Beautiful stay

The apartment is spacious and clean and comfortable, just on a beautiful beach and the folks are the nicest and so helpful! There are two restaurants and a little coffee shop all within walking distance. You can rent cars and scooters or bikes from these folks, they can help arrange dive or snorkel trips, enjoy their little slice of paradise!

Perfect little place for the family

Third time to this Island. First time staying at this bungalow. It was clean and tidy air conditioning in the main bedroom only fans in every room to keep the circulation going. It’s situated right in front of the lagoon with steps to the water.

I wanted a do nothing holiday. This was a brilliant choice, quiet, pool and lagoon was perfect, the local restraunts and cafe handy, just very insistant on reservations. With bicycle, scooter and car hire available getting out and about was easy. Wasnt prepared for the self catering option at the Retreat and the local stores provided options for dining in. Would stay again, just with better insect repellant.

Fantastic position on the lagoon. We had a 2brm bungalow ocean front. Would definitely stay again. Rented a car from them . Very reasonable. Boatshed and blue lagoon restaurant walking distance. Make sure to take mozzie repellent and cream. The lagoon was awesome to swim or kayak

The bed in my unit left a lot to be desired I think it is time to swap it out. And the roosters were a bit much at 3am. Overall the staff were great. The lagoon right out my door was absolutely STUNNING!! I enjoyed the area very much.

Incredible Setting

This is not a high end resort but tge staff try really hard to make your stay pleasant. Our every request was immediately dealt with. Dylan, the manager, is a sweet man with a huge smile. The resort is located on a very pretty beach/lagoon. They have free use if kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. They also rent cars and scooters. The Blue Lagoon Restaurant is close by as us the Koru Bakery, both of which i recommend highly.

Very quiet, little area right on the water.Basically 12 bungalow cabins .Big thanks to Dylan picking up and dropping off from airport.NOTE:..this is not a "luxury" resort , but the location is great, price is great for the traveller that wants a quiet, low key island experience.NOTE: Aitutaki can get very hot so consider the Cabins with air conditioning..Also the roosters rule and can get noisy...LOL

6/10 Good

Stayed a week which is a bit long. Got a room without air conditioning which is unbearable with the high level of humidity. We had to ask for one with the air conditioning and a kitchenette- wonderful! The tours are very expensive so we just stayed swim in the lagoon, make use of the free kayaks and the pool on site. Staff are helpful and friendly. The room that we had was just quite basic and needs upgrading.

Great all round cabin accommodation

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Ranganui's Retreat. The hosts were helpful and approachable. Steve was on time to pick us up and drop us off! He also shared great tips and info on restaurants with great food, ambiance and price. They're grandson was on sight helping with pool repairs and general maintenance and was a polite, charming hardworking part of the team. The biggest need in this cabin was the need of the second bedroom to have an AC. It was an extremely hot stay and our third person had a hard time sleeping. Another need would be for perhaps more than 3 settings of dishes for three people. Overall though, it has a good location with an excellent outlook.
