TRIPADVISOR HAS RATED ETU MOANA THE # 1 HOTEL ON AITUTAKI!

Six days in Paradise

"Everything about our stay was simply perfect. Jane is the hostess with the mostest! The quality of the Wednesday BBQ and Fish and chips on Monday were a surprise and absolutely delicious. So fresh and tasty. Saturday night we took advantage of the Avatea Cafe three course menu prepared by Karen on site. This far exceeded expectations and was a fantastic example of local fusion cuisine. Etu Moana is excellently placed on the beach, with great snorkeling right off shore. We had a garden view vila but could still see the sea. All mod cons. This was our third visit to beautiful Aitutaki and by far the best- the first time we had stayed at Etu Moana. Value for money? Absolutely - we cannot wait to come back. Thank you Jane and your wonderful staff!"
