A review of this place: Tropical paradise... — 1 year ago
My partner helped build the Pacific Resort Aitutaki on the Northern side of the island… he was there for 18months and enjoyed it. The people are friendly, and laid back, choosing to wear more traditional pareu and flowers in their hair. The coral reef surrounding the island is a safe bathing place for adults and children. You can see & eat, an abundance of sea cucumber (a delicacy) I loved snorkelling and seeing the beautiful tropical fish (although they were quite small). Much better than the Great Barrier Reef I reckon!! The delicious MANGOES on the island grow wild, so they are plentiful. The best thing to do is try to mix with the local people, and they may take you out fishing on the reef, or invite you for a traditional Island meal of taro, roast pig and fresh vegetables. Nightly entertainment includes traditional Tamure dancing and of course the drums. Aitutaki is a popular wedding venue as well, and what a romantic, unspoiled location for a honeymoon…
