Every staff member was most gracious and extremely helpful. Excellent insights in all the nooks and crannies of the island became our insights from the staff . Wake up to see turquoise water is a real treat. Staff constantly tidying up everywhere.. I thought we were on a high end cruise for all the staff ready to help.. Thank you Sanctuary Rarotonga and The Rarotongan, Cook Islands..

I had such high expectations, as colleagues had just stayed and raved about the place, alas our experience was not a great one. Bar service was extremely slow, despite not being particularly busy. The meals were hit and miss, after waiting almost 2 hours for dinner one night, for the steak to turn up blue and cold not medium rare, honestly think they forget our order altogether, restaurant closes 9pm, dinner received 9:45pm. I also ordered a fish dish, expecting amazing fresh fish, but what I got was over cooked and appeared to be old, a.k.a from the freezer. House keeping kept forgetting to give us beach towels and activities hut were mad when we asked for more. No hot water for last 3 days of our stay, so cold showers only. Staff were friendly (mostly) but seemed really short staffed. On a plus the snorkelling was incredible and helped somewhat redeem our average stay

We were here for 3 nights and had the best time. Check in and out are quick, easy and efficient by the friendly front of house staff. The pool and swim up bar are great. Food in the restaurant at breakfast, dinner and lunch is fantastic. There are also some awesome veggie and vegan options. We had the tofu scramble one morning and it was so good! The location is next level. Perfect for snorkelling, kayaking and SUP-ing…all of which are provided by the resort. The rooms are set out so you have a great view from your bed and an area to sit and enjoy the surroundings outside. Bathroom was big and clean. They also offer a $10 credit if you complete a form to not have your room made up daily which I think is great. Who really needs fresh towels and linen daily!! The staff are all incredible. We had some great conversations with them and equally great cocktails. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and it really made our trip to Rarotongan that much more special. Thank you!! We will be back

The “adults-only” hotel and pool are nestled so intimately within the larger family friendly grounds that you can’t tell it’s separate.

Staying at Sanctuary and Rarotongan resort has been such a positive and unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the friendly reception to our beautiful beachfront room, or at the restaurants, we have been welcomed by the friendliest and most professional people! The resort offered us lots of different activities, from palm leaves crown weaving to night snorkeling, pareo dyeing, etc., and also moments of total relaxation in a paradise of perfect sandy beaches surrounded by lush tropical gardens! We were impressed by the beauty and attention to detail, all in natural materials that perfectly blend with the stunning beauty of its location. A special thank you to Laisa, who has been so helpful to us, and to the wonderful crew at breakfast and dinner! We couldn’t have expected more; you made our stay even more special! Meitaki!!

I was booking 6 days and paid for the booking. When I added one more day, I was charged for the extra day and there changed my paid booking and charged 400$ more for a fully paid up booking and refused a refund. The Hotel self is in need of an up date The breakfast is poor and cheap spam style ham, small amount of fresh fruit Dinner comes out of the same kitchen as next door due to this chips cold and a long wait The only highlights are the staff very friendly and the snorkeling. The Hotel is not worth the price as special when they rip you off
