The Islander Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Property very close to the airport and just walking distance. Staff very helpful and nice property"

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The room was right next to the most beautiful beach with fantastic snorkelling. The swimming pool was lovely and there was a swim-up bar where you could order drinks. I liked that guests could use The Rarotongan facilities too such as the pool, beach, activities hut and restaurant. There was a great selection of food available to eat during breakfast. The bus stop was right opposite the resort which was handy. I would still recommend hiring a car to get places quickly. My bedroom needed a drying rack and the tv sound was not the best, but it didn’t matter too much because I was out and about most of the day. The main thing I didn’t like was that the restaurant floor was sand - it would be much better if it was concreted and then tiled."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Akapuao Tapere?

The best time to visit Akapuao Tapere is during the dry season, which runs from April to November.

This period generally offers consistent sunshine, lower humidity, and pleasant temperatures averaging around 25-28°C. This makes it ideal for enjoying the island's outdoor activities, from swimming and snorkelling in the clear lagoons to exploring the lush interior. You'll find the conditions superb for relaxing on the beaches without the interruption of frequent rain showers.

For travellers planning a romantic getaway, visiting during the shoulder months of April/May or October/November can be particularly appealing. The weather is still excellent, but there are fewer crowds compared to the peak months of July and August. This allows for a more relaxed and private experience, whether you're enjoying a quiet dinner by the sea or exploring hidden coves.

Families often find the dry season, especially during school holidays, to be the most convenient time. The stable weather ensures that planned activities like boat tours, visits to the Muri Lagoon, or exploring the Punanga Nui Market aren't disrupted.
