Club Raro Resort- Adults Only ★★★

📍 Rarotonga, Avarua

"Love staying here, will be coming back"

Atupa Suites
9.1 (161 reviews)

Atupa Suites ★★★★

📍 1 Ariki Rd, Avarua

"The location is not great - the nearest bus stop is 10-15 minutes walk. There is not much of service- it does not accommodate for early check in or late check out, and you have to find a place to store you own suitcases, see attached photo- Very problematic if you do not have a rental car. The next door neighbour had a very very loud party during the first night and really affected my rest. The pool service person knocked on the door on the second day without any notice. Pool maintenance should be arranged when there is no guest. Would not recommend."

Rarotonga GolfSeaView
8.2 (428 reviews)

Rarotonga GolfSeaView ★★★★

📍 Corner Hospital Road and Ara Pa Metua Road Nikao, Rarotonga, Avarua

"Lovely view with a nice balcony. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Good kitchenette setup. Only two downsides were a bit of a sewerage smell and very steep driveway to walk down and up."

The Islander Hotel
8.1 (115 reviews)

The Islander Hotel ★★★

📍 Ara Tapu, Avarua

"It's very close to the airport, practically a one-minute walk. This is extremely convenient for waiting for your return flight or transiting to Aitutaki. There's also a small souvenir shop not far to the east of the hotel."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa ★★★★

📍 2 Pa Ariki Rd, Rarotonga, Avarua

Red Hibiscus Villas
9.1 (215 reviews)

Red Hibiscus Villas ★★★

📍 Puka Uenga Road, Avarua

"Great bungalow. I recommend renting a scooter or car. 5 minutes to the beach or into town."

Rainbow Villas
10 (22 reviews)

Rainbow Villas ★★★★

📍 Ara Metua, Avarua

"Wonderful place to stay! The host could not have been more attentive, but was also not at all intrusive. For example, I requested an iron and as there wasn't one on site, the owner tracked one down for me and brought it back to Rainbow Villas for me. Every day we had fresh fruit from the garden left for us, and fresh flowers were regularly left on our balcony and in our room. Room was spotless, and the little kitchen was well-appointed. They even had cold juice, water and coconut biscuits waiting for us! Bathroom was well stocked with towels and needed toiletries. Bed was really comfy, and we were any easy walk to the beach across the golf course, and to Antipodes (best restaurant on the island), and an easy walk to Anchorage and Flying Turtle cafe. The pool is also perfect! 10/10 venue and hosts. "

Central Motel ★★
"This hotel has the best city location in Avarua - the capital of the Cook Islands. It is a 5 minute walk to supermarkets, nightclubs and wide range of shops. The rooms are quite spacious and the beds comfortable. The rooms has good air-conditioning. I was also allowed to access my room at 9:00am, well before check inn time - I really appreciate the management team, for making this possible. There is a small pool, which appeared to be clean and well maintained. However, there was some negatives. I saw a large cockroach in the bathroom. Although, they claim to include free wifi, it a very limited service. They includes 2 vouchers, which just Ok to view email. If you want to watch a video for about 5 minutes, the voucher is gone. However, reliable internet and affordable internet is a big issue in the Cook Islands. There is only one channel available on the TV. Don't be put off by the exterior of the building, which is not the best. The rooms are OK, and have all the essentials. The rates at this hotel are very favourable, when compared to pricey resorts, a long way from the centre of Avarua. I would still recommend this hotel for location and price."

Rarotonga GolfSeaView ★★★★
"Rarotonga GolfSeaView was a good spot to stay. We just spent 1 night while waiting for our flight home early the next day. Rooms were clean and well equipped. It was nice to be able to walk down to Black Rock. It was close to the airport so was an easy transfer in the morning via Tiare Transport. It was also just down the road from Antipodes Restaurant, where we had booked in for a great dinner. Other rooms seemed to be occupied by families and groups which these units would be suited to. Would need a car if you wanted to explore further afield. A good choice for those that want to self-cater and don’t want to pay resort prices."

"We stayed one night before an early flight. The location was great and the food at the restaurant was great. The room was nice and comfortable. The bar music was loud until 11pm on a Saturday night."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa ★★★★
"The room was clean and tidy, with towels changed and the room cleaned daily. The hotel, similar to a guesthouse, was very convenient, equipped with a stove and tableware, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer, making us feel right at home. The hotel butler service was particularly warm and attentive, always ready to help. Since the hotel only provides breakfast from Monday to Saturday, they proactively drove us to the supermarket to buy food and drinks, and even booked taxis and sightseeing shows for us, as we didn't have a rental car. The hotel is located in the north of the island, close to the mountains, in a quiet and peaceful environment."

"These are lovely villas in a very convenient location up above the golf course. It's really beautiful to sit out on the balcony in the evening and enjoy the view. The pool is gorgeous with lovely gardens around. Ira and Eric are very welcoming and helpful hosts. I will definitely stay here again"
