There are no words to express what a wonderful experience me and my family had and how wonderful the host Nik is. He made us feel at home. No question was a dumb one. He made things so easy for us. Booked our car as well. Papa picked us up with flower lei's and Nik dropped us to and from the airport.
The accommodation was what we needed and more. White walls, open space, beds, linen, pillows, towels, bowls, plates, glasses, cups, mosquitoes netting on all the windows and coils to use as well. An open wardrobe to hang things, ceiling and floor fan. two bed side cupboards, two stools to place our bags on, table and chairs for eating, microwave and cook top, fridge, dush pan and broom. There was also a line out the back to hang swimming gears and a basin to wash, rinse swmming gears as well. Information on the table with recommendations. Everything you need.
100 meters to the beach which my mokos loved. Also, provides cheap laundry service as well.
Was able to help me to get a headei for a wedding I was attending.
Highly, highly recommended. Lovely place, close or walking distance to everything you need.
Can't recommend this accommodation enough.

Even after winding down on Raro, Aitutaki definitely is next level relaxed. So is staying at Sunny Beach Lodge 😎 I would definitely stay there again! Our host Niki welcomed us with flower ei’s at the airport and took the time to show us part of the island while telling us interesting and useful stuff. He went above and beyond to make sure we‘d enjoy our time on Aitutaki to the max. We had been a little too relaxed about booking a lagoon cruise and it seemed we might literary miss the boat… but Nik came to the rescue and still managed to book us a cruise to One Foot Island!
The lodge is perfectly located, right at the beach and in walking distance of a 24/7 supermarket and places to eat. Our apartment was very clean, spacious and well-equipped. The other guests were very nice and clearly also feeling at home, so it was like being part of a small community.
Meitaki Ma’ata Nik for making paradise even more unforgettable 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Imagine waking up in an air-conditioned villa right on the beach, where white sandy beaches stretching for miles is your view from your shared patio or on the beach. Experience unparalleled hospitality from your host, along with the opportunity to explore the stunning waters in kayaks. The calming sounds of waves gently lapping against the pristine white sandy beaches create the perfect ambiance. Aitutaki offers an idyllic escape for couples, making it one of the best places to unwind and truly connect.

It was our first time travelling to Aitutaki island. Although, our flight was delayed, Niki had been waiting for me and my wife patiently and welcomed us with beautiful flower necklaces. We landed around 8 in the afternoon but he was showing us around the town and taking us back and forth for 24 hours-operating convenient store as we needed to buy some groceries. Apart from the top service we received, room condition was absolutely fantastic. Kitchen utensils were all clean including coffee port and toilets, bathroom and the beds are so clean. If you are looking for a host who is warm, kind and treating you like a family with a fantastic conditioned stay, please stay with Sunny Beach Lodge. You will know what I am talking about once you meet Niki. If we are coming back to Aitutaki again, we are staying with Sunny Beach Loadge 200 per cent sure.

We enjoyed the stay at Sunny Beach. The place was very clean and functional for us. Nicky the owner was over the top, from picking up from the airport, booking us excursions, booking a rental car for us. We couldn’t be happier with this place. We totally recommend this place. Elena and Andrea

We had a great stay here - everything we needed and Nikki the host is so lovely! Whilst the lagoon out the front is too shallow for swimming/snorkeling, it's a wonderful spot to lie on the loungers to watch the sunset, and great swimming/snorkeling spots are just a very short n]scooter ride away - which was also provided. I would much rather stay here than any of the resorts or on Ootu beach!

It is an authentic South Sea accommodation. If you are expecting a luxury hotel, you are in the wrong place. The accommodation is functional, big enough and equipped with everything you need. There is no AC, but there is a fan. Access to the beach with free kayaks. The beach is a maximum of 70 m away. There are shops and a snack bar in the immediate vicinity. Bicycles are available for hire. The landlord is very, very nice and takes time for his guests. Niki: Thank you for that!!! Niki picks up his guests from the airport and brings them back again. He is a completely uncomplicated guy with his heart in the right place.

Superb accommodation for our budget. Clean and beautiful. Right on the beach. Close to the town so we could walk there. Nicky was the extra icing on the cake and he looked after us really well. Nothing was too much for him.

Stayed here in July last year,excellent place to stay, clean serviced daily, right on the beach, has all you need in a lower end of the scale accommodation, ceiling fan above the bed, cookinng facilities, hot showers, all linen supplied, and friendly staff. My only problem is no place on the island (apart from hand washing) to do your laundry, small price to pay for such idylic surroundings.

A great spot. Stay in one of the brand new beach front bungalows if you can. Property is on the same beach as the exclusive Pacific Resort. It is centrally located and is an easy walk into the main township. Rata and family will do everything they can to make you holiday special. My wife and I have visited many pacific islands and this one stands out by far as the best for value and beauty.
