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.

Very basic cabin. Office open only til noon. Left our bags told we could collect late in the afternoon. All locked up. No answer on the provided phone. The crankiest (non-Aitutakian) man allowed us to get our bags saying obviously it’s all locked because office hours are til 12. Completely unnecessary behaviour and attitude to guests who just paid heartily to stay there. He needs to develop some customer service skills or get off this most beautiful island. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18C0CDC49954E2D00C0287EE1E5551DE8B0837A21734746870875.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 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 #### Pat 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Pat Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anja 1 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Retreat ist in den Zimmern etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber absolut ausreichend für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. Die Zimmer haben alles was man braucht inkl Ventilator, Kühlschrank und Geschirr. Die Lage zum Flughafen ist praktisch, ebenso zur BlueLagoon. Der Strand ist sehr ruhig und es stehen Sonnenliegen zur Verfügung. An der Rezeption können direkt Roller gemietet werden (Trotz Aussage das man nichts weiter braucht außer dem internationalen Führerschein trotzdem kurz zur Policestation für einen CI Führerschein fahren, wenn man danach in Rarotonga einen Roller mieten möchte, hier ist dieser verpflichtend) Dillen hat uns vom Flughafen abgeholt und uns schon einige nützliche Infos gegeben. ##### Anja Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Annie 13 Feb 2025 ##### Annie Stayed 5 nights in Feb 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 #### Jessy 28 Jan 2025 ##### Jessy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Magnus 5 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Magnus Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Tbilisi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tbilisi-Hotels.d3381.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Playa Mujeres](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Playa-Mujeres-Punta-Sam-Hotels.s50-n6053874-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Deptford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deptford-London-Hotels.0-n553248634834708871-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lygaria Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Lygaria-Beach-Hotel.h35002942.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barlaston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barlaston-Hotels.d3000412189.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Saletoga Sands Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matatufu-Hotels-Saletoga-Sands-Resorts.h6389416.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Terminal - Caroli Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castrignano-Del-Capo-Hotels-Hotel-Terminal-Caroli-Hotels.h895041.Hotel-Information) > > [Claremont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Claremont-Hotel.h4533317.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Taghazout](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taghazout-Hotels.d6153242.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Village Hotel London Watford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-Village-Hotel-London-Watford.h2115175.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Forest-Of-Arden-Country-Club.h28506.Hotel-Information) > > [Mackays Hotel Wick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wick-Hotels-Mackays-Hotel-Wick.h18459707.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Pefkos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pefkos-Villas.d6138863-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Queen's Park Le Jardin - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kemer-Hotels-Queens-Park-Le-Jardin-All-Inclusive.h8451431.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Faro (FAO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ams/fao/amsterdam-to-faro) > > [Flights from Hulhulé (MLE) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mle/bkk/male-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Nikël (TIA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/tia/edinburgh-to-tirana) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Lampedusa (LMP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lmp/london-to-lampedusa) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Bucharest (OTP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/otp/london-to-bucharest) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cpt/london-to-cape-town) > > [Flights from Norwich (NWI) to Exeter (EXT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nwi/ext/norwich-to-exeter) > > [British Airways Gatwick (LGW) to Rome (FCO) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-gatwick-to-fiumicino-leonardo-da-vinci-intl/ba/lgw/fco) ### Activities > [Things to do in Hirwaun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Hirwaun.d3000011126.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Greece Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greece.d67.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haymarket-Memorial-Clock-Tower-Leicester-City-Centre.d553248634341020149.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Largs Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Largs-Holiday-Rentals.d181414.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Foxhill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Foxhill.dx6084312)
