Tamanu Beach Resort

Arriving in Aitutaki, a relatively off-the-beaten-path destination, I chose this hotel for my first night. They communicated my arrival and departure times in advance and arranged for someone to pick me up and drop me off. Basically, I could see the hotel as soon as I got off the plane, since there aren't many hotels, haha. They even gave me fresh flowers to wear in my hair! Fresh flowers! They smelled wonderful. The hotel's decor was very unique, with an outdoor walk-in shower, which was great. Everything else was average. The breakfast was so-so; the buffet had very little food, but you could order one free dish.

Beautiful location, with bungalow 201 right in front of the white sand beach, overlooking a calm and pleasant lagoon. The bungalow is beautiful, equipped with everything you could need, including a covered terrace with a table, armchairs, and a lounger. Two deckchairs are available for sunbathing. Inside, there's a separate living room, a huge bathroom, and an outdoor shower in the back. A dream. The cleaning is sketchy and haphazard; but if you ask, you'll get everything you need. The restaurant isn't perfect; it's repetitive but well-managed. Breakfast is poor; limited selection of baked goods and jams, no cheeses or cured meats, and only one watered-down fruit juice. The cappuccino is decent. Different menus for lunch, afternoon, and dinner, but with modest choices, at least for Western tastes. There are two buffet evenings a week, always with the same dishes; on Fridays, meat evening, with a superb fillet steak! We stayed there for two weeks... The average tourist stays three days, which is perhaps why we found the restaurant barely adequate.

在埃圖塔基島住了兩晚瓊崖海灘酒店，有機場接送服務，送上花環，十一點多一到酒店喝了歡迎飲品聽完酒店介紹就能直接入住，這一點很棒。住的花園平房雖然不能直接看到海景，但房間很大，坐在廊下看看風景也是不錯的。沙灘很美，有無數的珊瑚硨磲，可以帶走但是被新西蘭海關沒收了。早餐一般，晚餐還不錯，人均50刀。缺點是房間內的設施比較老舊，門鎖不上，費了很久的勁也不行，聯繫酒店員工上門查看等了很久很久，還説是我們弄壞的，又説酒店很安全不鎖也沒關係，後來總算給我們換了房，這個房間也是有點小毛病的，懶得跟他們溝通了，淋浴的花灑不太好用，水不夠大。

房間很現代， 但是服務人員的數學不好，在那邊算3%算了半天算不清楚要收我30%.. 然後還有就是11點退房，我們在收拾行李他10:50就站在門口催促要打掃我們的衞生了。 別的還不錯，那一片海灘可以走到各個酒店，其實住隔壁的tave也很有性價比。
