The Black Pearl Beach Side Apartments

8/10 Good

"Lovely people who run the property. Very clean and comfortable."

Whitehouse Apartments Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"The villa was in excellent conditions and clean. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils one would need during a vacation and even had an outdoor grill. Pool water was very cold - alas I visited during the hight of their winter :>). The property and garden area was beautiful and well maintained. Communication with host was very good and check in was very easy. It is in a quiet (and I felt safe) neighborhood and only 3-minute walk to Aroa Beach. A property to recommend on all levels."

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

10/10 Excellent

"The Lagoon is the $M location. Employees in all areas were excellent, friendly and professional. Food at Breakfast Buffet was great with side Chefs offering personalised cooking. Only problem with breakfast was constant broken Coffee Machines, really need to be updated. Rooms were great and excellent team members cleaned daily, professionally with a smile. Only problem we had was only 1 washing machine working for whole resort. Will stay here again and recommend."

Magic Reef Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"The Magic Reef was just what we had in mind and we had a great stay. There was some early misses on how the fans, AC and stove worked but quickly remedied. The pool was attractive but no one actually uses it as the ocean around the island is much better. The conceiege and management were so nice and so accommodating. Hiking the needle was worth the time and effort. Bruce is the best guide - try to get in a small group, even if in the afternoon. We hope to be back some day"

Aroa Beachside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Nice spot, right on the beach which was great for swimming. You can snorkel down the ways. They have an onsite restaurant and bar and happy hour was super popular. The beds were very comfortable and parking was easy. It's a very laid back hotel and checked in at the Bar. nice place and would stay again."

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed in 2br garden villa. Good, clean accommodation but let down by no hot water for shower. Got slightly better after mentioning to staff but would expect better at these prices. Resort was relaxing and had everything you need. Clean and comfortable. However if you are expecting modern 5 star it is not up to that level. Aging infrastructure that takes time to improve. You can see this is gradually being done. Staff were very helpful and courteous. Happy hour every day 4-6. Great value. Breakfast buffet was fine and had something for everyone."
