Top Areiti Tapere Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We spent 5nights,without problems People were friendly and nice Specially all the workers, always helpful, smiling .. Will be back soon Maitaki"

The Islander Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location location location. A perfect place to stay for one night between a flight in and a flight out. Cross the road to get to the airport. Hotel is fine but a little run down -- my room had a collapsed soap dish. There is revelry till about 11 pm outside the rooms. Breakfast from 8 am -- I walked to the supermarket and got what I needed."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"An unforgettable week in paradise! Kia Orana Resort and Spa exceeded every expectation from the moment we arrived. The staff greeted us with genuine warmth and traditional hospitality, making us feel like family instantly. Our garden villa was pristine, and spacious with a lovely outdoor shower and soaking tub. The housekeeping team kept the room orderly with daily tidy-up service. The spa is a sanctuary of absolute tranquility; the deep tissue / hot stone massage I received was arguably one of the early highlights of the trip. The pool was in the midst of a renovation and being that it was winter we did not partake. Daily morning continental breakfast and coffee was a nice treat. Thank you to our lovely host Sane and the entire team at Kia Orana for an incredible, stress-free week of pure relaxation. We will be back!"

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed as a couple and I could see that it would suit a family very well also. Plenty of room in our villa, generous supplies such as milk, tea, coffee, soaps, shampoo, toilet paper etc. Lovely breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal & toast in the open air cafe which is situated right next to play area for kids, handy for families. Staff so friendly and helpful. There is a small bakery and takeaway/cafe within walking distance but closest bar or restaurant would be 2km away. I would advise first timers to Cooke Islands to pre book your own transport. (you really need it!) The villas are well equipped for self catering if you choose to do that. Safe snorkelling just across the road with shallow waters and plenty of colorful fish. Lagoon Breeze also had reef shoes, snorkels, masks and fins to borrow which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lagoon Breeze Villas!"
