Crown Beach Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"Liked the location right on the beach to relax but not for swimming as it’s very rocky. Rooms were tidy n serviced well but bathroom was not well maintained with very old fittings.. water flow in the shower was trickling inspite of them fixing it. Breakfast was exact same every day no change at all. Coconut water was never available. Staff was a mix of being courteous and not too polite. Overall was ok."

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing place to stay. Nicely appointed villas that were well situated for privacy and space in very nice grounds. Rooms were soundproof from neighbouring unit. But was busy and quite noisy outside at times with lots of kids and family groups. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Great snorkelling from the beach across the road, although there is a strong current there - wear flippers! Easy to get around the corner to snorkel outside the Rarotongan. Breakfast was lovely and there were cocktails available late afternoon most days, so that was an unexpected bonus. You’ll need a car or scooter as there are no places for meals within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay here again, as great value for money compared to the bigger resorts."

Manuia Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 8 nights at Manuia Resort for our honeymoon and it was amazing! We stayed in a garden room suite, the room was large clean and the bed was super comfy! The small details are what stood out to us, there was insect repellent (which we forgot), umbrellas which we didn’t even think of, the Nespresso machine made a beautiful coffee and once we had checked out we were still allowed to use all the facilities until our flight later in the afternoon. Happy hour from 12pm-6pm was an absolute treat the $30 beer jug was one of our go too’s. Shout out to Jay from the OTB restaurant he’s an absolute legend and went the extra mile for us! One of the biggest highlights of our stay was the fire show on the Sunday, it pays to book a few days in advance. The show is at the resort which makes things super easy and the buffet bbq was one of the best meals we had. If you can though ask to be seated close to the windows as we got seated close to the bar and had the rest of the punters lined up to get their food around us while we ate. All in all our stay exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back."

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here, first time travelling with our 1 year old and we don’t have anything but positive thoughts about our holiday at the rarotongan. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Our housekeeper was awesome. Please never change your smiles and being great people!! Amazing snorkelling, alot of the gear (kayaks etc) have been upgraded recently so everything is new. Kids club great, activities great and lots of space for the little one to explore. If you want a family friendly place to stay defiantly don’t go past the rarotongan."
