Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were the best, very nice and also good people, thank you guys GB"

The Islander Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Positives and negatives: + Rooms actually are nicer than they look in the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised + Restaurant is really good quality, both staff and food were great + Aircon worked very well and room didn't seem to humid + Love these guys because they are kind to animals. - No late checkout. It's advertised at a $50 cost, but when we told "Donni" that we wanted to check out at 1pm she said that we had to leave at 10am because someone else was going to stay in the room. The place was not fully booked, and so if check in is at 3pm is 2 hours not enough to clear a room? - Tuesdays is Renovation day. If you are staying on a Tuesday, bring your earplugs. They were working on the rooms or the roof and it was all day with power tools. We knew about the partying until 10 and 11pm, but we were not counting on losing the nap."

MM Studio 2 - Across the road from a stunning beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for a couple, would definitely stay here again. Beautiful location, the beach really was right across the street. There was an issue with the hot water but Eddie was quick to rectify it. The Wigmore shops are less than a 5 minute drive away which was very convenient. Muri Beach was about 10mins away so it was just a great location all around."

Sea Change Villas

8/10 Good

"I spent three nights at Sea Change in a self‑contained villa in the Cook Islands and really enjoyed it. The beachfront location was fantastic, and the villa had all the amenities I needed. There were a couple of small maintenance items that could be improved, but nothing major. Overall, a great place to stay and one I’d recommend."

Ideal for Families or Groups of 8 Guests - Unlimited Wifi

10/10 Excellent

"This property exceeded our expectations! The pictures do not do it justice, particularly the gorgeous gardens, the covered deck, and the beach hut. The property was extremely clean and very well appointed. We were able to communicate well with the host and property manager. The property has enough common spaces for everyone to have some space from one another if needed. Everything was simply wonderful."

Palm Grove

8/10 Good

"Possibly the best beach in Rarotonga. Friendly staff. Nice pool area and a great location near shops and restaurants. We booked a beach front bungalow. The beach front bungalows are split in 2 sets: 3 or 4 in the immediate beach front, and another 3 set further back with a view not as great as the full beach front, unfortunately we were assigned one of the furthest ones. Should you book a beach front bungalow you may want to inquire if a full beach front is available. Maybe those could be named beachfront and sea view to avoid disappointment. Overall a lovely place to stay and we would happily stay there again."
