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. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charmaine 2 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic position on the lagoon.

I enjoyed the area very much. ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### RANDY 4 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### RANDY Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alanna 9 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/06F23E0682051E0616A3B43CC8691388F534B6281707490329470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95A375AA3F895992A31BC749870741B4817980BD1707490320661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E11710F19D9C9601867E150346EA32AB45CE78C41707490328371.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B14C6A1CE807771E5EB121C9DDE62D79ADABD04B1707490325919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alanna Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 15 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean sheets, cookware, and towels.

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. ##### Pat Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eleen 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Eleen Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teuru 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a lovely stay here this weekend.

Friendly hosts picked us up from airport & showed us to our beachfront bungalow. Well equipped, pretty room with wonderful porch looking over the lagoon. Outdoor shower was also lovely. Hosts made sure we had everything we needed. Only stayed 2 nights & would stay longer next time. ##### carol Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 2 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A piece of paradise Position was idyllic. Walk out of your room and into the lagoon. The owner can help you with anything you need. Food and drink venues nearby. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 8 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed our stay at Ranginui’s Retreat. A great base to explore Aitutaki from. You can walk to Blue Lagoon or Boatshed for something to eat and drink, but you will need transport to go further afield. Units are well set up, clean and have everything you need. Steve and Lanie are great hosts, very helpful and assisting with local information and recommendations. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jackson 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Sheets were not cleaned well ##### Jackson Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Brazil](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Brazil-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d23-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Pool in Carcassonne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d6050702-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ayurvie Weligama - Ayurvedic Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Ayurvie-Retreat-Weligama.h35173513.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Chiado](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiado-Lisbon-District-Hotels.0-n504877-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Mala Mala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mala-Mala-Game-Reserve-Hotels.d6084917.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pensions Tossa de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Pensions.d4339-aaPensions.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hope Haven, Christian Setting, Sleeps 76\. 20Baths, Ideal for Groups & Churches](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perris-Hotels-Hope-Haven.h57237475.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Torremolinos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torremolinos-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d10205-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Taufua Beach Fales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lalomanu-Hotels-Taufua-Beach-Fales.h4862263.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Aberdeen-Hotels.s50-0-d6054175.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Birkenhead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birkenhead-Cabins.d4571-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Wilpattu National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilpattu-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6348720-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ballyvourney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyvourney-Hotels.d6174288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Coconut Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Coconut-Village-Resort.h1781261.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Melbourne (MEL) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mel/bne/melbourne-to-brisbane) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Labuan Bajo (LBJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/lbj/manchester-to-labuan-bajo) > > [Flights from Rajshahi (RJH-Shah Makhdum) to Cox's Bazar (CXB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/rjh/cxb/rajshahi-to-coxs-bazar) > > [Flights from Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to Mihara (HIJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hkg/hij/hong-kong-to-hiroshima) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Wigan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Wigan.d5475-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Tetouan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tetouan.d3559.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Camp Nou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camp-Nou-Les-Corts.d6066935.Attraction) > > [Parque Alfafar Shopping Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Parque-Alfafar-Shopping-Center-Alfafar.d6173473.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Creeting St Mary](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Creeting-St-Mary.dx3000466168) ---
