The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

8/10 Good
"A great place for a family holiday with all you need. Restaurant was top notch for breakfast with something for everyone. Beachside room was basic for the price but quiet most of the time. Beach next door was a better option for us as a busy time of year in August and hotel beachfront very busy with families. Enjoyed the cocktail hour and nibbles. Bus comes into the entrance of hotel every 30 minutes, which is great and no car needed but $5 for each trip so for a family car hire may be more economical."

"Wonderful spot, less windy than other areas, close to airport, cocktails and beer cards a must, breakfast box for early checkout. Beach front room amazing, very pleased we paid a little more for the view off the balcony. Restaurant food was amazing. Staff always helpful and friendly.

"Amazing location and, despite a few areas needing attention, we had another wonderful holiday in Rarotonga. First time staying in Muri, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. While our room was starting to show its age and the pool area could benefit from a little maintenance, neither took away from what was a fantastic stay. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout, with a special mention to Jaymie, who was especially friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily return."

"We had a fabulous stay in a two bedroom villa. Complex is great with a continental breakfast included. A short walk across the road to a beautiful beach with kayaks, snorkel equipment available to use free of charge. Staff were wonderful and facilities great. The rosters in adjoining property can take a bit to get used to but would still highly recommend for location (beautiful sunsets) and value. Bus stop is right outside for the island bus."
