Several other dining options available within walking distance. In House tours and transport to market. Grounds maintained every day. Always seating around the pool area. Adults only hotel (over 16 age cut off) so very relaxed and quiet while we were there.

Many positives. Not cheap but worth the extra $ to have a beach view room imo. Nice people running and operating it. all very friendly and relaxed. The biggest and easiest improvement would be to upgrade breakfast. It's a very basic continental and could be so much better with some small improvements. The office closes early as well and whilst you have the owner's number if you need anything you tend not to want to disturb him (or at least I didnt) for general info etc. ##### Stephen Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Oct 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay was flawless—a perfect adults-only resort for relaxation and rejuvenation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b5339b1f-ee7f-4f54-bdcd-1d1d9ec3d617-1760135420828.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8100efeb-9b5a-4054-a384-2e5405d2e2be-1760135443344.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f6fdf51-af92-498a-b2c9-dfc278695b7c-1760135440232.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Emma Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa Jul 15, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent staff service and stunning location. ##### Vanessa Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne Sep 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely beautiful resort.

Otherwise Fantastic. ##### HERMAN Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Manuia Beach Resort is the best resort! We will not stay anywhere else when visiting Raro. The staff are the best and provide friendly excellent service. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking with white sand all around the resort and an infinity pool overlooking the crystal clear lagoon/ocean. Cannot rate Manuia any higher!! ##### Kathleen Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 8, 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### It was ok. Was expecting a lot more based on previous ratings. Pool area is very nice. Room was only ok. Staff were friendly. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne Dec 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved how peaceful the resort was. Beautiful pool - but more shade could be good. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing was a problem! Food fantastic. Christmas Day lunch was so great!!!! Thank you so much. ##### Joanne Verified ### 8/10 Good #### STEPHEN Sep 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The hotel had everything you wanted for a great holiday. It was just a shame that our complimentary pick up from the airport never arrived as expected,also nobody showed us to our room and there was no goodwill gesture offered even though there was a weak apology for their mistake. Otherwise everything else was fine and we very much enjoyed our stay. ##### STEPHEN Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 13, 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel Fantastic staff, helpful, friendly, knowledgable and very obliging. Great restaurant, probably one fo the best on the island. We did eat out at various other establishments but nothing compared to the meals we were served at Manuia Beach. The location was excellent, scooter hire just across the road and bus stop at the gate. Far enough away from the bigger resorts so as to feel like you were completely escaping from the world!! Adults only complex which made for very peaceful surroundings. The facilities were adequate although possibly a little more basic than we had anticipated, (just as there were no cooking facilities at all in our room) however it did not deter from our enjoyment and we are definately planning to return to Rarotonga nexct year, and will most likely stay at Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel again next time. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon Oct 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Manuia Resort is a fantastic place to stay. The staff are really friendly and helpful - nothing seems too much trouble. It's quiet and has no children, a plus for me. Beautiful infinity pool, snorkels and kayaks to borrow, comfy loungers to enjoy the sun or shade on the beach or around the pool. Great restaurant with a delicious range of dishes though it is expensive. Continental and cooked breakfast in the beachside restaurant was included in our clean, gorgeous room's price. The huge plus though is the location. Amazing beachfront units with palms and lush gardens from which we enjoyed the ocean and pool view as well as the passing whales. A few more and cheaper bar snack-style food offerings would make it pretty much perfect. Not the cheapest place I've stayed but I would go back in a heartbeat. ##### Sharon Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice Mar 25, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place to stay, the resort is in the best side of the island where there is shelter from the wind and an amazing restaurant on site. Had multiple gluten free options in the complementary breakfast and the staff were very lovely. Also loved the guest room with shower for a late checkout and the free airport shuttle. ##### Alice Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Manuia gehört zu den Besten auf Raro Mit 24 Suites ruhig und überschaubar, ausgezeichneter Service und sehr freundlicher General Manager, den man auch täglich persönlich trifft. Mittwochs 15Uhr ist Apero mit ihm am Strand, Sonntag abends gibt's eine Kulturschow: beides nicht verpassen. Preis-Leistung stimmt absolut, auch im OTB Restaurant das zum Resort gehört. Die Mittag und Abend-Küche dort ist ausgezeichnet, teils Weltklasse; nur das Morgenbuffet wirkt ein bischen mager. 8 Suiten haben Ocean View, und das lohnt sich wirklich: Meeresrauschen, Lagune, Beach, Sonnenuntergang ! Gleich an der Strasse vorn gibt's eine Auto-/Vespa-Vermietung und ein Shop (Getränke für unterwegs usw.). Transfer vom und zum Flughafen sind inklusiv. Internet download 4Mb / upload 2Mb (reicht für YouTube in 360p); Vodaphone SIM-Karte kaufen ist empfehlenswert (LTE 20Mbps). Auf Rarotonga sind diese kleineren Anlagen, vor allem 1-stöckige, viel anmachlicher als die grösseren. Muri Beach sollte man meiden und die Ostküste hat kaum Strände, Manuia war einfach die perfekte Wahl. Falls ich mal zurückkehre auf diese 40Std Anreise, dann Manuia, ganz klar. ![View towards resort ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B00D654E1AE6F658DE31FB7F2411DAC7533FC3011689189819125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/92685BEBF38BEB8B94CD4EFA907DEDAC23FA4F851689189817653.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunday night show](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/01C9DEF0CAE5277F777042228C53E34DAD8EF0341689189817547.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Waves on reef](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CA48CD41EE87DC2585A38934AC77D5409FCBAE931689189815503.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Adam Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Carolyn Jun 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Pool was beautiful. Felt like this place was a bit oversold. There was no spa/massage as advertised. Menu at restaurant was very limited. Cocktails were less than average. Outdoor shower was interesting. Would have been nice to have an indoor shower as well. ##### Carolyn Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Beach Hotel in Gulf Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gulf-Coast-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d6209919-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Stafford Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Stafford-Creek-Hotels.d6224567.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Crystal-Blue-Lagoon-Villas.h9760511.Hotel-Information) > - [Club Raro Resort – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Club-Raro-Resort.h2434054.Hotel-Information) > - [Sanco Inn Nagoyashinkansenguchi Annex](https://www.expedia.ca/Nagoya-Hotels-SANCO-INN-NAGOYASHINKANSENGUCHI-ANNEX.h19827700.Hotel-Information) > - [Muri Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Muri-Beach-Club.h2729579.Hotel-Information) > - [JJ's Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-JJs-Retreat.h16715716.Hotel-Information) > - [The Passage Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Passage-Villas.h5180358.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels with smoking rooms in Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterfront-Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-n553248635976007924-0-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Natura Beach Pool Villa 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Natura-Beach-Pool-Villa-2.h25779229.Hotel-Information) > - [Nautilus Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Nautilus-Resort.h9203182.Hotel-Information) > - [Makayla Palms](https://www.expedia.ca/Rarotonga-Hotels-Makayla-Palms.h26518112.Hotel-Information) > - [Brown's Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Rocco-Forte-Browns-Hotel.h438636.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from sarajevo intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/sjj/flights-from-sarajevo-intl-airport) > - [Flights from Kaohsiung (KHH) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/khh/tpe/kaohsiung-to-taipei) > - [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Rio Segundo (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/sjo/los-angeles-to-san-jose) > - [Flights from Sandspit (YZP) to Lloydminster (YLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yzp/yll/sandspit-to-lloydminster) > - [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Greensboro (GSO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/gso/calgary-to-greensboro) > - [Air Canada Mississauga (YYZ) to Mexico City (MEX) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-mexico-city-intl/ac/yyz/mex) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > - [Pelee Island Winery](https://www.expedia.ca/Pelee-Island-Winery-Kingsville.d553248621532864677.Vacation-Attraction) > - [Miette Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Miette-Hot-Springs-Alberta.d6290530.Vacation-Attraction) > - [Tokyo Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo.d179900.Destination-Travel-Guides) > - [Santa Barbara Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara.d602277.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals ### General
