surpassed all of them! Jim, Jo-Anne, and all the staff (and I do mean ALL the staff – from the girls at reception and breakfast, to the housekeepers and David, the very talented groundskeeper) just could not have been... more

From the moment that we arrived on Aitutaki I was in my glory. My wife and I were greeted by Jo-Ann & Lovey at the airport who donned us with beautiful flower leis. From there we traveled back to the resort and had a very nice continental breakfast (great coffee and croissants!). After breakfast our room was ready for us... more

My husband and I stayed in villa 4 at Etu Moana at the beginning of April this year. We found this stunning hotel through trip advisor and booked because of the reviews we saw on here. They were not lying, if anything its better than the reviews. The staff are lovely, the rooms are gorgeous, the beach is beautiful, it... more
