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."

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The most stunning ocean views from the upstairs rooms, would be hard to beat, staff were friendly, the pool was great as were the cocktails and meals. Good location within walking distance to lots of restaurants, fabulous coffee at the container across the road. Complimentary breakfast was very basic, but adequate. Would we come here again, absolutely, this resort was lovely and quiet. PERFECT."
