Top Avana Harbour Hotel Reviews

The Passage Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and clean villa. Great location in a quiet place but also close to stores. The ocean view was nice. Thanks Michelle."

Muri Beachcomber

10/10 Excellent

"We chose Muri beachcomber because of the location and boy, were our expectations surpassed. Our room was so close to the water we could see turtles cruising past! Great facilities and vibe without the volume of people at some of the larger resorts, truly a place that we were able to unwind. Highly recommended for the location, facilities and service."

Tropical Sands

10/10 Excellent

"Shhh don't tell anyone about our secret paradise. We're really impressed with this tropical, homely stay. It was far better than we expected! Rudy and Kanoe were warm, responsive and accommodating, and their artwork is stunning. Ieremia loved the banter. The location is beautiful, with the beach just steps away. The accommodation was spotless, with a lovely deck for watching the waves, a kitchen with everything needed to cook, spacious and refreshing bedrooms, and clean bathrooms. A supermarket, takeaway, spa and restaurant are all a short walk away. We'd definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone heading to Rarotonga."

Pacific Resort Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"We had beach front views which was so Amazing & friendly staff. Would definitely return to this resort."

Muri Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location and, despite a few areas needing attention, we had another wonderful holiday in Rarotonga. First time staying in Muri, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. While our room was starting to show its age and the pool area could benefit from a little maintenance, neither took away from what was a fantastic stay. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout, with a special mention to Jaymie, who was especially friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily return."

Muri Motu Outlook

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous views, basics of all you need to cook needed. Close to lagoon, restaurants and best bakeries."

Muri Lagoon View Bungalows

8/10 Good

"Na"

Avana Waterfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views such friendly helpful staff and lots of things to do plus properly had great selection of equipment to borrow for canoe and snorkelling"

Ocean Escape Resort&Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly. The property was always clean and tidy. Fantastic to have a room freshen every few days. Bar service earlier than 4 pm for the guests would be great, especially when they are lounging around the pool Parking was an issue due to the building works. Workers or visitors to the bar took the few spots available, leaving guests to park down the road."
