Red Hibiscus Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, highly recommended"

Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely, the beds were so soft and comfortable. There is a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer/drying rack which were very helpful. The pool area is nice an relaxing. The site is about 15-20 min from the bus if you don't have a car, the walk is comfortable if you like walking (bring a small torch if walking at night on the road) If you have a car, there is plenty of parking and its a great location to explore the island and local town."

The Islander Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I could not fault The Islander. From the moment we checked in we felt like part of a large family. From the friendly smile and impeccable service from Serena at reception, to the amazing party vibe from Memory in the Hula Bar. To our wonderful friendly wait staff, bar staff, room turn over ladies. WOW JUST WOW. Meals ( breakfast, lunch and dinner were so tasty, fresh and very generous portions. Thanx chefs. Beds super comfy, shower was exceptional pressure. Meitaki Ma'ata Team."

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."

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."
