Guest UserEveryone here is very welcoming and friendly! Some people always mistake us for Japanese or Koreans, but there are people in China who like to travel and enjoy the world just like us! In short, I have fallen deeply in love with the Cook Islands, and I love everything here!

Guest UserThe room was spacious, and so was the bathroom. The toiletries were quite basic. The sea view was absolutely beautiful; every night, I drifted off to sleep with the sound of the waves, and it wasn't noisy at all. The building I stayed in didn't have an elevator, but there was staff to help with luggage. Breakfast wasn't great; although there was a lot of fruit, it would be better to just pay for something else. The food in the restaurant tasted pretty good though.

Guest UserWonderful Beachfront Location and Excellent Value
Castaway Resort enjoys an amazing beachfront location. It was well sheltered from the strong seasonal winds we experienced elsewhere on the island, making it a peaceful and comfortable place to stay.
Our accommodation was a good size, and we appreciated having a separate lounge area and small kitchenette. The television reception was fuzzy, possibly due to the aerial, but this was of little consequence to us. The sofa bed, however, was well past its useful life. The deep dip in the middle made it uncomfortable to use even as a sofa unless it was filled with pillows and cushions.
The pool area is functional but looks tired and would benefit from some maintenance and updating. Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant and other public areas, not in the rooms, which made working a little inconvenient. However, this was clearly stated in the resort’s description before booking, so it was not unexpected.
The staff were amazing. Aileen, our housekeeper, and Firaz and Nather in the restaurant deserve special recognition. They were extremely personable, attentive and always willing to go the extra mile.
The restaurant serves well-prepared and beautifully presented local food. Its beachfront position is a particular highlight, and enjoying cocktails there at sunset became one of the best parts of each day.
Overall, Castaway Resort offers very good value for money, and we would happily recommend it. The calm beachfront setting, friendly staff and beautiful sunsets make any minor inconveniences pale into insignificance. A stay here is unlikely to disappoint.

Guest UserReview:
I had an absolutely amazing stay at this resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning location, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect.
Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully presented, with breathtaking views right outside the door. The food was fresh and delicious, with plenty of options to suit all tastes. We especially loved the easy access to the beach and the chance to explore the surrounding lagoon—it felt like paradise.
This is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Cook Islands. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. We will definitely be coming back!

Guest UserThe location is not great - the nearest bus stop is 10-15 minutes walk. There is not much of service- it does not accommodate for early check in or late check out, and you have to find a place to store you own suitcases, see attached photo- Very problematic if you do not have a rental car. The next door neighbour had a very very loud party during the first night and really affected my rest. The pool service person knocked on the door on the second day without any notice. Pool maintenance should be arranged when there is no guest. Would not recommend.

Location bellissima, con bungalow 201 proprio davanti alla spiaggia di sabbia bianca, sulla laguna calma e piacevole. Il bungalow è bellissimo, attrezzato di tutto quel che si potrebbe volere, con terrazza coperta con tavolino, poltroncine e lettino. Sulla sua estensione, due sdraio per prendere il sole. Dentro, salotto separato dalla camera, bagno immenso e doccia esterna su retro. Un sogno.
Pulizie approssimative e alla va vite; ma chiedendo si ottiene tutto.
Ristorante non perfetto, ripetitivo ma ben gestito. Colazione povera; poca scelta di prodotti da forno e di confetture, niente formaggi e salumi, un solo succo di frutta annacquato. Cappuccino decoroso. Menu diversi per pranzo, pomeriggio e cena, ma con scelta modesta almeno per i gusti occidentali, Due serate a buffet per settimana, sempre con le stesse pietanze; il venerdì serata carne, con un filetto da urlo!
Ci siamo stati due settimane due... La media dei turisti ci sta tre giorni, ed è forse per questo che abbiamo trovato il ristorante appena sufficiente.

This resort fitted my purpose well. Love this adults only resort and location just right on the beach. Each villa is stand alone with your own entrance & patio area which is what I like. You are not attached with other rooms or share space. Facilities inside the room just same as the pictures. Good value & room price, includes breakfast.
Overall, a clean & tidy complex, friendly staff, good size swimming pool. I definitely will choose Crown beach resort again.

Tava'e Resort is a hidden gem for a family holiday on Aitutaki! The staff is warm and caring. The poke bowl in the restaurant is very fresh, and the menu of the day, bull on the reef, is amazing, and the sunset over the lagoon is even more unforgettable. The resort has direct access to the private beach and provides snorkeling equipment for free. Children play with fish in the shallow, crystal-clear lagoon, and adults can enjoy the tranquility by the infinity pool.

We had two rooms for our family. The beach suite was very spacious and had an amazing view of the lagoon. The beach was so calm and beautiful. We loved the kayaking and paddle boarding. The food was good but after a few days we were sick of the menu. Luckily the location is great and you can walk to other restaurants.
