We had a fantastic stay at The Islander Hotel Rarotonga and couldn't have chosen a better place. The location is perfect—just a few minutes from the airport and close to everything you need, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the island. One of the highlights was the beachfront restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, with excellent dishes and a beautiful setting overlooking the sea. Breakfast was also outstanding, offering a great variety of fresh and tasty options to start the day. Our room was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Most of all, we were impressed by the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The Islander Hotel is the perfect combination of a great location, excellent food, outstanding service, and a relaxed tropical atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rarotonga!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (76 reviews)
We recently spent a week staying in the cabins and, overall, had a pleasant experience. The surroundings were beautiful, with lovely natural scenery that created a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were friendly, helpful, and provided good service throughout our stay. The area was generally quiet and calm, making it a great place to unwind. However, there was quite a bit of noise during the night from chickens and dogs, which unfortunately disturbed our sleep on several occasions. The breakfast was somewhat disappointing and did not meet our expectations. The portions were very small, and the overall selection was more limited than we had anticipated. In summary, this is a charming place with beautiful surroundings and good service. However, improvements to the breakfast would make the experience even better.
