Top Tupapa Tapere Hotel Reviews

The Islander Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, walking distance from airport which is perfect for late check in, Excellent communication with thoughtful staff. Clean, spacious rooms and a nice pool with patio."

The Black Pearl Beach Side Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Would highly recommend and would stay again. Spacious clean rooms. Just across the road from the beach and had a nice refreshing pool. Used BBQ and borrowed reef shoes + snorkel. Nice vibe around the block as the rooms have terrace balconies opening to the garden and we were so lucky to have lovely easygoing neighbours 🙂 Shop and dining options just few minutes away"

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and spacious. The only problem we had really is when you are swimming multiple times a day and shower there needs to be a few more towel hooks. Only one in the bathroom even with just shower towels we ended up hanging them over the wardrobe doors. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was basic continental but more than adequate. Pool was great, we had an lovely stay thank you."

Ikurangi Eco Retreat

8/10 Good

"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."

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Stepping out of the room onto the beach was awesome. The room was very comfortable but just a tiny bit dated - still everything was clean and working. The best thing about the place though was the attitude of the staff - they were so welcoming, helpful and personable. They couldn't have been better!"
