Top Moturakau Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Great staff. Continental breakfast was adequate. Service was excellent."

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."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean staff lovely and the swimming pool with spa pools was so nice l loved how its so close to town supermarket restaurants airport quiet at night as its away from the busy roads lots of roosters crowing in the area which gives it a country touch it had everything in our villa microwave stove oven Dishwasher washing machine and drier and we used the outdoor Weber BBQ we will stay again if we ever go to Rarotonga again"

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."
