On a recent trip to the Cook Islands, we had our last meal at the Pacific Resort on the island of Aitutaki. This is a view from the dining room - it must be incredible at sunset!




What a beautiful resort! The Pacific Resort Aitutaki has only been open for four years. It is lushly landscaped and luxuriously appointed - and much less to stay at than resorts of similar quality on other islands in the South Pacific.

A must while on Aitutaki is a lagoon cruise - the lagoon is so incredible that visitors to Rarotonga take a day trip over to the island just to go on there! The fish are abundent, and when you snorkel they may school around you while you check out the giant clams, pearl oysters, octopi and other marine life.

Most lagoon cruises include lunch on the beach - ours was with a group who had worked with the Survivor cast and crew - do you think they copied the ingenious method of making dishes from the locals?

If I were to go back to the Cooks I think I'd spend an extra night on Aitutaki, go on two lagoon cruises, and stay at this resort.
