You will not be disappointed. The staff was amazing and everyone there was so friendly and great. The villas were very clean and the views were spectacular. Can't wait until we can go back there again.

We just returned from our 5 night stay at Etu Moana this week. Is it time to go back yet? Upon arrival into Aitutaki, we were greeted by Shardae, one of the staff members at Etu Moana. She shuttled us to the hotel, which is approximately a 5 minute drive from the airport. At the hotel, we were greeted by... More

We visited Etu Moana for our honeymoon in December and we were so happy with our choice. We had a beachfront villa and it was just so relaxing and peaceful. There was snorkelling right out the front - we found all types of varieties of fish, and even found a giant clam towards the left (you can tie your kayak... More

We stayed here as part of our Honeymoon after spending 4 days in Rarotonga and what else can you say about Etu Moana, it is simply the best Hotel (& Staff) on Aitutaki (and over the rest of the Cook Islands for that matter). Each Villa is absolutely immaculate, and the grounds very well kept with staff manicuring the gardens... More

After spending 8 nights in Rarotonga staying in a Beachfront Villa at Sea Change we thought life could not get much better. However on arriving at Etu Moana it did! We stayed in Villa 10 and everything about the villa and the resort itself is nothing short of perfection. The Villa has an amazing view over the lagoon, the hardwood... More

We absolutely loved our stay in this hidden place. With only 9 villas situated on a beautiful and quiet beach, you will be pampered with personal attention to make your stay memorable. We stayed in villa #1, which was located first in a row right on the beach, literally just steps away from the water. All villas are identical in... More

We would like to recommend Etu Moana to travelers that would love to have a comfortable stay, enjoy great snorkeling, have it so quiet and peaceful and with lots of relaxation. Steve and Amanda helps both to make your stay extra special. Perfect for couples independent of the age.

there was absolutely nothing to fault - the team that welcomed us were very friendly and full of very useful advice and tips. Our cabin was beautiful beyond words and had evenrything to meet our every need. The location was sensational - the snorkelling just off the shoreline out of this world. The breakfasts were great

We stayed at Etu Moana for 4 nights in Villa 1 - this was the best location. Villa 1 stands alone on the edge of the resort right on the beachfront. Was private and the view was stunning - made you feel like you were the only ones there. The rest of the resort gives off a similar feel. You... More
