My husband and I stayed for 12 full days at Amuri Sands and are glad we skipped Rarotonga as a friend advised. We were looking for a simple, lower cost stay where we could snorkel off the beach everyday which we did. All the kudos given to Mark are all very true! We had immediate access to the beach and...

My wife Kim and I spent the first 10 days of our honeymoon at Amuri Sands. It was the perfect place to start our stay on this wonderful island. We'd read all the previous reviews and weren't disappointed. In fact Amuri Sands exceeded our expectations. Mark is the perfect host - friendly and relaxed, yet knowledgeable and helpful. He organised... More

We just returned from 6 nights at the Amuri Sands and thought it was wonderful. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Aitutaki. The rooms were clean and comfortable, Mark was a great host and the snorkelling from in front of the property was some of the best.

Mark was a fantastic host. Collected us and returned us to the airport. Very kindly drove us to the local shop after we arrived so that we could do some basic supplies shopping. Delivered fresh drinking rainwater from his own tank every day. Gave us fruit from his tree, cleared and swept the beach every morning. Mark was more than... More

Thanks to Mark for a lovely (but too short) stay at Amuri sands. My friend Kate and I stayed for three nights, and wish we had skipped Rarotonga altogether and spent the time in Aitutaki. Mark picked us up at the airport, sorted us out scooters, got us some fresh pawpaw from the tree, sorted out our lagoon trip and... More

We stayed 4 nights at Amuri Sands and loved it. Right on the same side of the island as all the expensive resorts. Snorkeling straight out front of the unit was just awesome, so many different fish to see. The room was well appointed with a good kitchen that had 4 gas burners for cooking. Poppy dropped us at the... More

My wife and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at Amuri Sands - one of the most beautiful settings we have stayed at. This was only surpassed by the service and assistance given by both Mark and Poppy and we pass on out highest recommendation and would stay there again.

Wife and I just got back from a 5 night stay at Amuri Sands. What a great experience and excellent value. Like other reviews suggest, don't expect a resort. Amuri Sands is 2 small beach front units...no restaurant, no pool, no kayaks/etc. If you want all that then you can pay $500 a night just down the beach. But what... More
