Bungalows are cute and were right on the beach, kitchenette allowed us to make many of our meals, onsite complimentary washer and dryer was a blessing, and staff was extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommend!!

Exactly what you'd want a tropical island accommodation to be...not a generic sterile resort, but a simply styled, well thought out couples retreat, with plenty of space and privacy and incredible beach access. Great access to restaurants etc. If you want to get away from the crowds and chill out, read a book and snorkel in the best spot on the island, go here.

Best Location on the Island
Fantastic Bungalow right on the beach, literally from the veranda onto the beach with access to water deep enough to swim. Really helpful and friendly host. Only slight down side is that the room is a little dark with no view. More than made up for by the location and view from the covered veranda

Teoni and Lucky were perfect hosts. Helpful and informative local information made our trip to the Cook Islands delightful. The location was perfect. Whats not to like about walking out your door straight into the beautiful gorgeous waters of the lagoon! The cleanliness of the bungalows was supreme. Overall we loved Rarotonga beach bungalows, we will certainly visit again.

Secluded, quiet, privacy, clean, no crowds, got the beach to ourselves, water was clear, good snorkeling, hosts were awesome. We were able to check in early and stayed late for our 11:30 pm flight at no additional charge. Tioni and Norma are great hosts, friendly and entertaining.

Best Accomodation in Rarotonga
After seeing a few crappy photos from guests on Expedia and TripAdvisor, we were a little worried about our chosen holiday destination. HOWEVER, we had the best beach holiday we have ever had on the island. The Rarotonga Beach Bungalows are by far the best accomodation on the island offering very close proximity to the beach and lagoon. I highly recommend a beach front bungalow, as we woke up every morning and looked out at the beautiful reef. Tom and the whole team at RBB are very helpful and made our stay relaxing and stress free. We absolutely loved it and we will be back soon.

A little slice of paradise
Perfect location and I suspect one of the best on the island. The doors of bungalow one opened onto the beach and lagoon which was so clean and clear. The bungalows have been so well thought out with every attention to detail. We had everything we needed to hand. Our hosts were exceptionally welcoming and very helpful with nothing too much bother. Snorkel equipment all new and clean. We used the bus the first few days which was perfectly functional and fun however would recommend a car to get around particularly in the evenings to restaurants. We had a great holiday. A 10/10

Ok place but not worth the money
This is a place that is definitely 'service light.' Not bad but not good for the price. Nice people but delivering the minimum. Read the website carefully - free breakfast means a tray with 12 packets of cereal, 2 loaves of bread in their wrappers, vegemite and some packaged jams and butter. Nobody around most of the time.

Cook Island style bungalows on white sand beach
White sand beaches on turquoise lagoon on east side of Rarotonga staying in one of five spacious bungalows built Cook Island style - private and peaceful about half way around the full circuit road. Snorkelling & kayaking gear and warm, friendly staff on-site for 1/2 day then it's all yours! Self catering with good kitchen facilities, clean rooms A/C in bedroom (not needed) & ceiling fans. Good design for breeze - large deck & outside seating area for each bungalow. Bed is pretty firm - foam mattress on solid base so if you like your bed all soft & downy you may find this hard on your back. It was easy to access markets, fruit stalls and small grocery store nearby, or leisurely bus ride into town for other shopping to stock up fridge with lunch/dinner stuff if you want to save some money - eating out is (relatively) expensive & likely to cost more than a meal in Chapel Street Melbourne! Don't waste money on organised tours - hire a car, bike or scooter for a few days & go exploring yourself. A day trip to Aitutaki via Air Rarotonga was a highlight as were the Cook Islanders themselves. Take note - Air New Zealand feel compelled to deny you meals or movies unless you 'upgrade' your fare to include these (apparently) optional 'extras' @ NZD$40 each ! You get a prompt about this if you check in online, but not if you check in at the airport on your return leg,so make sure you organise this in advance as in-flight food options expensive & limited.

Private and close to the beach
From the first moment we felt welcome and was greeted by a very friendly and helpful gentleman, offering us a few beers on the house to settle in! The service, staff and room was immaculate. We had a great time and would definitely return during warmer weather!

Great Snorkeling
These are beautiful bungalows right on the sand. The three closest to the water have gorgeous views of the lagoon. The water is so clear we saw rays, parrot fish, and a moray eel while kayaking out our door. Snorkeling, we saw fish we had never seen before, every time we went out. The bungalows do not have a restaurant, nor a computer station. Wifi is very expensive on Rarotonga and availability can be spotty. Oh, there is a washing machine and dryer guests may use. Great place to chill, as long as a wedding is'nt going on.

Bungalows on the sand 20m to the snorkeling lagoon
Wonderful bungalows on the sand with a 20 metre stroll to the safe lagoon for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking. We used scooters to check it all, and this is the best part of the island. Tom and his staff were very helpful with advice about things to see and do. Nearby pretty Muri village had everything we needed including scooter hire and fuel, minor grocery shopping, and gifts from Black Pearls to T-shirts and sarongs. I used Pacific Divers for my discovery dive. The island is 32km around so everything is reachable in half an hour, including any restaurant you choose. If you don't hire a scooter or car there are regular buses and a taxi service.
