Are Tamanu Aitutaki Could Be The Most Romantic Hotel In The South Pacific
Of all the South Pacific destinations, it is arguable that the Are Tamanu Aitutaki, one of the top Cook Island luxury resorts is in fact the most romantic hotel in the South Pacific.
If you are going on a romantic vacation, or your honeymoon for that matter and you have in mind a South Pacific destination, then in my opinion the Are Tamanu Aitutaki ranks amongst the top five worlds best beach resorts, and I hope to be able to convince you that this is the case from my own personal experience.
Are Tamanu is not a five star resort, and I am accustomed to this type of hotel, so I was somewhat apprehensive before setting out, despite the fact that my husband was absolutely certain that I would think it was the most romantic resort in the South Pacific.
The first thing to know is you have to arrive at Rarotonga and then catch another short flight to Aitutaki. You quickly realise you are in another world, not only because of the spectacular views from the aircraft, but also because in the very few minutes it takes you to get to the hotel you realise that what they mean by a road is really a sand track.
I found this whole environment so much more romantic that Tahiti, so much less commercialised, so much more the authentic South Pacific of my dreams.
It is the colors that hit you first, the shockingly bright blues, turquoises, greens, and the white of the beaches, it is extraordinary.
The huge beautiful lagoon is almost beyond description, and there was our resort sitting right next to it!!
The rooms were large, and clean, and comfortable, but not modern. Having said that they were what I’d always imagined South Pacific to be, and I just fell in love with the place, the people, just everything. No TV or radio was another bonus, this was just bare feet paradise – my husband couldn’t spend his time on the phone to the office, or his laptop for that matter.

The food in the restaurant was good and reasonably priced, we went for a cruise around the lagoon, and I got to go to islands with wonderful names like One Foot Island where we had a superb BBQ lunch. I also discovered this is where they film Survivor, and also visited the beautiful Honeymoon Island.
The whole vacation at Are Tamanu was just so relaxing, but to me the real highlights were the local people, so genuinely friendly, the clors, and the snorkelling right in front of our door so to speak.
I definitely think we stayed in one of the most romantic hotels in the South Pacific if not the most romantic

Billis! get off the stage!!!
“My all time favorite musical. But if I say it to half these shitheads, they become animalistic! I wonder why
@mentalguitarisist It was an excellent musical in the 1950s when songs were good poetry that had meaning, rhyme and rhythm set to good music that had harmony and melody
@Capricaquarius89 Very much agreed on all counts
Mitzi fit this role like a glove. Such a delight and so captivating in every way.
Fort Dodge Senior High just did this musical at Decker Auditorium at ICCC and it surpassed the movie in every way, Thanks to choir director, Joe Svendsen, and the wonderful acapella singers plus all their support.
We just did this show at my high school. Only, Billis was like 6 foot tall, and the reaction to him was more positive from the G.I. “audience.”
@scriptum60 He also was Mr. Hand in Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
The Pacific just gets better and better. Saw it online at lastnightstvshows (.) com
this is funny
the only good bit in an otherwise shockingly bad musical.
I think everyone likes the version they first saw the most. I’ll never forget when I saw Matthew Saldivar do this.
We did South Pacific at our local community theatre and i liked our luther billis more. sorry.
Shit! Part 2 is removed!
Because she has her prejudices, and he doesn’t and is still in love with her and hoping…
I know, I was looking for taht too. Maybe it wasn’t in this number?
You should be able to tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese.
These subtitles are purely Chinese.
i love that song i have to sing that cong in a feis lol :p
I thought that there was a scene where someone threw a dart at Luther Billis too.
Next to Mitzi is Ray Walston; he played as the martin with Bill Bixby in “My Favorite Martian.” I’ve always enjoyed him.
But where’s the scene where he made his stomach roll and a guy in the audience yelled, “Hey! You’ve got a hole in your boat!” Because ‘honey bun’ had a warship tattooed on his belly. lolls
hahah mitzi is so cute!
