The location was perfect, with a beautiful beach across the road and a short distance to great snorkelling. There was a small food store next door which had everything we needed, plus a great cafe and ice cream parlor, which made my kids happy.

But it was a very pleasant quiet place to stay. Loved there was a cafe & small shopping store right next door. The staff & owner were also friendly & helpful and Lilly the dog was very welcoming. ##### Mary-Anne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene e Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good wee spot Lovely beach across the road, a well-stocked shop next door and the bus stop just along the road means this is a good place to stay if you want to have some peace and quiet, away from the main resort areas. It is a good middle-of-the-road option. The units are roomy and the beds comfortable. Hosts were very accomodating and staff all pleasant. I would stay here again ##### Irene e Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A fantastic, relaxing stay in Rarotonga The Black Pearl is a great spot to base yourself on Rarotonga - excellently located within walking distance of good bars / restaurants and our favourite beach on the island Aroa Beach. The property is spotlessly clean and the room was a great size with all we needed for our stay. Comfy bed and the ceiling fan meant we could stay cool in the heat and relaxed! Best of all are the hosts Steve and Janelle - who are quick to make you feel welcome. Hope to stay with you again someday! ##### Ben Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Gaston Aug 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Only downside of the property was the closeness to the busy main road and the frequent back yard fires by the neighbors. ##### Roger Gaston Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### peter Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities It was quiet, but tired, no tv no radio or clock, no wifi, very very basic , not value for money ##### peter Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Club Raro Resort – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Club-Raro-Resort.h2434054.Hotel-Information) > > [The Passage Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Passage-Villas.h5180358.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Nautilus-Resort.h9203182.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Kept Secret in Tupapa](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Best-Kept-Secret-In-Tupapa.h42074141.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Cove Poipu Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Koloa-Hotels-Hideaway-Cove-Poipu-Beach.h10228128.Hotel-Information) > > [Andy Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mandaue-Hotels-Andy-Hotel.h14651326.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lewiston](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewiston-Hotels.d125678.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Palladio Hotel Buenos Aires - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Palladio-Hotel-Buenos-Aires-MGallery.h30073367.Hotel-Information) > > [Muri Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Muri-Beach-Club.h2729579.Hotel-Information) > > [Natura Beach Pool Villa 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Natura-Beach-Pool-Villa-2.h25779229.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in La Union](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-La-Union-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d553248630201281321-tCasinoHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Crystal-Blue-Lagoon-Villas.h9760511.Hotel-Information) > > [JJ's Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-JJs-Retreat.h16715716.Hotel-Information) > > [Lodges](https://www.expedia.ca/aa/Lodges) > > [Makayla Palms](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Makayla-Palms.h26518112.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hanoi (HAN) to Da Nang (DAD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/han/dad/hanoi-to-da-nang) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/edi/montreal-to-edinburgh) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver-Intl.d5396057.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Enterprise Destinations In Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Destinations-In-Canada.d31-c15.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) ### Activities ### Packages > [Upper Barrakka Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Upper-Barrakka-Gardens-Valletta.d6318187.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Tikehau](https://www.expedia.ca/Tikehau.dx3438) > > [Visit Parry Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Parry-Sound.dx6057818) > > [Visit Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs.dx180676)
