Beach front location with great snorkeling and great buffet breakfast. Need more people to support water activities like the Vaka where you have to pull it back up from the beach. Also if providing Vaka lessons, I would recommend having an experience person on board when taking it out first time.
The cleaners were fantastic but some of the resort staff were abit unhelpful. The breakfast was amazing, and the bar was great the staff there were very good.
Food was amazing, staff are wonderfull. The property needs some maintenance but staff where working away on it. It was clean and everything you need is there.

The resort as a whole is fantastic! Staff were all great! Very friendly and helpful. The room was very nice and clean. Lots to do and lots not to do!!
Room was excellent, beach facing with good views.
We had good entertainment while at the resort and a buffet meal while attending the island drum show.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
Breakfasts were excellent, good buffet style and you can get good cooked omelettes from the chef’s.
Downside is the food from the grill bar during day and evenings is average.
I will be back to the Rarotongan Resort

Family friendly. Amazing lagoon filled with so much sea life. Staff were absolutely phenomenal. Rooms are a little outdated and small, but we were only in them to sleep.

The snorkeling was incredible and there are all the facilities that you need as a family, although some facilities are for 18+ only. The rooms are a little dated.
We stayed here to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday. Our second time staying at The Rarotongan Beach Resort and Lagoonarium.
Absolutely impressed with the full buffet breakfast, this is a complete upgrade from when we last stayed.
The staff from front desk, the bar, dining and service staff were so accommodating and friendly. We honestly didn't want to leave.
The free wifi was also a bonus.
The location is just spectacular and my family thought so too! Hopefully the rooms will be updated and modernised (not that we spent much time in the rooms) as we spent most of our time at the beach.
Thanks to all the friendly staff who made our trip worthwhile, we have some fantastic memories to hold on to, can't wait to stay again :)
We enjoyed the interconnected rooms as a family of 4. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Breakfast selection of hot and continental was great. Pool area always clean, amazing beach for swimming and snorkeling
We had a great room, spacious, comfy bed, big bathroom & lounge area & private outdoor deck.
The lagoon is great for a relaxing vacation. You can sunbathe, snorkel. kayak, swim and hang out with the friendly resort dogs.
