Our Guest Reviews & Awards
Guest Reviews - Nearly all Guests are rating Etu Moana 5/5!
"Island paradise"
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.
"A Little Gem"
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.
"Aitutaki - truly paradise"
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.
"A little slice of paradise!"
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.
"Etu Moana, a true escape."
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.
"We enjoyed it!"
We just returned from five nights at this wonderful resort. Beautiful, relaxing......good for the soul. Our accommodations were clean, modern, and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and every morning we woke up to a spectacular view of the white beach and vibrant turquoise waters of the lagoon.
"Safe in a Cyclone"
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.
"Outstanding"
Tiffany and Jeff were fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to personalize our experience. Etu Moana is beautifully situated and well resourced to support a couple exploring the island or just enjoying the beach and lagoon out front. Paddle boards were great, the pool is immaculate, staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank you T&J, it has been wonderful to meet you and visit Etu Moana.
