We stayed in one of the beachfront bungalows which were pretty spacious with kitchen, etc. Good location!

It was our second trip to Aitutaki. I chose to stay at Sunny Beach Lodge because our first stay was wonderful. The lodge is cozy, affordable, quiet and close to restaurants and store. Also Aroha (manager) is very helpful. I am not sure when I return the island, but I would choose to stay there again. They added several of new cottages close to the beach and they look pretty.

Whilst the owners of Sunny beach Lodge are lovely people, we were initially disappointed with this accommodation. Originally we booked into the studio units and after the first night we decided to upgrade to the beachfront villa's, because we didn't like the studio units as the bed was really uncomfortable and the units were more suited to backpacker style travelers and they weren't what we were expecting. The beachfront villa's were a little better, however we felt quite isolated as we were the only people staying at this accommodation facility and we had to go around to the owner's place if we needed anything (and they were very welcoming and helpful the few times when we did see them). The hot water in our villa ran out after the first night and from then on we had only cold water. There was no telephone in our unit (and we were totally dependent on the owners to make any restaurant or tour bookings for us), nor was there any laundry facilities on site and there was in fact no laundry services on the entire island, but convenience stores were located within a few minutes walk. The studio units were quite dated and room service seemed to consist of a change of towels and tea towels only. Ending on a positive note, the owners are very lovely and we did really enjoy the conversations that we had with them.

We had a great time at the Sunny Beach Lodge. We were picked up at the airport and taken to the lodge. The location is nice, really close to the beach with palm trees. It is located closely to the expensive Pacific Resort. We rented some kayaks further along and the boys had a great time. The fish are beautiful. The Island night at the Pacific Resort was not so good, had to wait ages on our food.
Our plane was delayed going home and the owner was very kind and let us stay in the unit for the whole day at no extra charge. She kept in contact with the airline and as soon as it was flying again she notified us and took us to the airport.
