The cabins are humble accommodations but having said that - that's exactly what I was looking for and I was more than happy with my choice. That's why I gave it an "above average". Do not confuse "above average" as a 4 star hotel rating. If you're looking for a pampered luxurious stay while on the Cook Islands, do not... more

Ranginui's is a nice place to stay and good value. We took the 4 day package including a scooter, kayaks and a lagoon cruise.

The host Steve was most helpful, meeting us at the airport, and had our scooter delivered to our cabin shortly... more

I have just been browsing through tripadvisor and saw Ranganuis which my gf and I stayed at a few years ago. Please bear this in mind when reading my review as it may have changed since then. First impressions of the unit were good. Nice and clean, with flowers on the bed in the bath room etc. Then we were... more

Me and my girlfriend travelled to Aitutaki for 3 nights and stayed at Ranginui's Retreat. We were very impressed by the excellent service the owners gave us. The views from the beach bungalows were amazing!! Anyone travelling to this part of the world should seek this resort out before any others as it really is excellent value for money. A... more
